Notice
We have the pleasure to inform you that the Students’ Union will hold a debate on Nature and Nurture in the auditorium from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the 18th of October. 1
Which has more influence on us, nature or nurture? Over the years, various experiments and studies have been carried out in an effort to determine the relative importance of heredity and environment. Some studies suggest nature and nurture are equally important while others say no. The debate over the importance of genes and environment still continues. 2
All the students are warmly welcome to join in the competition. 3 Those who want to take part in the competition are supposed to come to sign up at the office of the Students’s Union before October 4th. 3 The winners in the final will be given prizes. 3 Please decide on a position you would like to argue for and try your best to get ready. And we expect all the debaters’ outstanding performance. 3
Wishing you success! 4

通知
我们很高兴地通知您，学生会将于10月18日下午两点至五点在礼堂举办一场关于“先天遗传和后天培养”的辩论赛。
哪个对我们的影响更大？是先天遗传，还是后天培养？多年以来，人们进行了各式各样的实验和研究，试图查明遗传和环境的相对重要性。一些研究指出，先天遗传和后天培养同样重要，然而另一些则不这么认为。关于基因和环境的辩论仍在继续。
我们欢迎所有的学生参与比赛。想要参赛的同学需要在10月4日之前到学生会的办公室报名。决赛中获胜者会有奖品。请决定你要辩论的阵营并且尽全力做好准备。我们期待所有辩手的精彩发挥。
期待你们的成功!
