SAMPLE 49
Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be
encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather
than compete become more useful adults.
Many people think that teaching children competition or cooperation is good for
them. While the feeling of competition can be practical in life, I do believe that the
ability to collaborate/cooperate with other people is more essential.
On the one hand, it can be said that competition is a great way to make children
work harder. For instance, if there are classroom activities which elicit
competitiveness among the children, children will be excited and try to
outperform their classmates. The competitive feelings among children may help
them build self-confidence and become independent staffs in the future. These
characteristics will be good for them when they are in competitive situations such
as job interviews. Therefore, it is clear that competition is an important aspect
that children should be prepared for their adult life.
On the other hand, co-operation can be a crucial element children need to be
equipped for their working life. When going to work, they are expected to work in
teams and know how to support other members. In addition, teamwork spirit is
much more useful than the competitive feeling because it obviously helps children
gain more skills and knowledge instead of being winners or losers.
In conclusion, it is beneficial for children if they are taught to be competitive;
however, I do think that co-operation skill is much more useful for them in adult
life.
