【Part2】Describe an interesting conversation you had with others4

I attended a debating tournament held in Singapore last year together with two senior students from my college. It was quite a special experience to me since it was my first time abroad and I also met a lot of brilliant debaters from other countries. We debated and also talked with debaters from different countries, with different backgrounds and identities. I was impressed by a gorgeous boy who came from Malaysia. Apart from his handsome appearance, he was also a knowledgeable and logical man with outstanding public speaking skills, which made him the spotlight in the crowd. I first encountered him in a round of debate about religion and after the tournament I got a chance to talk with him about our beliefs. When I was talking with him, he was glowing with passion and inspiration, which was rare among our peers. Since he’s a Muslim （穆斯林）and I’m non-religious, we were trying to make each other understood by sharing our experience and perspective. When I was sharing my view with him, I was surprised to find that he was an open-minded, eloquent person, always willing to learn about the things he didn’t know. What he said impressed me the most was that debating with people from different culture background enables us to throw away our biases and prejudices and understand a different world. It was a really interesting conversation since two people from different culture background could exchange our opinions freely without any preconceived ideas（偏见）. I also learned from this conversation that only when you try to learn more about someone could you really see how good or bad they are.
