 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Competition between friends usually negatively impacts friendships. Use specific details and examples to support your opinion. 朋友之间的竞争对于友谊有消极影响,是否认同?(2016年7月2日)


  【头脑风暴】 江湖中,一个高手打遍天下无敌手的时候,也就是他的武功即将废掉的时候。竞争对手亦可为友,因为彼此的敬重和欣赏。
  【写作立场】 朋友之间的竞争有助于增进友谊,维持友情。
  【思路拓展】
  为何朋友之间的竞争有利于维持友谊:
  友谊是建立在互相尊敬和欣赏的基础之上的,所谓英雄相惜,因此,只有通过竞争, 我们才能发现朋友的优点,进而产生一种敬意。和优秀的人在一起也是人的一种本能。所以,竞争有助于增进友谊。
  这个争议是我想起一个体育故事,NBA 球星James 和 Paul 是一对好友,他们在比赛中互不相让,为了各自的团队荣誉而战,但是,在生活中他们是好友,甚至亲人,他们因为彼此欣赏,互相帮助, 他们的友谊并没有因为竞争而淡化。
  为何朋友之间的竞争不利于维持友谊:
  衡量友谊的一个很重要的标准就是朋友在患难或者危机时刻的表现。生活中例证很多,很多人是玩耍的好伙伴,但是,一旦遇到竞争,尤其是涉及到个人利益的竞争,如果一方为自我的私利而做出有损于友谊的事情,这时候,友谊很难维持。
  但是,我想反驳的是:为了个人的利益就可以在竞争中卖友求荣,损人利己之人,不值得结交。
  【经典语料】

  6.This debate reminds me of a story. 这个争议是我想起来一个体育故事。
  7.James and Paul are noted 5 for their basketball talents and skills on the NBA court, during the basketball game, they compete with each other fiercely for the honor of respective team.  However, competition never alienate 6 their friendship, they are close friends in real life for the simple reason that they appreciate each other. 球星James 和 Paul 是一对好朋友,他们在比赛中互不相让,为了各自的团队荣誉而战,但是,在生活中他们是好友,他们因为彼此欣赏,才结为朋友,友谊没有因为竞争而淡化。
