There is an argument over whether
competition among friends has a negative influence on friendship. Some might
argue that cooperation has a positive
(competition has a negative) effect to (on) friendship.
My view (My
point of view), however, is that competition does not give bad effect on
friendship, on the contrary that (but rather) gives friends (a)
good influence. This is largely because competition is good way to
improve their ability. Moreover, when friends
finish competition among them, they will be (as
people go through competition, they become) more intimate (to) each other.
To begin with, one way to improve oneself is (through) competition.
In the case of a person try(ing) to develop his
ability, the person should be get (a) rival. His friend
can be (a) rival, because his friend has (the) same age and knows each other.
When rival exist(s), the person can be
motivated. That is why competition does not have negative influence on
friendship. (You need to have a stronger supporting
detail. Just saying so is less convincing.) According to a study
conducted by a team of researchers at Harvard University, more than two-thirds
of the surveyed participants who attend high school improve(d) their grades when they have competition among
friends. Based on (the) study, it seems clear
that competition enhance(s) people’s capacity
In addition, friendship can be stronger
than when the friends does not compete each other. Commonly
most of the people who has (have) rival(s are) interest(ed) in his rival. When friends regard their friends
as rival(s), they can interest their friends
more frequently. For example, one of my friends who want(ed) to learn how to play basketball considered me as (his) rival. First time
(Once,) he called me to play basketball. His ability of basketball (skill)
was not as good as my ability (mine). Two months later, however, when I played with
him, I could not defeat him. I asked to him how your
(his) skills improved. He said that he just think (thought of)
me as (his) rival. When I heard that, I felt something weird which is mixed with angry and funny
(had a strange feeling of mixed anger and fun).
However, (my) friend and I enjoyed basketball
more than before, which made us closer (to) each
other. Therefore, competition is (a) good way to
improve friendship.
