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. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Many parents think that it is better to encourage children to have a habit of fighting, but

might make children become more useful in the future. In spite of the dilemma, these

have some advantages and disadvantages.

for example

On the other hand

In other words

, children may have less opportunities in career than the others because of the sense of race. Learning is not only the one-way progress of teachers and students, it is a progress of making connection between people, it is a kind of social activity as well.

Moreover

, children may learn new things from their friends as well. Vietnamese ancient people used to state that we cannot break a group of chopsticks but every single one of those. To sum up,

opinion of having a sense of fighting might encourage children to be successful, but

them feel isolated.

In contrast

, learning to co-operate will help children be more confident. In my opinion, we could reduce the risks by educating children work together and equipping them a sense of self-competition.
