SAT写作例子The SAT Essay Sample:
Competition has defnite benefts. It encourages people and organizations to try harder and do their best. That is why American society is largely organized around competi-tive battles. But a balance is needed. When there is too much competition, everybody loses.
Take business as an example. When companies try to win at all costs, people often suffer. Companies fghting for sur-vival may lower their prices, which is good for customers. But companies locked in competition also fre workers, which can hurt thousands of families. Sometimes managers feel driven to use unfair tactics, as when companies exploit employees by failing to pay overtime wages. Competition that is out of control can hurt average Americans.
Politics is another feld where competition has gotten out of hand. At one time, competition in politics took place only during elections. Now it is constant. Politicians call one another names, accuse one another of crimes, and run ads attacking each other. The high cost of campaign ads makes it hard for candidates who aren t rich to be elected. No wonder many Americans say they have come to hate politics.
Now competition has even come to the T V screen. Todays most popular shows are reality shows where people lie, cheat, and hurt each other. What kind of lesson about life does this send to young kids who may be watching?
We will never do away with all competition and we should not try to. But too much of a good thing can be bad and this is true of competition.
