Life is competitive-some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem1, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different from others. This means there are "winner" and "losers", and lots of people are 22 winners2losers but in between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a "good" winner. No one likes a "show off". No one likes someone who takes all the3for the efforts of a team. No one likes people who put4down to make themselves look good. To be a good winner, you need to:
⒈ Be modest(谦虚的)
⒉ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
⒊ Keep doing your best5your skills
Being an even better loser
Of course it's6to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or7, complaining (抱怨) and going on about things being "unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad competitor. And no one likes bad competitors either.
To be an even better loser, you need to:
⒈ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
⒉ 8the other team.
⒊ Keep any negative thoughts to yourself-9until you are away from the game.
It's OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don't do very will in a game, try10to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
