赛后采访

这是一场对于我和我的par来说非常有意义的比赛，是我和我的par参加三次tournament第一次冲出积分赛进入决赛阶段并且意外进入了16强。特别要感谢我的par，我们有最好的默契。在比赛中发现了自己的很多不足，一个是知识面仍然不够广，很多辩题涉及的问题都是自己没有听过或者没有思考过的东西。另一个是辩论技巧，与其他老手相比，我们的框架结构，逻辑链等等仍然需要大量的学习和练习去完善。这场比赛的意义远超比赛本身。它是一场women debate，赛前请了好几个外国奶奶给我们做workshop，给我们分享事业等方面的建议和经验，很热情也让人觉得很温暖。这场比赛让我觉得，作为一个女孩子，我很幸运。

首先非常感谢我的par金曦童，我们在赛前犯怵的时候一直互相打气，拿到辩题后在想法上也常常能互补，可以顺利地整理出清晰的思路。在这次BPW比赛中，我们遇到很多非常新的辩题，比如一些有关元宇宙和兵役的题目。从中我们认识到了自己在某些领域的不足，也意识到了拓宽阅读面的必要性。“思路清曦”会一直努力提升自己，带着最好的默契期待下一次挑战。
