Near my house, there lives a woman who is the same age with my mother. She has a daughter, we are at the same age, the coincidence is that we go to the same school. The woman always comes to my house, she likes to compare her daughter with me. I really hate being compared, I just want to live my own life.
在我家隔壁，住着一位和我妈妈年纪相仿的妇女。她有一个女儿，我们处在相同的年纪，碰巧的是，我们上同一所学校。这个女人总是来我家做客，她喜欢拿她的女儿和我做比较。我真的不喜欢被比较，我只想要过自己的生活.


合作还是竞争 Cooperation or Competition

In nowadays, it is quite common that we compete with each other for various competitions. However, it is also essential for people to cooperate with each other for we are members of society. When confront with cooperation and competition, people seems to have a difficult time in choosing them. Some people tend to compete with each other for they believe they can win rewards by defeating others. Some hold that we should cooperate with each other. Some think that we should not only cooperate with others but we should compete with others as well. In my opinion, I think that competing is more important for us. Reasons are listed below.

现在，我们经常会跟其他人比赛。但是，与他人合作也是很重要的，因为我们都是社会中的一员。当面对合作和竞争的时候，人们很难抉择。一些人认为我们能够通过竞争打败别人来获奖。一些人认为我们应该跟他人合作。一些人认为我们不仅要跟他人合作，也要跟别人竞争。就我看来，我认为竞争会更重要一些。原因如下：

First of all, competing is more important than cooperation in our society. In school, we compete with others by doing better in our study. When we are looking for jobs, we compete with others applying for the same position. When we go to a competition, we fight with others for rewards or fame.

第一，竞争在社会中会比合作更重要。在学校里，我们通过在学业上做的比别人出色来与他人竞争。当我们找工作的时候，我们会与那些申请同一职位的人竞争。当我们参与某项竞赛的时候，我们会与他人争名誉。

Secondly, we can be stronger by competing. If we want to win others, then we have to be stronger than others. Thus, we have to improve ourselves constantly. Consequently, our skills will be enhanced and we will get more experience to avoid failure.

第二，通过竞争，我们能变得更强。如果我们要赢得他人，那么我们必须比别人更强。为此，我们必须持续不断地提高我们自己。我们会因此提高我们的自身技能，而且也能得到更多避免失败的经验。

In conclusion, competition plays an important role in our society as well as we can become stronger.

总之，竞争在社会中扮演着重要的角色，我们可以通过竞争变得更强。
