团队合作的重要性英语作文【经典20篇】

Modern society is a society full of competition, also called for cooperation society, deal with the relationship between competition and cooperation can be based on the society. Competition is the purpose of cooperation, cooperation is the foundation of the competition.

Consciousness is our cooperation to become so big, we only rely on the collective strength, reached the pinnacle of his success. Make oneself have the power of competition, and the final victory.

As we are in grade 3, examination of important tasks in front of us is, weve been there is competition and cooperation between classmates, if we ourselves have no confidence, so we cant compete with other opponents on the learning, strive for the ideal result, so we are learning on hand will be so far, our study is not only just want to have the ideal result, and in order to succeed, dont want to communicate with other students in the study, they dont want to tell their own knowledge, it can be stated is dont want to cooperation with each other, is to be a coward, a person who dont want to cooperate with others, even if now the outstanding achievements, in the end after cant so excellent achievements, because of the cooperation in the society is a social state, no one can master all the knowledge.

Competition and cooperation are inseparable from each other, if there is no competition, cooperation will only make both sides, both sides co-operation not competition, society will not move forward.

Competition and cooperation is a part of, only common development, we human beings are really development and progress.

现代社会是一个充满竞争的社会，同样也是呼吁合作的社会，处理好竞争与合作的关系才可以在社会上立足。竞争是合作的目的，合作是竞争的基础。

正是我们的合作意识使自己变的如此高大，我们只有依靠集体的力量，登上成功的顶峰。使自己有了竞争的实力，并最终胜利下去。

作为初三的我们，摆在我们面前的重要任务是中考，我们同学之间一直存在着竞争与合作，如果我们自己都没有信心，那么我们在学习上就不敢与其他对手对抗竞争，争取理想的成绩，那么我们就是学习上的手将败将，我们的学习不在于单单只想有理想的成绩，而且为了成功，不想在学习上与其他同学交流，不想告诉自己所掌握的知识，那可以摆明是不想互相合作，也是做人的懦夫，一个不想与他人合作的人，就算现在取得优秀的成绩，到头来以后就不能取得这么优秀的成绩了，因为在这个社会中合作是社会的立存，任何一个人都不能掌握所有的知识。

竞争与合作是彼此之间不能分离的，如果没有合作的竞争，只会弄的两方都两败俱伤，合作不竞争，社会就不会向前发展。

竞争与合作是相随相生的，只有共同发展，我们人类才会有所真的发展与进步。

Thus, my dear friends, do not fear competition. Accept it and enjoy it. With competition, you grow stronger, and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of, regardless of what the outcome would be. Without competition, you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.

Competition is a common phenomenon in our society . We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. Therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of our modern society.

It is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately, no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going smoothly. In reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Lets take a football game for example. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be. It is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.

As far as Im concerned, I do not agree with the view that competition and cooperation are always in conflict with each other. In my opinion, while advocating competition, we should never forget cooperation. In our social life, cooperation is especially necessary because most work is fulfilled with or through other people. So Ive come to the conclusion that competition are equally important.

"Experience is the best teacher," people say. Indeed, the most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations.

For my part, you cant learn everything from a book. And only practice makes you a successful person.

To begin with, first-hand experience is important for a child. When we were children, we learned the fundamental lessons of life solely from experience.

That is to say, parents teach us by experience such as how to walk steadily, how to cope with the adults, and so on and so forth. Secondly, first-hand experience is also important for an adolescent.

At school, we do not learn everything from books, in that few books can teach us successfully how to meet new people and make more friends.

Finally, as we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no book can teach us how to fall in love and get married. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to live a successful life.

To conclude, knowledge gained both from experience and from books have their respective roles to play in our life.

However, in my view, I think the former one is more important than the latter one.

The most important lessons cant be taught; they have to be experienced.

Today is Arbor Day, five classes of third grade teacher, led down trees in the parks.

Along the way, the students laugh along, happily singing birds in the branches, the flowers are on their happy smile ...... some children happily sang a song.

And finally to the park, the teacher put students into a group of 4 people to plant trees, the result left behind assigned Xiao Ming and red into a group of so they decided: not because fewer people will not put good species, must be the same Do not do as well and then the group began planting the red brought a shovel, cups and buckets, of course, red is not going to let Xiaoming come empty-handed, she said:. "Xiao Ming, this is what I deliberately put shovel bring you, and you have more strength, you come to shovel it! "Xiao Ming nodded, picked up a shovel a shovel a shovel to dig deep earth, dug pit straight waist just do not know when they found that red has been brought tree saplings waiting at his side, so that Xiao Ming planted seedlings Little said:. "Thank you!" dug earth, Xiao Ming put the seedlings carefully into Little said:. "Alice, you hold on to trees, I look at the trees have no crooked. "red very readily agreed. Xiao Ming looked at the positive. Thus, Xiao Ming had promptly buried on the loose soil. Xiao Ming and red sweating, Xianggang like out from the bathroom. Alice and Bob looked at trees, laughed. Before I left, gave the trees watered.

Happy ending after planting, the teacher said: "Students, today you say which group is planting champions?" The students shouted in unison:. "Duo" Alice and Bob looked at each other, could not help but proudly He laughed.

小组讨论形式：组长全面组织组员之间展开学习上的讨论;记录员负责记录小组的决议并编写小组报告;检查员负责保证小组所有成员都能清楚地说出小组得出的结论或答案;纠错员负责纠正小组成员出现的错误;总结报告员负责重述小组的结论和答案;联络员负责联系老师与其他小组。在交流过程中，发言人不仅要说明答案，而且要说明思路和方法，应该注意的问题及从该问题中得出的一些规律等。其他人既要学会聆听，注意做好笔记;又要学会质疑，能够大胆提出自己的见解。

“一帮一”形式：把小组再分成两人小组，认真实施了“一帮一”互助落实形式，努力实现“对对红”的合作方式，真正落实了“没有一个不学习的学生”。这种小组合作学习的形式，弥补了学困生在难题面前尽最大努力，但还不能很快解决问题的不足;也弥补了教师对学生无法一一纠正的不足，因而是提高课堂教学质量有效的方法。

小组长轮换形式：小组长是一个小组的核心。小组学习的成败，往往与小组长有很大关系。不提倡小组长“终身制”。为了让更多的学生尽可能参与到组织工作中来，使更多的学生获得锻炼的机会，选派每个组的每个同学都担任组长。这样做不仅调动学生的积极性，而且满足了学生表现自我的心理需要，真正做到人尽其才，才尽其用。

Currently,self-confidence has become the order of our life, which improves the theorythat nothing is more valuable than self-confidence.

如今，自信已经融入了我们的生活中了，这也就证明了没有什么能够比自信更有价值。

Itis obvious that self-confidence means trust in one’s ability. If we are full ofself-confidence, we’ll have creative power to live and work, helping us successor dreams come true. On the contrary, if we have no confidence in ourselves,there will be little possibilities for us to win. We’ll always face failure.

很明显，自信意味着对一个人能力的信任。如果我们充满自信，我们在生活和工作中就会有创造力，帮助我们成功或者实现我们的梦想。相反，如果我们对自己没有信心，我们取胜的可能性就很小。我们总是要面对失败。

What’smore, no one can deny another fact that self-confidence gives us light when wewalk in the dark and courage when we face stumbling blocks. Withself-confidence, we can achieve goals in our life.

再者，没有人能否认这样一个事实，当我们游走在黑暗时，自信能能给予我们光明，当我们遭遇不顺时，自信能给予我们勇气。有了自信我们可以实现生活中的目标。

[高中英语作文：自信的重要性

As the development of the world, there is more and more entertainment for people to kill time. Reading used to be an important amusement. But now there are less and less people fond of reading. But there are still a large number of people stand on the side of reading. For me, I think reading is very important. The reasons are as following.

First of all, reading can broaden our vision. The main way we learn the things happen long time ago is according to the book. People will try their best to write the things in their stage in their way. When we read books, we have the opportunity to learn everything. The content in the books contains the knowledge all over the world and every aspect. We can read the knowledge about biography, science, technology, culture, economic and so on from the book. It is hard not to broaden vision from reading.

Secondly, reading can cultivate our taste. I am sure that reading some elegant sentence or the beautiful things described in the book will make us feel relax and comfortable. And we all know that the more knowledge a person has, the better-behaved he will be. I think this is the charming of reading. If there are more people like reading, the world will become more civilized.

The importance mentioned above just a part of reading. It has so many advantages that I can’t list all in a short time. It is irreplaceable in human beings’ life.

随着世界的发展，越来越多娱乐供人们消磨时光。阅读在过去常常就是一种重要的娱乐。但现在却越来越少人喜欢阅读了。但仍然还有很多人是喜欢看书的。对我来说，我认为阅读是很重要的。理由如下。

首先，阅读可以开阔我们的视野。我们了解很久以前发生的事情的主要方式是通过阅读。人们用他们自己的方式尽自己最大的努力写关于他们那个年代的事情。我们看书的时候，我们才有机会了解到一切。书中的内容包含知识的方方面面。通过书籍我们可以了解到关于传记，科学，技术，文化，经济等方面的知识。从阅读中，我们的视野很难不被拓宽。

其次，阅读可以陶冶我们的情操。我相信阅读一些优美的句子或者书中描述的美丽东西会使我们感到放松和舒适。我们都知道一个人拥有的知识越多，那个人就会表现得越好。我觉得这就是阅读的魅力。如果有更多的人喜欢阅读，这个世界会变得更加文明。

上面所提到的重要性只是其中一部分。阅读有很多的优点，在短时间内我都不能一一列举我不能列举。它在人类的生活中是不可替代的。

A good book is the essence of human thought. People need to constantly absorbing nutrition from the book, enrich their minds, enhance their own quality, to adapt to The Times of demand is higher and higher. Therefore, we should according to their own requirements in a wide range of Chinese and foreign classics, select and read them.

Read classics, it is an effective way to improve writing ability. The ancients cloud: "read volumes, such as writing god!" This is the irrefutable truth. Psychological depiction of the characters in the classics, vivid portrayal of the scene, things, and control the power of the word, writers for every reader, is a precious wealth, can enjoy many times. Middle school students age is small, the contact time of literature is so short, with only a dozen years of life experience to have a high level of writing its difficulty cans be imagined. And reading the classics is middle school students to obtain the most direct, the most convenient way of writing skills.

Classics is a microcosm of the society. From which we can from different angles to understand the middle school students are not familiar with the diversification of society. Through reading classics, appreciate classics, we can see that the forms of characters, they already exist in the world, and does not exist in the world, they mean or generosity, or good or ugly, sinister or innocent, beautiful or ugly, or ShaFuJiPin or vicious brutality, or believe in the truth or vulgar depravity, or diligence simple or money, or loyalty patriotism or turn traitor for personal gain, or noble is wise or ridiculous, or... Bigotry, the fickleness of the world, all in the classics.

好书是人类思想的精华。人们需要从书中不断地汲取营养,充实自己的头脑,提高自己的素质,以适应这个要求越来越高的时代。因此，我们应从广泛的中外名著中根据自己的需求，选取并阅读它们。

多读名著，是提高写作能力的有效途径。古人云：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神!”这是颠扑不破的真理。名著中对人物心理的刻画，对景物、事物的生动描写，以及作家们驾驭文字的本领，对每一个读者来说，都是一笔无比宝贵、可多次享用的财富。中学生年纪尚小，接触文学的时间太短，仅凭十几年的人生阅历想要有高超的写作水平其难度可想而知。而阅读名著则是中学生获取写作技巧的最直接、最简便的方式。

名著是社会的缩影。从中我们可以从各种不同的角度来了解这个于中学生来说尚不熟悉的多元化社会。通过阅读名著、鉴赏名著，我们可以看到形态各异的人物，他们既存在于世界中，又不存在于世界中，他们或吝啬或慷慨，或善良或丑恶，或天真美丽或阴险丑陋，或杀富济贫或凶狠残暴，或崇尚真理或庸俗堕落，或勤奋朴素或挥金如土，或精忠报国或卖国求荣，或高尚明智或荒诞不经，或……人间百态、世态炎凉，尽在名著中。

一.英语小组合作学习在教学中的回顾。

课程改革在教学中的实践已经六年了。回顾前几年的英语课堂教学中，小组合作学习形式化，缺乏时效性，班里只有三分之二的小组能够按照教师的要求开展活动，有三分之一的小组应付了事，课堂气氛不活跃。学生不敢开口说英语。学生没有通过在小组合作学习中，达到提高语言运用能力的目的。小组合作学习没有达到实效性。随着不断学习新课标理念，不断地教学实践摸索以及我们英语组对英语课堂教学互动模式的课题研究，近两年对小组合作学习的意义和重要性有了较深刻的认识，对以前的小组合作学习存在的问题，也找到了原因：

教师对新课标合作学习的理念没有领会。没有理解小组合作学习的真正意义。

教师对处理教材的各个环节缺乏清晰的认识，不能整体把握教材。

教师对语境的设计缺乏真实性，激趣性。

教师没有细化小组合作学习的规则，缺乏实效性。

教师设计的小组合作活动形式比较单一。不能激起学生小组活动的兴趣，学生没有充分体会到成功的感受。

通过小组合作学习在课堂和课外的教学实践 ，笔者发现小组合作学习要遵循一定的原则，在课内和课外采用多种形式实施小组合作学习，有助于提高学生运用英语的能力。

二.实施小组合作学习的原则

(一)、语境设计具有真实性。

课标倡导任务型教学模式。让学生在教师的指导下，通过感知，体验，实践，参与和合作的方式，实现任务的目标—即达到运用语言的能力。一节课的语境设置要根据教材的内容为主线和所达到的目标为终极目标。设计出与教材有关，又符合学生的实际情况的真实语境，激发学生交际的欲望。使学生在真实的语境中很自然地运用语言。

(二)、语境设计具有激趣性

英语课程的任务是：激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣，使学生树立自信心，养成良好的学习习惯和形成有效的学习策略，发展自主学习的能力和合作精神。因此教师在语言输出环节中，应设计出使学生非常感兴趣的活动。充分调动学生参与活动的积极性，使学生学习气氛高涨起来。使学生在活动中愉快地用英语进行交际。

(三).细化规则具有时效性

1、小组活动不能拘于形式

小组活动的人数的确立应依据教学内容和输出活动的设计，人数可2人，3人，4人等，没有固定模式。不能为活动而活动。应根据活动的具体内容而定。

2、小组成员应有明确的分工

无论是2人，4人还是6等人的小组活动，每个人都有明确的分工，使每个人都能参与英语教学活动

3、小组活动具有可操作性

教师应用简洁的语言明确规定活动的具体任务确保学生能够便于操作，使学生清楚自己干什么，保证合作学习的实效性。

三、小组合作学习的实施过程

(一)课堂小组合作学习形式

在课堂教学中，要充分发挥教师的主导作用和突出学生的主体作用。根据教材内容设计出形式多样的小组合作方式。

1. 图片交流

利用文中的插图或从网上下载与课文有关的图片，设计两人小组谈论图片的活动，直观、形象、生动。在讲十一册17课时，我设计的前两个输出活动就是根据图片，两人小组谈论第三人称和第一人称会和不会哪些运动项目。由于图片直观形象，易于学生交流。

2. 角色表演

教师教完新授课后，给学生一个话题，就这一话题发挥想象，通过创设情景，自编对话，进行角色表演。例如编购物、问路、看病、打电话对话。这些场景符合实际情况，贴近学生生活，学生们都很感兴趣。因此，他们都能积极参与表演，互相配合，承担各种角色。许多原来对英语学习兴趣不大，信心不足的学生都能积极参加角色表演活动并且表现得很好，一定程度上提高了他们学习英语的兴趣。

3、小组调查

教材内容非常丰富，我们可以根据教材的内容，设计调查形式的小组互动，使学生参与活动中，运用语言知识。如十一册的19课设计调查学生小组最喜欢的运动情况的活动，以便为开展校本课程做准备的活动。所设的活动是学生感兴趣的，又贴近他们的日常生活的调查活动。学生参与活动的热情很高涨。

4、话题讨论

试验课改教材是以贴近学生实际的话题为中心。让学生围绕一个话题，用所学的语言知识谈论这个话题，使学生用英语学会做事，提高学生运用英语的能力。在讲十五册17课感叹句时，可设计成让学生4人小组用感叹句互相谈论学英语的感受，每人至少谈论一点并选一名组长在全班汇报，小组之间互相合作，互相学习。既开阔了学生的思维，又培养了合作精神。

5、激趣互动

1)游戏

英语教学中， 根据教材内容， 使用游戏方法，能使课堂变得轻松有趣。 使学生在玩中学。 尤其在初一英语教学阶段，正是激发兴趣时期。可根据教材内容的不同，设计不同的游戏活动。在讲11册Lesson 5 家庭成员关系时， 我设计了不同层次的游戏活动。 我先带着全班做以Bob 为中心， 我指图片任何一个人、两个人， 全班立即说出和Bob的关系; 第二层游戏是让一个学生用汉语说出人物关系，全班学生看屏幕上的图片， 全班说出英文。第三层游戏是让一个学生用英文描述人物关系， 让全班猜Who’s she /he? Who are they?有好几个学生把人物关系描述复杂， 让同学猜。全班学生注意力非常集中， 认真听某个同学描述。 当同学猜出时， 课堂气氛变得日益的活跃。

2)竞赛

这些竞赛有：单词、词组接龙竞赛和对话表演竞赛等等，这些竞赛都是以小组合作的方式进行，竞赛中各小组成员之间具有一定的依赖性。通过进行这样的小组活动，每位组员意识到自己的表现会影响其他组员的成绩，而其他组员的表现也会对自己的成绩产生影响时，会促使他积极参与小组活动。如：教学十一册第15课，Unit 4.Lesson 15 How much are

the potatoes?时，我设计以小组为单位设计新年购物单，包括食品、数量、价格。而且告诉学生班费只有100元。比一比看哪组设计的购物单最好。要求组员至少给本组选一个食品，否则取消这个组的比赛。学生踊跃参加本组的购物单设计，然后由各组组长在黑板写上本组设计的购物单，全班评判，选出最佳购物单。

(二) 课外小组合作学习形式

学生的知识，并不都在课堂中获取;学生的能力也并不都在课堂内培养。所以，课外合作学习也必定是课内合作学习所不可或缺的延伸和补充。

1、 小组朗读，背诵或复述积分

为了调动全班学英语的积极性，培养学生的语感。我采用小组得分评比法。我先把全班按好，中，差 ，分成六人一小组。全班分成五个组。我规定每个单元的4课书和

expnsion，根据每课的内容不同，要求学生两人背诵对话，朗读课文、背诵课文、复述课文。并不是所有的学生家里都有录音机等学习辅助设备，也不是所有的学生都有自觉学习的习惯，所以，就有相当部分学生不能独立完成老师布置的课文的朗读、背诵或复述的作业。合作小组的作用就尤为重要。通过发挥小组中学优生的作用，利用自习课或课余时间，让他们给学习有困难的学生当小老师，帮助学困生解决。两周一评比，而且把评选结果在班里公布。哪个小组都怕在落在别的组的后面，都帮助本组较差的同学。较差的同学也怕拖本组的后腿，也在努力地学习。学习气氛空前高涨。

2、 小组合作共同完成学习档案。

为了提高学生学英语的兴趣，训练学生的写作能力和培养学生想象能力和创新能力，我帮助学生建立学习档案。 我从初一开始每学完一个单元， 要求学生完成与话题相关的短文。虽然采用积分法，但有些个别差的同学还是完不成。因此我根据教材内容的不同，尝试小组合作共同完成学习档案。在第十二册Unit 8 Seasons and Clothes.小组合作共同完成本单元的话题作文。要求每组学生介绍我国或其它国家的5个地区的天气情况。并给出所适合的运动和着装的建议。用A4打印或手抄。并注明每人在本组所做的具体工作。只有全部组员参与本组的话题作文的设计工作，才有资格参与评选。时间是一周。同学们都各尽所能，有的同学设计版面，有的画画，有的写稿，有的改稿，组员都积极参与了本组的共同设计工作。培养了学生的合作意识。想象能力和创新能力，学生参与活动的热情空前高涨。

四、小组合作学习成果展示

教师要给学生提供展示才华的机会，使学生体验成功。我班在去年的颐和园情景教学中，学生分组用英语介绍颐和园的景点中，表现出色，受到学校的好评。在今年购物节情景教学中，我班的小组获得学校第一名。在今年的圣诞节和外教联欢会中，我班表演了

《Can I help you 》小品和合唱英文歌曲《 Jingle Bells 》并带着道具边唱边表演，我班的多数学生参与了圣诞节知识的竞赛中，学生积极主动地参加，当他们得到外教给的糖果和有关圣诞礼物时，非常兴奋。为了提高小组合作学习兴趣和竞争意识，我班举行了英语新年会。每组至少出一个节目，然后进行评比。获得前两名的小组进行奖励。学生们的积极性非常高，在课下积极准备，都想争第一。在元旦联会中，有的小组表演课本剧，有的小组.有的小组出谜语，让其他组猜。还有的组玩单词、词组接龙竞赛。其中表演课本剧《At the restaurant》和演唱《Pretty boy 》这两组分别获一名和第二名。我们年级还举行了合作小组学习档案评比。我班有两组被选上。还有两名同学参加了CCTV 英语希望杯大赛，这两名同学都通过了预赛，并参加了初赛。

实践证明，英语小组合作学习是一种很好的学习方式。英语小组合作学习对学生英语能力的提高，对教师英语教学的促进作用是不容质疑的。在活动中，学生是主角，既可以是参与者，还可以是活动的具体组织者和设计者。教师仅是活动的创设者，只起着对活动的促进和辅导的作用。让学生在活动中自己发现问题，解决问题，积极想象，深入探究，勇于创新[实践，同时教师在活动中激励评价学生，鼓励语言、最终达到自主学习，自我纠错，自我评价的目的，以达到从学会到会学的转变。

路漫漫，其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。我将不断学习新课标理念，不断地实践和反思。本着在学习中反思，在反思中改进的原则，不断提高教学水平。

We are living in a globalized world and the cross—cultural communications are increasing nowadays. In other words，we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out，nobody is an isolated island. If we want to have a bright future，we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore，team spirit is very important. It is an bility that people can understand each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks. We need such kind of ability in particular during the globalization for several reasons.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all，team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example，I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers. So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal：an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are committed and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions. What is more,team spirit is quite useful for personal career.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team. If you work in a company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single—handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals，they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success. So we can say the team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally,team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know, the Chinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers，who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion，team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we are all facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore，we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。

在我们学习和生活中，“合作”一次一次围绕在我们身旁，它像一个顽皮的小孩子，在你们不经意间，与你冥冥捉迷藏。“兄弟齐心，其利断金。”星期四的早上，一次普普通通的实验，让我再一次领悟它的真谛。

这是一个明媚的早上，静谧的阳光普照着大地，鸟儿在枝头唱起一曲欢乐的旋律，一切都是那样鲜明!同学们也都匆匆赶来学校，手里还提着一个小袋子，放好车，又匆匆向教室赶去。也许你会感到惊诧，走进教室，许多同学都在讨论“实验”的话题。噢，今天要做实验!

第一是语文课，也是同学们所期待的实验课。

随着优美的旋律在耳边萦绕，上课时间到了。同学们都陆陆续续回到教室，我也回到座位，等待老师的到来。没等吴老师进教室，同学们就拿出实验材料：漆包线一条、剪刀一把、干电池两节、白纸一张、铁钉一口，透明胶带一卷，订书针。这时，吴老师来了。他先告诉我们这个实验的名称：“电磁铁的制作与实验”，同学们个个都若有所思地点点头。然后，老师便示范一遍实验的过程，看着周边的同学个个都跃跃欲试，摩拳擦掌，我也按捺不住了。这次的实验分小组比赛，既然是比赛，那肯定是有奖有罚。为了比赛能取得更好的成绩，我们这四人小组还精细分工了一番呢!

“实验——开始!”吴老师一声令下，实验比赛就像炸开了锅一样，顿时沸腾起来!我们四个组员也随着实验的开始忙起来。杨洋负责撕透明胶带，并将它粘贴在我将要做的电磁铁上;我负责做电磁铁;杨雪妍负责挂接扣处的漆包线;韦诗婷“舍己救人”负责通电。做电磁铁看似简单，做起来却难啊!要先用白纸包裹好铁钉，但不能太厚，然后交给杨洋用透明胶带固定。接下来的可就难做了，用漆包线慢慢缠绕铁钉，每次的距离要均匀，再分层缠这个可是细活，对于粗心大意的我来说简直是难上加难。每一次缠绕铁钉，不是缠得不均匀，就是缠得太紧。韦诗婷便鼓励我说：“慢慢做，要放松。”我也一直在告诉我自己：“镇定!镇定!”慢慢地我便渐渐冷静下来，漆包线也缠好了。当杨洋固定好电磁铁时，在一旁刮接口处的杨雪妍也完成了工作。接下来就准备通电了。

离成功只差一步了!胜利就近在眼前!正在千钧一发的那刻，邓俊琪那组便大声叫着：“老师，我们做好啦!”他们抢了第一的“宝座”，我们并不气馁，所有的目光聚集到了这里。当电磁铁吸住所有的订书针时，我们大声欢呼：“老师，我们也成功了!”

是呀，“三个臭皮匠，赛过诸葛亮。”与其一个人单枪匹马在战场上拼搏，还不如团体合作，懂得与他人分享，取长补短，才能展现最大的潜能。到时候，你的快乐是双倍的。虽然这次我们才第二名，但是我们却收获了合作的真谛!

随着人们生活水平的提高，运动的地方和时间越来越少，很多人选择了去健身房运动。以下是健身重要性英语作文，欢迎阅读。

competition and cooperation

When it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts; in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.

But some others hold different opinion. They think cooperation is as important as competition. They base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship; on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.

Competition is Fun

Chairman Mao once made a famous remark about competition, “To battle with God is great fun! To battle with Earth is great fun! To battle with people is great fun!” His words, although seeming a bit too aggressive, have illustrated that competition is never regarded as something formidable by a brave.

Competition exists throughout the evolution of nature and everyone’s life. Creatures compete to survive the merciless environment, eliminating weaker ones; Nations in the world compete for resources and power, and whichever fallen behind is beaten. As for individuals, ever since the very first day of our lives, we are forced into a competition with thousands of others around us, including taking examinations, applying jobs and striving for promotion, the results of which definitely determine our fate. Competition is as real a fact as the air around us that can neither be evaded nor be ignored.

Thus, my dear friends, do not fear competition. Accept it and enjoy it. With competition, you grow stronger, and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of, regardless of what the outcome would be. Without competition, you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.

Competition is a common phenomenon in our society . We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. Therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of our modern society.

It is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately, no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going smoothly. In reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Lets take a football game for example. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be. It is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.

As far as Im concerned, I do not agree with the view that competition and cooperation are always in conflict with each other. In my opinion, while advocating competition, we should never forget cooperation. In our social life, cooperation is especially necessary because most work is fulfilled with or through other people. So Ive come to the conclusion that competition are equally important.

[合作英语作文

Women are playing an increasingly important part in society today.In many countries,more and more women are acting as workers,farmers,scientists,and even leaders.We can say that almost all jobs which men can do are done successfully by women.Women are no longer looked down upon by society.

With the changes in their social role,womens position in family has been improved as well.Husband and wife are now equal in the family.They deal with problems of daily life together,and share happiness with each other.In todays families,women are not usually the ones busy with dinners.

In spite of these changes ,the liberation of women has not been completely realized.A number of men are self-centered,who regard women as incapable.Few women are allowed to attend important international meetings dominated by men.Thats really the problem we should solve immediately.

As a correspondent of the Qingdao Morning News, I visited Dr. James Gilman, the President of the International Committee for Marco Polo Studies in England. In this picture, this is James, and this is me and we are looking at a dragon’s tooth. This is a true story.

65 years ago, James lived in Qingdao. Then he was only 5 years old. He often visited the Aquarium and was fascinated by a creature on display there, which he thought was a dragon. He was afraid of its sharp teeth and wanted one to keep as a treasure.

In the late 1930s, when the Japanese occupied Qingdao, his family had to leave. On his last day in Qingdao, he ran to the Aquarium and pulled out one of the teeth from the dragon’s mouth.

He kept the tooth for the next 65 years, but the feeling of guilt at having stolen it was there in the background all through his life. It was always on his conscience, and the feeling intensified as he became older. Finally he decided to put right his childish error. In 2002, he visited Qingdao and returned it to the Aquarium with his sincere apologies. He received a warm welcome.

When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct one’s error.

Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Let’s be honest people of good moral character.

Its Important to Learn English

English is widely used throughout the world. So many people speak it as a second language. n line, youll find lots of information in English. If you dont understand English, how can you know more about the world, how can you get more knowledge. At international conferences, English is also used as the official language. Without good English, you cannot express your ideas well at such conferences, neither can you introduce China to the outside world.

小组合作学习与管理这一方案政策，是从2012年正式开始实行的，到现在为止，已经一年多了，大部分地区的学校，倡导实行同学们积极参与小组合作学习，有利于全体同学的学习，互帮互助，一起学习，促进同学之间、老师之间的交流与沟通，是很有好处的!

小组合作学习可以让同学们学会在有限的时间内，每一个人都能主动参加学习，培养自主学习能力，让一些不是很主动的同学们，增强学习的自信心，我认为，小组合作性学习，最大的优点就是，培养了学生们合作团队精神，例如，老师们说的一个问题，有的人会回答，而有的人一点也不懂，在这里就可以向组内同学寻求帮助，直到把问题解决。

分组之后，每一位成员都有自己的责任和任务，1号是组长，2号是副组长，协助组长管理好本小组，3号是记录员，4号是资料收集员，各有各的特点，合作刚好把各个成员的思维想法总结起来，正如说“三个臭皮匠，顶过一个诸葛亮”人多力量大嘛，同学们如果可以理解到这种合作精神，就可以互相帮助，互相合作，就可以学得更好。

另外，小组合作学习，能充分调动学生学习积极性，使每一位学生都有了主动学习和创新的机会。由于学生的上进心和集体荣誉感，所以在分配到任务后，同学们都可以以积极的、主动的心态去完成。在这期间，使学生们由原来的被动学习变成了主动学习，从而有了“我要努力学”的强烈愿望。小组合作学习给学生们提供了一个独立思考发现和解决问题的空间，也让老师们减轻了负担。

虽然小组合作学习，有不少的优点，可任何事物都有利有弊，它也不例外，小组合作学习也的确存在着一些小问题。例如：在同一个小组里面，学习水平高的同学，发言机会总是有很多的，而相对于学习水平低一点的同学们，有些问题会难倒她们，从而失去信心，不敢发言;有时小组内会因为意见和观点不同，从而产生分歧，给部分同学带来压力，甚至厌倦小组合作学习这一政策;也可能基础差一点的同学有问题请教组长，而耽误太多组长的时间，让组长没有好好地学习……等等一些方面!

因此我们应该多多利用好小组合作学习的优点，学会自主学习，独立思考，将学习变成一种乐趣!

Competition is common in every field of life. For example, the Olympic Games is the most famous competition in the world. In the four hundred meter swimming race, the swimmers plunge into the water at the signal. Each swings his or her arms and legs and tries his or her best to be the first. Also there is the competition for jobs, for promotion, for customers, and so on. We can say, in a certain sense, competition stimulates peoples interest in work and helps society to go forword.

We often find that competition goes hand in trend with cooperation. Take, for example, a volley ball match. The members of the team cooperate with each other. One serves the ball, Then another passes the ball to a certain height for a still other to hit it over the net while the other members try to block it on its return. It requires good tearn work to win the game.

While we advocate competition, we cannot forget cooperation. Human beings are social beings. No one can exist alone in the society. If you want to play the game well, you have to play with others. You cannot play single-handed and win. You have to cooperate with your playmates, who may make the social ladder for you to climb to the top. From cooperation we get mutual help and understanding. With cooperation the world is progressing at peace and in harmony.
