　　Competition

　　Just as animals' competing for survival makes them stronger, competition is very necessary for the advancement of human society. Without competition, man would become lazy and nobody would take any responsibi1ity.

　　正如动物为了生存而竞争使得它们更加强壮，竞争对人类社会的进步是非常必要的。没有竞争，人类将会变得懒惰，不愿意承担责任。

　　In the first place, competition can make people hardworking and creative. In the past, China's productivity was very low because of the so-called planned economy. That system makes no competition at all. So neither farmers nor workers worked hard. However, when Deng Xiaoping put forward the marketing economy which requires fiercer competition, China began to become prosperous and strong in economy. In the second place, competition also can stimulate people to try their best to do things. For example, in 100-meter race, each sportsman runs as quickly as possible, trying to become the champion. The same things happen in our society and in our daily life.

　　首先，竞争可以使人们努力工作和富有创造力。在过去，因为所谓的计划经济，中国的生产力非常低。该体制内完全没有竞争。因此，农民和工人都不努力工作。然而，当邓小平提出了市场经济，这要求激烈的竞争，中国的经济开始变得繁荣和强盛。第二，竞争也可以激发人们尽全力去做事情。例如，在100米赛跑中，每个运动员都尽可能跑得快，都试图成为冠军。同样的事情也发生在我们的社会和日常生活中。

　　Being a student, I must compete with other students in our studies. Therefore, I study hard in all the fields so as to be a useful man when I enter the society after graduation.(174 words)

　　作为一名学生，我必须在学习上和其他同学竞争。因此，在各方面我都要努力学习，从而在毕业后走进社会成为一个有用的人。
