　　【写作立场】
　　尽管我不想否认竞争对于一个孩子成长的重要意义，我认为培养孩子的合作精神和竞争意识对于他们的学术追求、事业发展、幸福人生会产生更加积极的影响。
　　【思路拓展】
　　v 为何合作对于孩子们的成长更加重要：
　　① 无论是在学术追求还是攀登事业阶梯中，教育的理念应该是所有的孩子们都应该被鼓励去学习竞争、出类拔萃。竞争是开发一个人无限潜能，增进一个人自信的强大的驱动力。例如，很多孩子正是通过文体活动的竞争，培养了自己独有的才华，拥有了未来的美丽人生。
　　② 在一个人的成长中，竞争无所不在，压力也无处不存。 一个人要想有所作为，就要适应竞争，在逆境中成长，在人生无数次的竞争中学习“适者生存”。
　　v 为何竞争对于孩子们的成长更加重要：
　　① 个人的才华和能力有限，无论在学术追求还是事业发展中，没有完美的个人，只有完美的团队。孩子们只有从小学习合作，才能借势用力，做事事半功倍。例如，很多国家要求学生们完成小组作业，是为培养孩子们的在团队中奉献、分享、让步、团结，这些优秀的品质，会在未来对于他们的事业和生活产生积极的影响。
　　② 合作是帮助孩子们拓宽交友圈的重要方式之一，一个不习惯于合作的孩子，通常会孤独、自闭、在社交方面力不从心。相反，一个愿意分享和合作的孩子，性格方面，往往更有胸怀，积极乐观。
