IELTS TASK 2 - PLEASE HELP ME?

IELTS Task 2: some people think that children should learn to compete, but others think that they should be taugh to cooperation with others. What is your opinion?

Children education has been a subject of great debate in recent years. Whereas people believe children should be motivated ti compete, others assert the important of cooperstion. In my opinion, both these methods should be included in learning program.

To begin with, either at school or society, cooperation is essential. First, work together help children to acquire social skills namely: communicateing and teamwork skill. Children will know how to listen others ideals, defend their own ideal and convice their teamates. In the future, they can work in organization such as a company or a laboratory, where teamwork is prerequisite for all staffes and this means that these skill set are vital to their self-develop. Second, by the assistance of each others, youngsters have more ideals, work pressure will be reduced and thus raisd productivity. Futhermore, thanks to others feedback and comments, children are likely to know more about their streghts and weaknesses.

On the one hand, competion also need to encourage in lesson plan. Working independently would improve children to do almost everything by themselves with little support from others. For example, youngsters have great initiative in collecting data, preparing for calss presentation and writing reports on their own. In this way, the children are more likely to be well-prepared for life, their confidence in individual task can be increased. By contrast, if school program just attach special importance in teamwork, negative traits as laziness and dependence may be encouraged. This means that competion give people a strong sense of motivation to learn: they work not for team but for their own recognition and try their best for their sake.

To sum up, competition and cooperation are equally important and necessary for children to become useful adults. the reason is that rivalry would motivate student to try hard, and at the same time working in a team would prevent them from overlooking others’ needs. To my way of thinking, students should combine two methods.
