Interpersonal Relationships VS Practical Abilities（陈述观点）正方一辩：Hello, everyone. Today we will have a debate about which, interpersonal relationships or practical abilities, is more important to a successful career. As far as we’re concerned, interpersonal relationship is more important than personal ability in our life. A person’s practical abilities are shown through chances, and chances are created or given by people around you. If there are no opportunities, then how can you put your abilities into use? As we can see, there are many people who have strong abilities but can’t bring them into play just because there are no chances. In addition, the interpersonal relationship can affect a person’s emotion. A good interpersonal relationship can make us happy and positive. However, a bad one will make us sad and negative. And emotion also plays a very important role in our working. So, in a word, we think that interpersonal relationship is more important than practical abilities. That’s all, thank you.反方一辩：We hold the view that practical ability is more important. There is a proverb: a person of integrity can stand any tests. What the practical abilities to success, the groundwork to a building. Without enough height, the building is merely not that grand. However, without a stable groundwork, the building can be dangerous. Y our practical abilities give you an access to a job, and then your interpersonal relationships help you do the job well. But if you can’t get the job first, let alone do it well. So we are in favor of practical abilities going first, in other words, practical abilities are more important than interpersonal relationships. That’s all, thank you.（双方相互提问）正方二辩：We don’t deny the importance of ability. However, if there is not the platform for your development built by interpersonal relationship, your ability may be not available in the end, and you are nothing. So, will you agree with me?反方二辩：I’m afraid not. In my opinion, gold is always shining. As long as one works hard all the time, his ability will be known to other people sooner or later. On the contrary, I don’t think one will succeed if he has a good interpersonal relationship but moderate abilities.正方二辩：A survey made by Stanford Research Center shows that 12.5% of money made by people comes from knowledge and 87.5% comes from interpersonal relationship. And in Hollywood, such words are popular: whether a person can succeed doesn’t depend on what he knows but whom he knows. That is to say, interpersonal relationship is the key to wealth and success.反方三辩：Firstly, I have no much confidence in the data of this survey. Because I think many factors may haven’t been taken into consideration when making the survey. Secondly, only resorting to a survey can’t demonstrate that interpersonal relationships are more important than practical abilities. It can’t cover all the factors.反方二辩：As we all know, the social competition is becoming fiercer. Without good literal abilities, how can you succeed in a job interview? Can you just tell the interviewer that you have a good interpersonal relationship and let him hire you?正方二辩：A job interview means a process of communication. If you canexpress yourself smoothly and build a good relationship with the employer, I think you will achieve a job easily.反方二辩：The opponent third debater, you give priority to interpersonal relationship, but have you noticed the fact that: a good interpersonal relationship is exactly the performance of a good practical ability? Having a good interpersonal relationship is definitely an aspect of people’s practical abilities, don’t you think so?正方三辩：Y eah, good relationship can be seen as the performance of personal ability, but not every person who has abilities owns good interpersonal relationships. I think this can partly explain the different altitude of many people. From this aspect, we can find that interpersonal relationship is more important than personal ability.反方三辩：What I want to say is that the practical abilities are the premise of interpersonal relationships. If you don’t have good practical abilities, how can your interpersonal relationships benefit you?正方二辩：Interpersonal relationships mean more than practical abilities. Good friends will help us overcome many drawbacks to achieve success in the end.反方三辩：Now it’s my turn. I want to ask the opponent third debater that: is Bill Gates successful and which do you think is more important to his success, his personal ability or the interpersonal relationship?正方三辩：Sure, Bill Gates is a successful man; he knows what is important and grabs the great opportunity at the best time instead of simply relying on his computer operating ability. Besides, according to a Harvard Business School’s survey: of people who has made great achievements in their career, 26 percent rely on the abilities while interpersonal relationships account for 69 percent.正方三辩：We live in a cooperative society and we can’t accomplish a big business by personal ability. And making all kinds of people work hand in hand efficiently is the result of interpersonal relationship. How do you look at this problem?反方二辩：What you emphasized is cooperation and we also think that cooperation is important. But cooperation and interpersonal relationship are totally two different things, I think. And you referred to the problem: how to make all kinds of people work hand in hand efficiently, in my opinion, it’s more a matter of one’s practical abilities than his interpersonal relationships.正方三辩：Nowadays there exist some people who are immersed in their own world and don’t contact with others actively. If a person even has trouble in communicating, how can his abilities be found?反方三辩：I’m afraid the opponent debater has mistaken communication as a practical ability. Having trouble in communicating doesn’t mean one has no abilities in other aspects. As we all know, Albert Einstein isn’t good at communicating with others, but he is one of the greatest scientists in the world which no one can deny, so, as we can see, the practical abilities are more crucial than interpersonal relationships.（总结发言）正方四辩：Well, many examples and surveys prove that one who has high intelligence isn’t sure to succeed. There are no necessary connections between the intelligence and the achievement.On one hand, interpersonal relationship is an important way to exchange information and acquire knowledge. Current society is the world of information. Through the social relationship, we can deliver information, and enrich our experience, widen our horizon eventually. On the other hand, if one can get along well with others, he will understand the importance of praise, tolerance and respect. His influence can get abundant exploitation and achieve bigger success in the end.On the contrary, if one lacks positive interpersonal relationships and can’t treat himself and others correctly, narrow-minded, short-sighted, then he can be easily involved in mental and physiological pressure, which will seriously affect his physical and mental health.For all of these reasons, we still think that interpersonal relationship is more important than practical ability. That’s all. Thank you.反方四辩：We can see that now people pay much attention to interpersonal relationships, but we still think one’s practical ability is more important than interpersonal relationships to a successful career. Y our boss will not think much about your interpersonal relationships, he just thinks a lot about how much profit you can create for him. Only strong practical ability can make a successful career. We insist on our viewpoint: one’s practical ability is more important than interpersonal relationships to a successful career.。
