Eloquence is more important than literary talent (second debate draft)
Thank you, Chairman! Good evening, judges, opponents and audience!
The other debater just said that literary talent is the basis of eloquence, which is not true. Another debater not only didn't make clear the meaning of literary talent and eloquence, but mistakenly expanded the meaning of literary talent and infinitely narrowed the concept of eloquence. Modern Chinese Dictionary explains that literary talent is writing ability, which means that people can express their views and feelings by writing poems and give full play to their written expression ability. Eloquence is the ability of language expression in social communication, such as speaking, debating and speaking. It is a comprehensive embodiment of a person's knowledge level and thinking ability. It can be seen that literary talent and eloquence are two different ways of thinking of human beings, which overlap in some aspects, but there is no basis for who is who. Their similarities should be based on knowledge accumulation and so on. Therefore, the other debater can't arbitrarily say that a writing ability is the basis of eloquence. (foundation, cultural communication, etc. )
Let me give you an example from life. The teacher or interviewer asks you to answer a question. Didn't you say, write your thoughts on paper? No matter how good the talent is, but the eloquence is not good, will stuttering leave a good impression on people? Is this a proverb? Jiaozi can't be cooked in a teapot! ? It satirizes those who are literary but not good at expressing their thoughts. I think it should be clear to all that, as far as occupation is concerned, there are far more people who live by eloquence than by literary talent. This shows that eloquence is more important than literary talent. Because eloquence acts directly on people, while literature acts on things before people. Eloquence is faster, more infectious and influential than literary talent in the mode of communication.
Eloquence is more widely used than literary talent, and its actual effect is more obvious, so it is more important than literary talent. Personally, a person's eloquence reflects his thinking level, psychological quality, world outlook and outlook on life. People with eloquence are more persuasive, can express their thoughts directly and accurately, and are more suitable for the needs of society. From the social level, excellent eloquence can make communication more efficient, and good eloquence can also help you establish excellent interpersonal relationships, thus promoting social development. Eloquence is more important, far-reaching and practical, both in meaning and function.
I believe everyone here knows that in daily life, the practical role of eloquence is incomparable to a literary talent. Eloquence is easy to understand; The writing is good, but sometimes it is not easy to understand. Eloquence shows quick response wit; Literary talent is not, just like this debate, no matter how much preparation is made in the early stage, playing on the court is king. Using eloquence, you can communicate directly with both sides, while literary talent can only be output in one direction. Two-way communication can feedback in time, and the effect is definitely better than one-way output.
To sum up, we insist? Eloquence is more important than literary talent? This view.
