问题     Competition and cooperation are going along together in modern society. There has been an ongoing argument about which is more essential in children’s education. Some people claim that competition is more important than cooperation. Do you agree or disagree? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue.
    Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
    Yes:
    Competition is ubiquitous. Brutal though it seems to be, it does stimulate our growth. Take the competition among students for example. Not to advance is to go back. Though they have got high marks, they should keep studying hard lest someone else should catch up with them. The sense of competition prompts them to make progress unceasingly.
    In addition, as the hope of our nation, students should be ambitious and progressive. Competition is a way of life in the modern world. One of the goals of education is to teach students how to adapt to the fierce competitive environment.
    No:
    Cooperation is an approach to getting ahead, as individual power is limited. Can one person build up the Great Wall? Obviously the answer is no. Nowadays, because of the division of labor in society, no one can fulfill a task by himself.
    Modern pedagogy also puts emphasis on fostering children’s teamwork spirit. Let us take computer-supported cooperative work as an instance. The groupware is a type of software designed for groups. Students are encouraged to accomplish systematically ordered instruction tasks by teamwork. While working together, they can perceive their own weaknesses and others’ merits as well, which is vital for them to go forward.

答案 Is Competition More Important than Cooperation in Children’s Education? Nowadays, the world is developing at a high speed. Therefore, everyone, especially children, needs to learn how to survive in this fast-changing society. The problem is which one is more important, competition or cooperation? Some argue that the sense of competition is more useful, for children will live in a competitive environment when they grow up, while others hold that cooperation is the approach to getting ahead. In my opinion, competition is of great importance and one will definitely benefit from it. Among the countless factors which have an effect on my thinking, there is a most conspicuous one: the survival of the strongest principle. In light of Darwin’s evolutionism, no matter in the animal kingdom or the human society, only the strongest and fittest one can survive. Stress from the modern society and families impels children to be involved in the cruel competition. For example, since finding a good job has become more difficult than before, a job applicant must weigh up the competition from others, and show his or her merits to interviewers. Thus, what kind of job he or she will get depends on whether he or she can compete with the rivals or not. The further reason why I advocate competition is that children often make great progress in competition. As we all know, no one can win everything. Students will know how to face success and failure after having participated in competitive activities. The experience gained from competition, whether they won or lost, will benefit them eventually. All in all, it is reasonable to believe that the competitive capacity is crucial to the development of young people and our society. Therefore, competition plays a more important role in education.

解析     本题讨论的是在儿童教育方面,培养竞争能力是否比培养合作能力更重要。正方观点认为当今社会是竞争的社会,培养孩子的竞争意识有利于孩子在未来的职业道路上取得成功。反方观点认为当代社会分工越来越细化,很少有人能仅凭一己之力完成工作,因此团队合作在当今社会更为重要。在具体行文方面,考生要先概述正反方的观点,然后给出自己的观点并进行论述,最后总结全文。
    开头部分开篇介绍背景并引入话题。接着概述正反方的观点,支持者认为竞争意识更有用处,因为孩子们长大后会生活在竞争的环境中;反对者则认为合作才是获得成功的必由之路。接着通过 “In my opinion…”提出自己的观点:竞争极为重要,人们必将从中获益。
    中间部分论证自己的观点,主要分为两大原因:第一,强者生存是亘古不变的法则,来自现代社会和家庭的压力驱使孩子们卷入残酷的竞争中;第二,竞争意识的培养有利于孩子们正确认识竞争中的成败。
    结尾部分通过“All in all…”总结全文,提出竞争力是年轻人和社会发展的关键,因此竞争在教育中扮演着更重要的角色。
