Write about the following topic: 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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Competition and
cooperation
are so crucial among children. When we force them to do something we should learn them both being collaborators and a rival. According to adults imposing one of them on our heirs is obliged, while some people advocate that teaching competition to kids is more important, while others are of the opinion that
cooperation

cooperation
should outweigh.
First
of all, being a rival is taught especially at sport competitions
such
as swimming or tennis clubs.

emotion is imposed so that little athletes can assimilate it and will be more competitive in the future. We can see beneficial results in Rafael Nadal's life. According to his words, if his trainer who is

On the other hand
, collaborative attitudes are a key aspect of kids lives. They should learn to work with their peers so that they will an opportunity to gain new viewpoints. Our opinions were created when we were children. What we have learned from the environment influence our prejudices, thoughts and lifestyles when we become adults.
Therefore

competition. To sum up, collaboration and contest are two crucial aspects of the life of a kid. While adults are teaching these senses they must remember that what they've learned will affect their entire nature. For

reason, I advocate the idea that being collaborative is more important since when they become older they may have common sense, a tendency to empathy with others or interact with humans more easily.
