59.Prizes and rewards 

i. Do you think competition is all about the prize?

No, I don't think so. Competitions are not just about winning a prize. Even if there is no prize or if it's not a big prize, it's still worth joining. When you compete, you get to use your skills and see how good you are compared to others. If you win, you feel proud and gain confidence. If you don't win, you learn what you need to improve. Either way, you get valuable experience. Competitions also help you learn how to handle both success and failure. Plus, you get to meet people who like the same things as you. If it's a work-related competition, you can make important connections with others in your field.

Absolutely not. Competition is about more than just the prize. Of course, prizes can be motivating , but competitions also help people grow in other ways. First of all, competitions help you practice and learn new things. For example, in a spelling contest, you learn new words, which helps you improve your vocabulary. In a cooking competition, you learn new recipes and techniques for preparing different dishes. You also learn how to deal with challenges, push yourself, and improve your abilities because in a competition, you face difficult tasks and try to do your best. This helps you become stronger and better at what you do. Even if you don't win, the experience of trying hard and working on your skills is valuable. You can feel proud of how much you have learned and how you have grown. The experience itself can be just as important as winning a prize because it shows you what you can achieve and helps you improve for the future. 

ii. What prizes should schools set for students?

Schools should give awards and certificates for things like good behavior, perfect attendance, and doing well in class. These prizes help students feel proud of themselves and happy about their hard work. For example, a certificate for coming to school every day can make students want to keep attending and learning. Schools could also offer extra points on tests or even a homework-free weekend, Extra points can encourage students to study more because they know they can improve their grades. A weekend without homework is a fun prize that gives students time to relax, which makes them feel rewarded for working hard during the week. Fun prizes like books, sports equipment, or school trips would be great too, A new book can get students excited about reading, and sports equipment can help them enjoy playing sports. A school trip to a fun place like a museum or a park gives students a break from regular classes and lets them learn in a different way. These rewards can make students feel happy, motivated, and excited about school.
