more competitive or should they learn to co-operate with each other? These are what 
will be discussed in the writing below. 
First of all, competition is a must in today
’s 
society. Without it we cannot improve 
ourselves and become better than before. Competition motivates us in life, in 
the 
working environment and also in education. Children need to be taught to compete 
with others to become a better student in terms of grades and virtue because when 
they grow up and start to work, competing is crucial in leading a good life and to be 
successful. For example, if a person wants to create his or her own company, that 
company must be able to compete with others to survive and continue to grow in the 
market, and so the owner must know what to do to keep the company alive. 
However,
being
over-competitive is a backbite and can lead to a big failure, so 
children must also have the idea of co-operation. Co-operation is needed so that 
competition is kept at 
the
right level. In other words, they must be parallel and must 
support each other. Take that example of Liverpool football club who are competing 
in the Premier League in England. They are competitive enough to fight for the 
championship, and they are also known to be a very co-operative team, because their 
manager tells them to attack and defen
d
together. Strikers must take part in 
defending and defenders must help in attacking, and that results in a huge number of 
goals they usually score in one match, because every player has their chance to score. 
In order for this philosophy to work, the players have to co-operate well with each 
other in the match, if not then it
would be a big loss due to their lack of teamwork in 
both attacking and defending.
To sum up, even though it is highly recommended that children should be taught to 
be competitive and always 
be 
pushing for their goals, teamwork and co-operation 
should not be ignored and are also a high demand needed for future success.
