A 400-word Mandarin composition for the first volume of the fourth grade Chinese composition: Weekly Diary

In order to cooperate with the school's activities to promote Mandarin, last Friday, our fourth (3) class organized a debate competition. The theme of the debate is "Is it better to speak Mandarin or speak dialects?" The positive view is to reject dialects and vigorously promote Mandarin. The counter-argument is that dialect culture is also worth promoting. ?A unique debate was held amidst the expectations of the students. The first person to stand up and speak was Zhengfang Zhang Qi. She said: "As long as you can speak Mandarin, you are not afraid to travel all over the world." Then she gave an example. She said that there are 56 ethnic groups in my country who can speak tens of thousands of languages. Dialects, if there is no Mandarin, how can people of various ethnic groups communicate with each other? Then there is no talk of national unity. Her statement was so persuasive that it was difficult for us to refute it. I was thinking about how to refute her. At this time, my classmate Shujian, who was on the opposite side like me, stood up and said: "Dialect versions of programs run by TV stations are gradually becoming more and more popular. English songs and Cantonese songs are deeply loved by fans. Can't dialects be used?" "Promote it?"? The members of both sides were at loggerheads and the argument was fierce. At this time, the affirmative debater Jincheng stood up confidently under the expectant eyes of the affirmative team members and retorted: "Dialects should indeed be promoted, but it is absolutely impossible without Mandarin. Besides, the dialect version of the program has low ratings and a small audience range. There are few viewers, and Mandarin programs are available on almost every station. How can Mandarin and dialects be compared?" We were refuted speechless. The last part of the debate is the concluding speech stage. The positive side will make a concluding speech from Yijia. Yijia took the opportunity to tell two stories about people speaking in dialects and making jokes. One of the stories said: A noodle shop owner couldn't speak Mandarin, but he used dialects to answer questions to a customer, which made a huge joke. Not only did the customer not know what he was talking about, He couldn't do business himself. Yijia uses this story to illustrate that Mandarin is essential. The positive side used several examples to refute our negative side until we had nothing to say. In the end, we had to admit defeat. ?Although we lost this competition, we fully understand the importance of promoting Mandarin, and we will definitely be excellent propagandists.
