Jake

I think competition is good. It helps us try our best. I played soccer, and I always wanted to win. When my team won a trophy, I felt very happy.

Emily

I don’t like competition. It can make people feel sad when they lose. I lost a dance competition once, and I cried. For me, winning is not the most important thing.

Liam

I am not sure about competition. Sometimes it is fun, but sometimes it is hard. My friend wins more than me, and that makes me sad. I just want to have fun.

Sofia

Competition can be very exciting! My team won first place in the spelling bee. I felt proud of myself and my friends.
