Report: World ScholarsCup(WSC) Shenzhen Round 2019 Presented by: AyazAlamQayami, SCCSC-WSC Coordinator

The World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) is a celebration of learning and a gathering of nations. It may look like a competition, but it is not. It is an event to help students develop their ability to debate and it is not just all about debate. It is way more than that. It helps students to learn to work as a team, shine their general knowledge, explore different subject areas related to what they are learning at school, deal with serious global issues and if they cannot speak well then debate with their pen and learn how to defend their position on a current topic. WSC also gives students a chance to meet other students from around the world, understand different cultures and most importantly, make new friends.

The World Scholars Cup Shenzhen Round 2019 was held on Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, 2019 and this was our 2nd year in a row participating in this event. This year it was held at two different venues. Day 1 at the Green Oasis School and Day 2 at the China Asia Electronics Trading Centre conference room, both in Shenzhen. The event went on from 8:30 in the morning till 6:00 pm in the evening on the first day and on the second day it lasted till 8:00 pm in the evening. It was attended by more than 550 scholars from Shenzhen and the area around Guangdong.

This year we had 7 teams of 3 members each from our school altogether 21 students, an increase of 5 teams as compared to last year. Tina and Tracy from Class 11.1, Leo, Tony, Bruce, Winnie, Kelly and Dean from 11.2, Victoria, Stephan, Alex and Chris from 11.3, Jeff and Arthur from 11.5,Evelyn, William, Tony and Judy from 11.6 and Edison, Christina and Maggie from 11.10 represented SCCSC in the event.

WSC had 4 main events, including Collaborate Writing, Scholars’ Challenge, Team Debate, and Scholars’ Bowl. In Collaborate Writing, students had to corporate with their teammates to write an argumentative essay supporting a motion and try to convince the reader. For the Scholars’ Challenge, they had to use their knowledge to answer 120 multiple choices questions on paper. The third part, Team Debates, was for debating with other teams from other schools, which was challenging for our students as most of the contestants were from international schools where medium of instruction is English. Finally, in the Scholars’ Bowl, all delegates sat in the hall with their team members and using a clicker answered another set of multiple choices questions based on critical thinking skills.

It gives me greatpleasure to inform that in-spite of being from a bilingual set up still our students didpretty well at the Shenzhen Round and won several silver and gold medals. And the best of all is that Six out of seven of our teams have qualified for the Global Round. This year there will be six global rounds in six different cities around the world (Beijing-China, Astana-Kazakhstan, Hague-Netherlands, Sydney-Australia, Manila-Philippines and Durban-South Africa) and we can participate in any one of them.

Participating in WSC helped our students enhance their knowledge as it brought together many subjects, helped them gain more confidence, develop inter-personal and intra-personal skills, and most importantly make new friends. Having WSC participation on their university applications is an added advantage.

Thank you

我校參加2019年世界學(xué)者杯(WSC)比賽

(深圳賽區(qū))取得優(yōu)異成績

世界學(xué)者杯(WSC)不僅僅是一場比賽，更是一個慶祝世界各地學(xué)習(xí)的活動。這是一項以激勵所有背景的學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)新的加強和實踐新技能的活動。它幫助學(xué)生學(xué)會合作，在不同的全球問題上展示他們的常識。WSC也讓學(xué)生有機會與不同國家的人交流思想，了解不同的文化，最重要的是，結(jié)交新的朋友。

2019年深圳世界學(xué)者杯決賽于2019年5月11日至12日舉行，這是我校第二年參加該賽事。來自廣州的550多位學(xué)者參加了這次盛會，第一天活動在深圳綠洲學(xué)校，第二天在深圳中國亞洲電子交易中心會議室舉行。

今年我們學(xué)校共有7個團隊，每個團隊3人，共21名學(xué)生參賽，比去年增加了5個團隊。他們分別是11.1班的Tina和Tracy，11.2班的Leo、Tony、Bruce、Winnie、Kelly和Dean， 11.3班的Victoria、Stephan、Alex和Chris， 11.3班的Jeff和Arthur，11.6班的Evelyn、William、Tony和Judy，11.10班的Edison、Christina和Maggie 。

WSC有4個特色活動:合作寫作、學(xué)者挑戰(zhàn)賽、團隊辯論和學(xué)者碗。在合作寫作中，學(xué)生和他們的隊友合作寫一篇議論文，試圖說服讀者。為了應(yīng)對學(xué)者們的挑戰(zhàn)，他們必須用自己的知識在紙上回答120道選擇題。第三部分，團隊辯論，是與其他學(xué)校的團隊進行辯論，這對我們的學(xué)生來說是一個挑戰(zhàn)，因為參賽者都是來自以英語為教學(xué)語言的國際學(xué)校。最后，在“學(xué)者碗”里，所有的代表和他們的團隊成員坐在大廳里，用一個點擊器回答另一組基于批判性思維技能的選擇題。
