Dear judges and dear listeners, Hello everyone, today, as the first debater, I would like to put forward the point of view on behalf of our side: "In the information age, we still need to read more than 10,000 volumes." We are well aware that in today's information age, the Internet provides us with a vast amount of information resources, and we can easily obtain all kinds of knowledge. However, just relying on the information on the Internet can't really let us obtain knowledge. We still need to expand our knowledge through reading books. Reading books can allow us to have a deeper understanding of a subject and grasp more detailed information. Through reading classic literature, we can understand different cultural backgrounds and ideologies, so as to better understand human nature and society. Reading professional books can help us better grasp the knowledge and skills of the field and improve our working ability. Reading can cultivate our thinking and improve our overall quality. By reading different types of books, we can broaden our horizons and cultivate our critical thinking and independent thinking ability. These abilities are important not only in academia but also in our lives and work. Finally, reading books can help us better understand history and culture. Books are the crystallization of human wisdom. Through reading historical and literary works, we can understand different cultures and historical backgrounds, and better understand the development and changes of human beings. In the information age, although we can obtain a lot of information through the Internet, we can't really obtain knowledge just by relying on this information. Only by reading books to expand our knowledge and improve our thinking ability and comprehensive quality can we better adapt to this information age. Therefore, in the information age, one still needed to read more than ten thousand books.
