Portfolio Task 4 - Competing and Cooperating

              People all over the world study in different schools which have different ways of teaching. In this essay I am going to compare about two ways which are competing and cooperating and give my opinion.
                First of all, using competition between the students is good because in every competition there is a prize and that will make the students do their best to win the prize. For example some schools give certificates to the winner. Moreover, it makes you feel good and proud about yourself, and sometimes it motivates you to win. If you lose in front of your friends, sometimes it just makes you feel like a loser which will make some students think about it personally.
                Rather than competing some schools prefer to make students cooperate with each other which have advantages and disadvantages. First, it will help the students to share the work which will help a lot because there will be more ideas and the quality of the work will be better and it will help the students to learn from each other such as when they study together for their exam. This leads us to two disadvantages which are copying a lot and some students will prefer to give all the work to other students.
                In conclusion, I would say that I prefer both ways because in competition students will learn how to win by themselves and in cooperating they will learn how to share the work which will prepare them for workplace.
