参考范文: Competition and Cooperation
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games; we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, customers, money, and so forth1. We can say, to some extent, competition is one of the motive2 forces of the development of society.
We can also find competition and same time. Take a baseball game for example. One team is competing against the other. All the players want to try their best to defeat their opponents and win the game, but the single-handed effort of one player is limited and each member of the team has to cooperate with his or her teammates. In most cases, we cannot win in the competition without cooperation. Thus competition and cooperation are equally important. While we are advocating competition, we cannot forget cooperation. Pure and exclusive3 competion leads to conflicts and failures. Only cooperation in competition can goals and satisfy our needs.
