摘要：6月4日雅思大作文考得是一篇關于教育類話題的作文：Many students are taught to push themselves and try hard to be better than their classmates, rather than work together for everyone’s benefits. Do the disadvantages of training students to be competitive outweigh the advantages?來看本文的范文！

6月4日雅思大作文考題中的兩個對立觀點是：學校應該培養學生什么?是讓他們努力做得優秀，還是讓他們學會合作共贏?這個作文題目是典型的新瓶裝舊酒。以往見得多的提問方式是：學生到底該學競爭，還是合作?

那么，怎樣解題?首先，該雙邊討論還是選擇一方?如果雙邊討論，就要分別談追求優秀和學會合作各自的好處和壞處，然后在最后一段表達自己的觀點。如果你認為合作共贏比個體優秀更重要，那么你就得具體給出并分析2-3個理由。我們認為，選擇雙邊討論可能更合理，畢竟在教育中，這兩種素質都很重要，同時也都有缺陷，兩者需要互補。而且，這樣寫絕對不缺思想。比如，努力做到比別人優秀，就能給孩子們以學習動力，讓他們學到更多的東西;但如果一味只求優秀，孩子們就會漸漸忘記要相互幫助。同時，孩子們學會合作共贏，就能在解決復雜問題時群策群力，解決一些個體無法解決的問題，但是過分強調合作共贏，會導致孩子們只學與自己相關的內容，從而失去對世界的整體把握。

一般來說，在“Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages"這類作文中，均需要討論雙方觀點的利弊，然后給出自己的觀點。

Task：

Many students are taught to push themselves to try and be better than other students, rather than work together for everyone's benefits. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

很多學生被教育要努力學習，要超過其他同學，而不是一起學習，共同受益。這種訓練學生變得有好勝心的方式是否缺點大于優點?

Sample answer：

Trying best to excel other students or learning to work together with others? There is always some argument around this question. I think both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Needless to say, becoming better than others often gives students strong motivations to study hard so that they can become better and better themselves. For instance, if a student is good at maths but not so good at chemistry, he will try his utmost to catch up with chemistry, then he will become excellent at both maths and chemistry. However, while pursuing excellence is a good thing, it may also be harmful to the development of students. Often, in order to win over others, many students may choose not to help their peer classmates. Consequently, those best students are often the most isolated ones. Without enough communication with other students, these top students do not know how to get along with people around them and so when they go into job market where more cooperation is needed, they are often at a loss what to do.

Working with others for mutual benefits is an important quality for students to possess, especially when they are dealing with some complicated problems. Just like in a basketball game, the team whose members are not the best individually but know how to work together often defeats the team which has the best players but they just play for themselves. This said, we cannot deny that overemphasizing the importance of cooperation can also bring about negative consequences. On a cooperative team, each member only has to do his part of the work without having to learn anything else. This is, of course, very bad for students because at their age, they need to gain a more comprehensive picture of the world.

In my opinion, the desire to become the best and the ability to work with others are both important for students. The motivation to be the top pushes them to learn more and more in school and the skills of working with others prepares them for their future work. Therefore, all schools across the country should encourage their students to compete with their peers and at the same time let them know how to work with others for the benefits of all memebers.
