2. read to respond
    After I read this essay, I am not that agree with the writer. I do think children don't need to compete in most of part; however, I think competition is useful to some parts. Writer talked about the sports, she think children should just need to enjoy the process of playing it instead of compete with other and try to get the champion. I think competition could help people to discover their potential. Since people need to try their best when they do a competition, people would do better than normal during the competition. Some people would never know they could do a amazing job because they are never did that under a high pressure.
3. read to analyze assumptions.
   She assume that children would have less hurt if they have no competition. I couldn't agree with this assumption. Clearly, children would get hurt if they are careless even they are just play instead of doing a competition. Actually, I never did basketball competition, but I hurt my feet before when I just play with others. Moreover, there are a lot of professional coaches or tutors to help those children when they do a competition. Those coaches or tutors would teach them how to warm up and how to protect themselves. In addition, they would have more equipment to help them protect themselves. Thus, doing a competition is more professional and safe than playing without any protection.
