Dear Diary，

Im so happy today. I， along with my three classmates， signed up for a debate competition which was held in my school， Yangzhong Senior School. As a group， we participated in it on behalf of Class 5 to debate whether the children should be mainly responsible for the generation gap between parents and children.

Unfortunately， our opponents were students from Class 1， which is the top class in our school. Of course， they were regarded as the absolute winners. However， we didnt lose our heart. If they were strong， we were determined to be stronger. Knowing it would be a tough battle， we made full preparations for it. We spared enough time to discuss the strategies. Whats more， we were clearly assigned to play different roles in this debate respectively. I was chosen to be the leader， while my three classmates served as my partners. We searched for plenty of arguments and sorted them out accurately to support our standpoint.

Eventually， the tense moment came. Confident and well prepared， we reached the appointed place. We encouraged and supported each other. Though the opponents were fairly strong， our perfor?mance gained higher praise. After the heated debate， we won the competition！ How excited we were！ Words failed me when I was awarded the prize of the best debater. Nothing is impossible as long as you try your best to fight for it！ The competition strengthens our thinking ability and develops our speaking skills. Its fortunate for me to enter such a competition.
