Portfolio Task 4


Competition

Teaching children using correct ways is very important for their future life. Some parents and teachers think that it is more important to show kids how to fight for their place in life. Another opinion is that the most important skill is to be able to work together with other people. I will discuss these two opinions.

Competition makes people work harder to reach their goals. If there is a limited number of places in university, only the best students will get those places. For example, you can only get into some universities if your GPA score is not less than 3.5 over 4.0. So, competition is a good thing when it is used for good reasons.

Cooperating is necessary for people in some situations. When you need to do some complicated job fast, it is important to have a good command of skilled people
who are used to doing that kind of job together. For example, if you have to develop a big software project, you need to have a group of developers with good professional and team skills .Teaching children to be a part of the team will help them to get skills for their future work.

In conclusion, it is very important for children to become team players. It is also important for them to be able to win. So, both of those skills are important in different situations. I think that to be part of the team is more important than competition skills, because you need to work with other people more often than to compete with them, unless you are a professional.
