Competition and cooperation is a timeless topic in our society. Nowadays, many social elites attribute their success to a strong sense of competition. However, the statement suggests that a sense of cooperation is more important when training young people for leadership.(when省略主语和系动词的用法需要主语明确的时候使用吧?也就是说这里你省略的主语在这句话前面有重复的,但是我找了一下没翻译通) In response to this issue, we have to analyze proposition comprehensively and systematically.
We have to admit that competition spirit is indispensable in the character of a leader. Leaders are pioneers of our society as well as ordinary individuals, which requires that they should be distinctive and extraordinary. By competition, they continuously improve themselves at a rate of exceeding their competitors. Day after day, they keep asking themselves questions. Are my competitors better than I am(是I am?么)? What's my advantage? How can I make full use of it? What's my deficiency? How can I improve myself? What can I learn from my competitors? Such thoughts urge them to re-evaluate and to improve. Just think about an election in our childhood. At that time, each class would elect one student as a monitor responsible for the tutorship of study. In order to take that position, candidates worked extremely hard to convince us that he or she was the best academically(her performance was the best. 是否可以?
). Competition is kind of pressure, which arouses ambition for knowledge and development. When watching a basketball game, we usually find the leader of a team is someone who is something unusual in some aspects---perhaps advanced technique or well-developed sense of organization, etc. All mentioned above illustrate the point that competition is an essential driving force of each individual to pursue excellence.
写的挺好的,没什么太多可以改的。除了选班长的那个例子,可以考虑换一下,换成大选校园的竞选,尽量贴近美国生活。
Despite the merits, however, competition also has its negative side. When competitors place too much emphasis on the result, terrible situation may occur. Cheating is the most common method when they try to defeat other competitors. Commercial fraud and doping cases in Olympic Games are two typical examples. Such employment of negative campaigning can only lead to a harmful, downward social trend. Thus, it is crucial for leaders to understand that process is more important than result.(例子举得挺好的,但是我觉得和过程和结果联系起来就不太好了。是否可以从过度竞争的危害来考虑呢?)
Not only competition is important(呵呵,要倒装地not only is….), cooperation is also necessary. As a leader, the desire to compete with others is a common impetus to success, but the ability to cooperating with each other is the determinant factor measuring how far the leader will go. We all know the predominance of colony in ecology. (你是说生态平衡?) Likewise, a good sense of cooperation will motivate individuals to organize into a group and form a stronger competitive force. The success of New Oriental School (mainly focus on English training in China) is such a model.(最好不要谈老俞,ets可是恨他恨得咬牙切齿,呵呵)Yu Minhong, CEO of this school, is actually not so good at English. However, with successful cooperation with his partner, N.W. School has become one of the most famous brands in China. Teachers of N.W. School said that Yu is a wonderful leader in that he has a special charismatic inspiration, which motivates all the staff and attracts more excellent teachers to join his team. Therefore, we can conclude that leaders are responsible to create a cooperative environment in which effectiveness of the team reaches its highest. Otherwise, the path to the goal will be bumpy.(这句话用的好)
Besides competition and cooperation, there are also some qualities associated with leadership. They include: the sense of creation, charismatic inspiration, the clear sense of mission, optimism, etc. These qualities also play significant roles in the success of leaders.
Without the sense of competition, leader will become aimless and complacent. Without the sense of cooperation, goals can not be perfectly achieved. Thus, while the modern society is highly-competitive, the sense of cooperation is equally important for leaders. The sense of competition drives them forward as an individual while the sense of cooperation endows them with enjoyment(benefits怎么样?)
of teamwork.
考试能写成这样应该会有个不错的分数。呵呵,加油! |
