In this essay,I will discuss whether the education system should encourage cooperative or competitive learning among students.

Some people argue that competition should be stressed in schools. They think that being competitive is human nature and focuses students on the pursuit of their own goals . Students strive to excel at competition in studies,sports or other extracurricular activities such as art contests and debates. This can help them to achieve their academic,athletic and artistic potential. However ,a highly competitive learning environment may cause mistrust and unhealthy competition among students. For example ,academic competition may lead to long hours of cramming ,cheating or even a nervous breakdown as the competition makes students feel that they are not in control of their own lives.

Others are in favour of building a cooperative environment at schools. They believe that cooperation develops goodwill and a sense of community and belonging among students. This helps them to discover their common goals and appreciate the value of these goals. A cooperative environment also encourages students to exchange information and ideas freely. In such an environment ,students tend to participate fully in group activities,such as group presentations and team sports. These activities require students to work as a team towards common goals. As a result,students who are educated in a cooperative environment are more likely to become contributing members of their community and society .

I personally believe although competition may lead to higher students' achievement,cooperation should always remain at the core of education because it helps schools to produce open-minded and responsible individuals .

■译文

在本文里,我将探讨教育制度究竟应该鼓励学生间的合作还是竞争的问题。

有些人认为在学校里应该强调竞争。他们认为竞争是人类的天性,而且可以让学生们专注于对自己目标的追求。为了在学习、体育等竞争或其他诸如艺术比赛与辩论赛等当中脱颖而出,学生们会付出很大的努力。这使得他们充分发掘自身在学习、运动和艺术上的潜力。 然而 ,竞争压力过大的环境会在学生们之间导致缺乏信任与恶性竞争。例如,学习竞争可能会让学生感觉他们无法掌控自己的生活,从而导致考试前持续突击、作弊行为甚至精神崩溃。

另一些人认为学校应该培养合作环境。他们认为合作能够培养友好的态度、社区感与归属感,从而帮助学生们去发现共同的目标,并且充分地认可这些目标的价值。 而且 合作的环境也鼓励学生自由地交换信息和看法。在这种环境下,学生能更充分地参与到各种小组活动中,例如小组演示和团队运动等。这些活动要求学生作为团队向着共同的目标努力,因此在合作环境中成长的学生们将来更有可能成为对他们的社区与社会做出贡献的成员。

虽然竞争也许能带来更高的学习成就,我个人认为合作总是应该处在教育的核心位置,因为它帮助学校培养思想开明而且有责任感的个人。 rPxhlP93Ncnzc9MHBxcsD9aaVyxdxpOWFTM8X63NWVHEiuW2jBMRL7Np+CHiUxVL
