6）发言者如果接受POI ，那么就应针对提问并围绕自己的发言回答问题；
7）除非要提出POI ，否则没有轮到发言的辩手不得在别人发言时起立。如果辩手违反规则提问或有扰乱正常比赛的行为，那么此选手将被主持人宣布犯规；

The argument: key words
I Definite link: smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease, lung
cancer.
2 Governments hear, see, smell no evil.
3 A few governments: timid measures.
4 E.g. Britain: TV advertising banned; nation's conscience appeased;
cancerous death.
5 Official reactions to medical findings: luke-warm.
6 Tobacco: source of revenue. E.g. Britain: tobacco tax pays for education. 7 A short-sighted policy.
8 Enormous sums spent fighting the disease; lives lost.
9 Smoking should be banned altogether.
·10 We are not ready for such drastic action.
I I But governments, if really concerned, should conduct aggressive antismoking campaigns.
12 The tobacco industry spends vast sums on advertising.
13 Advertising: insidious, dishonest.
14 Never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up lungs, only virile
young men.
15 Smoking associated with great open-air life, beautiful girls, togetherness. Nonsense!
16 All advertising should be banned; anti-smoking campaign conducted. 17 Smoking should be banned in public places.
18 Young people should be warned, dire consequences.
19 Warning, death's head, included in every packet•
.20 Governments should protect us from ourselves.
The counter-argument: key words
1 There are still scientists who doubt smoking/cancer link.
2 People who don't smoke should keep quiet.
3 Smoking brings many psychological benefits:
4 Relieves stresses of everyday life: provides constant consolation. 5 E.g. we smoke when taking exams, worried, bereaved, etc.
6 Associated with good living; social contacts made easier.
7 Smoking is very enjoyable: relaxing, e.g, with a cup of coffee; after a meal, etc.
8 It's absurd to suggest we ban it after so many hundreds of years.
9 Enormous interests involved: governments, tobacco growers, tobacco industries, retail businesses.
10 Tax apart, important source of income to many countries: e.g. USA, Rhodesia, Greece, Turkey.
I I People should be free to decide, not bullied by governments; banning is undemocratic.
12 The tobacco industry spends vast sums on medical research. 13 Improved filters have resulted; e.g. Columbia University.
14 Now possible to smoke and enjoy it without danger.

在提示牌提示结束后, 有20秒宽限期, 发言者必须在此期间内完成自己的发言, 如果超过宽限期, 则扣分. 如果发言者发言时间远远少于规定时间, 则评委会将此看作没有充分展开自己的观点而给发言者扣分.
在前1-4环节中, 对方可以根据发言者正在申诉的论点提出本方的观点(point of information,简称为POI) 提问者提出POI 的注意事项:
1）POI 要简短，切题，机智。严禁针对比赛规则和个人提出问题；
2）提出POI 时要从座位上起立，并举手示意. 提问者可以用类似on that point,Sir/Madam的话引起发言者的注意；
3）发言者可以采取以下方式回应对方提出的POI:语言拒绝(类似sorry) 、接受提问（类似ok ）；
4）如果提出POI 的要求被发言者接受，那么POI 的陈述要以澄清事实或提出评论为形式，用一两句话在15秒内表达出来；如果被发言者拒绝，那么提问者坐回原位，准备下一次提问；
5）POI 只能在前四个环节中提出，最后两个环节不能提出，前四个环节内第一分钟和最后一分钟内不可以提出POI ；
6）发言者如果接受POI ，那么就应针对提问并围绕自己的发言回答问题；
7）除非要提出POI ，否则没有轮到发言的辩手不得在别人发言时起立。如果辩手违反规则提问或有扰乱正常比赛的行为，那么此选手将被主持人宣布犯规；
8）评价POI 的提出是否得当，应该看它对正反两方接下来的辩论的影响如何；
9）发言者在发言时须至少接受2次POI ，提问者至少要站起4次示意提POI 。辩手若没有抓住机会提POI 或者在发言中没有接受POI ，评委可酌情扣分；
3、观众提问:观众可向正反方各提一个问题，由双方选派一名选手作答。该环节在正式比赛结束后进行，增加比赛观赏性，不影响比赛结果。
4、评判团评议裁决：由一名评委进行点评，向辩论赛主席递交比赛结果。附评分标准

The argument: key words
I Definite link: smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease, lung
cancer.
2 Governments hear, see, smell no evil.
3 A few governments: timid measures.
4 E.g. Britain: TV advertising banned; nation's conscience appeased;
cancerous death.
5 Official reactions to medical findings: luke-warm.
6 Tobacco: source of revenue. E.g. Britain: tobacco tax pays for education. 7 A short-sighted policy.
8 Enormous sums spent fighting the disease; lives lost.
9 Smoking should be banned altogether.
·10 We are not ready for such drastic action.
I I But governments, if really concerned, should conduct aggressive antismoking campaigns.
12 The tobacco industry spends vast sums on advertising.
13 Advertising: insidious, dishonest.
14 Never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up lungs, only virile
young men.
15 Smoking associated with great open-air life, beautiful girls, togetherness. Nonsense!
16 All advertising should be banned; anti-smoking campaign conducted. 17 Smoking should be banned in public places.
18 Young people should be warned, dire consequences.
19 Warning, death's head, included in every packet•
.20 Governments should protect us from ourselves.
The counter-argument: key words
1 There are still scientists who doubt smoking/cancer link.
2 People who don't smoke should keep quiet.
3 Smoking brings many psychological benefits:
4 Relieves stresses of everyday life: provides constant consolation. 5 E.g. we smoke when taking exams, worried, bereaved, etc.
6 Associated with good living; social contacts made easier.
7 Smoking is very enjoyable: relaxing, e.g, with a cup of coffee; after a meal, etc.
8 It's absurd to suggest we ban it after so many hundreds of years.
9 Enormous interests involved: governments, tobacco growers, tobacco industries, retail businesses.
10 Tax apart, important source of income to many countries: e.g. USA, Rhodesia, Greece, Turkey.
I I People should be free to decide, not bullied by governments; banning is undemocratic.
12 The tobacco industry spends vast sums on medical research. 13 Improved filters have resulted; e.g. Columbia University.
14 Now possible to smoke and enjoy it without danger.
