Table Topic 2
What is better, working together or competing against each other?
Here’s the structure they use and an example:
Intro: My opinion + Why (because…)
Body: Examples from personal experience or news articles
Conclusion: restatement of opinion.
I think that working together is better because when people work together they are more efficient, they are happier, and they produce more.
For example, last year my team leader decided to make my co-workers compete against each other. He compared the number of sales each sales person got and gave the person with the highest number of sales an award. This incentive was supposed to make us work harder and get more sales. So we all worked really hard and at the end of the month, everyone’s sales had gone down because everyone was too stressed about winning the award! (Continue the story… Please notice that I used the past tense to tell the story!)
So, I think that if people work together they are happier, more efficient and more productive.
