competitiveness prepares them for life in the real world.

compete with other students for a place in university.

everything.

ignores other important traits like compassion and
generosity. (84 words)

Body 2:

believe that instilling a sense of cooperation in
children will prove to be more beneficial for society as
a whole.

both often required.

all parts work together and complement each other.

most important thing will be more willing to work together
towards achieving their goals. (96 words)

Closing Essay:
Reparaphrse TST : Based on the above discussion, there is a
