Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate become useful adults. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. TEXT: Education has been viewed as one of the most essential elements of individual and social development. One topic now under heated discussion is that if competition or cooperation should be encouraged among children. Essentially, having a sense of competition for children is a necessity for it can promote their social adaptability. Also, it is believed that nobody would like to fall behind with others so that children will be given motivation to study harder and they will be more independent as well. However, there are some disadvantages about the competition in children. Science they are too young, strong sense of competition would make them going astray. They will be selfish instead of native. Indeed, they will learn how to do ever thing for serving their purposes prematurely. In contrast, a sense of cooperation, admittedly, is what the job market expects from the workers. A man can hardly finish a huge project like scientific research. It needs team work. But we can not be certain about if every child can be beneficial through cooperation. Some children will feel unmotivated about team work science thy believe others will finish it well so that they need do nothing about it, Thus, a sense of competition or cooperation should be encouraged or not is a frequent topic of discussion. As for my opinion, I do not think a sense of competition or cooperation should be encouraged one-sided, they are supposed to be combined. Not only should children learn how to think independently and solve a problem by themselves, but also value the power of the team and get along well with others. Only in this way can children become well-rounded and outstanding. (279) 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/7986cfdd6f1aff00bed51e9f.html
