In the Zongheng Cup Debate and Ivy Cup Speech Contest, I addressed topics such as global development imbalance, school discipline, and the power of dreams. Through argument construction, live articulation, and cross-cultural expression, I sharpened my public speaking skills and critical thinking. These events deepened my understanding of how youth voices can engage meaningfully with global and social challenges.

Through comparative training in Eastern and Western rhetorical styles, I learned to articulate values and perspectives with cultural precision. The chart reveals that Western logic emphasizes direct reasoning, open debate, and individual interests, while Eastern strategies prioritize indirect delivery, private mediation, and collective harmony. This contrast deepened my ability to shift communication styles across contexts, laying the groundwork for further exploration of narrative structures and value expression in East Asian thought systems.
