Some people think 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 argue that the young should compete with each other, while other people suppose that co-operation makes the young better adults. Both views will be discussed, and I opine the former view is more convincing. On the one hand, co-operation would be important.
First
of all, it allows the young to make better things. If some difficult tasks are given to them, they can not only solve them but
also
supplement their own shortcoming through teamwork
such
as collective intelligence. In the
second
place, the more competitive spirit is overheated the more poul youngsters do. As it causes that they concentrate not on the accomplishment of tasks but just win the competition, the essence of tasks is faded and only poul remain.
Hence
, teaching children competitive equates to teaching them poul.
On the other hand
, rivalry brings many advantages. The
first
merit is that rivalry is the biggest motivation for advance. It causes a competitive spirit, and it
also
results in advance. When youngsters compete, they try to win. Youngsters who fall behind in the competition find and learn how to recover and accept falls, what is their shortcoming.
secondly
, it is unavoidable, since being an instinct of humans. There is the ' Red Queen hypothesis ', which means that when one species evolves, the other species and the surrounding environment
also
evolve, so if some things do not lag behind, they have to develop constantly. In conclusion,
although
co-operate is important, competition can bring better things.
Thus
, children should be educated to compete.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

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

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
