Children are taught to push themselves to try and be better than their classmates, rather than work together for everyone’s profit. Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages? 我們應該教育孩子們努力超越其他同學,而非一起努力,是否同意利大于弊? (2016年6月4日)

【寫作立場】
盡管我不想否認競爭對于一個孩子成長的重要意義,我認為培養(yǎng)孩子的合作精神和競爭意識對于他們的學術(shù)追求、事業(yè)發(fā)展、幸福人生會產(chǎn)生更加積極的影響。
【思路拓展】
v 為何合作對于孩子們的成長更加重要:
① 無論是在學術(shù)追求還是攀登事業(yè)階梯中,教育的理念應該是所有的孩子們都應該被鼓勵去學習競爭、出類拔萃。競爭是開發(fā)一個人無限潛能,增進一個人自信的強大的驅(qū)動力。例如,很多孩子正是通過文體活動的競爭,培養(yǎng)了自己獨有的才華,擁有了未來的美麗人生。
② 在一個人的成長中,競爭無所不在,壓力也無處不存。 一個人要想有所作為,就要適應競爭,在逆境中成長,在人生無數(shù)次的競爭中學習“適者生存”。
v 為何競爭對于孩子們的成長更加重要:
① 個人的才華和能力有限,無論在學術(shù)追求還是事業(yè)發(fā)展中,沒有完美的個人,只有完美的團隊。孩子們只有從小學習合作,才能借勢用力,做事事半功倍。例如,很多國家要求學生們完成小組作業(yè),是為培養(yǎng)孩子們的在團隊中奉獻、分享、讓步、團結(jié),這些優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì),會在未來對于他們的事業(yè)和生活產(chǎn)生積極的影響。
② 合作是幫助孩子們拓寬交友圈的重要方式之一,一個不習慣于合作的孩子,通常會孤獨、自閉、在社交方面力不從心。相反,一個愿意分享和合作的孩子,性格方面,往往更有胸懷,積極樂觀。

3. Indeed, some people argue that education concept should be based on the belief that all children should be urged to compete to stand out in a crowd both in academic performance and climbing career ladders. 的確,有人認為,無論是在學術(shù)追求還是攀登事業(yè)階梯中,教育的理念應該是所有的孩子們都應該被鼓勵去競爭以出類拔萃。

7. Learn to cooperate is one of the most effective ways to enlarge a child’s circle of friends.

Therefore,it usually leads to win-win situation. 另外,合作是一個社會成功的因素,相反,競爭通常導致的是“你贏我輸”的結(jié)果,合作提倡的是一加一大于二,三或者更大的數(shù)字。因此,合作通常帶來互利共贏的局面。
