Honorable judges, dear listeners, today I, as the opposing party, would like to raise a point: middle school students should not read extra-cursory books. First of all, we need to be clear about what extra-cursory books are. Extra-cursory books referred to any books other than textbooks and course materials, including novels, essays, poems, biographies, history, philosophy, and so on. In this information age, we are easily surrounded by all kinds of media and access to a huge amount of information, but we often ignore the power of books. Books can teach us knowledge, inspire us to think, cultivate our imagination and creativity, which are the basic skills we need in modern society. However, for middle school students, reading extra-cursory books might bring some negative effects. First of all, textbooks and course materials were the foundation of their learning. These materials could meet their basic learning needs. If middle school students read too many extra-cursory books, it may distract their attention and affect their academic performance. Secondly, excessive reading of extra-cursory books may lead to the decline of middle school students 'reading ability, affecting their future learning and development. In addition, the content of the extra-cursory books might not be suitable for middle school students to read. Some books involve sensitive topics, violence, sex, and other content. If middle school students read these books, it may have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Moreover, the content of some books may be too complicated or difficult to understand, which may have a negative impact on the thinking ability of middle school students. Therefore, I think middle school students should focus on studying textbooks and course materials instead of reading extra-cursory books. At the age of students, they should concentrate on learning basic knowledge and cultivate their own thinking ability and creativity, which is the key to future success.
