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 views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays,
purpose
Suggestion
the purpose
of education being changed in Korea. There are some people who think that
competition
in children should be made,
also
others believe that children who are taught to
co-operate
work together on a common enterprise of project
cooperate
as well as become more useful adults. There are advantages and disadvantages for both of the arguments.
To begin
with, what is good if a sense of
competition
in children is made? They could
develope
make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation
develop
themselves more and more as they learn and
study
a lot to win from the
competition
. To prove
this
, in Korea, it is popular - even common now- to have a tutor who
come
Suggestion
comes
to
student's house
Suggestion
the student's house
to teach extra pieces of
study
with paying a lot of money. They learn faster what they learn at school.
Furthermore
, during the vacations, students
study
abroad to learn English for a month
instead
of
revise
Suggestion
revising
school work. If they have experiments
such
as
study
abroad, it is one of the greatest plus
point
Suggestion
points
to go to the famous well-known
highschool
Suggestion
high school
.
Moreover
, there are four big school exam and two national examinations to test
students' level
Suggestion
the students' level
of studies. Generally, only the highest 40% can go to
the good
Suggestion
the best
quality
highschools
Suggestion
high schools
and colleges. Children learn as much as they, can to win the
competition
to obtain good quality schools.
On the other hand
, as they are busy to enter the schools and
study
individually with their own tutors, there are problems. They become selfish. They become careless and don't help others
alot
give out
allot
if it is about studies. There will be no co-operations for them.
Then
, why are there companies for many people
to work
Suggestion
work
in? Each of them are clever,
however
, there are weak parts and strong parts of each person. To co-operate is to improve
this
part. People talk and listen to what others thinking of and learn. That could
also
be a great opportunity to learn
instead
of learning
alone
with a forward motion
along
with one teacher. In conclusion, I strongly agree with that children should be taught to
co-operate
work together on a common enterprise of project
cooperate
rather than compete. Nobody is perfect. People learn together, work together to develop each other.
Therefore
, I want parents and teachers to educate children concentrating on co-operation, not compete and ranking them.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.
