There are two opposite opinions about competition. Some people think little of it, believing it will do harm to the relationship between people. Besides, some people don¡¯t want to try hard to succeed so that they can find an excuse of their failure. From my point of view, we should try to encourage students to have the sense of competition because there exists great competition in our modern world. Having the sense of it will certainly be important for students to develop after they leave school. However, we should guide our students to have a correct sense of it, getting them to know that they only have opponents but not enemies. We should also teach our students not to be afraid of failure because everyone may meet it more or less. Instead, try to face to and overcome it.
