托福独立写作题目:不接受批评者不易取得团队成功
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: People who cannot accept criticism will not succeed working in teams. 重复2011.12.2NA
托福独立写作范文:英文例文
People who are successful at working in groups are hardworking, good at communicating, and good at sharing and accepting ideas. Listening to what others have to say, including their criticisms of your work, is an important part of being a successful team member.
Group work is an important part of studying and working. By working in teams, more ideas can be shared and combined to enable more creative and successful outcomes. In my business class for example, my teacher often puts us into groups. As a group we have to create business models and advertising plans. Exchanging ideas is an important part of this assignment. Everybody contributes an idea, and we decide on the best idea for each project. If there is a team member that does not take criticism well, then it makes it harder for my group to finish its project. One time a team member, Joe, was so offended we did not take his idea that he refused to help us finish the assignment. The teacher then failed Joe for not participating.
What is even worse, if you cannot take criticism well, then nobody will want to work with you. For one project, our teacher let us pick our own teams. Nobody wanted to work with Joe. Imagine if that was the real world? Many jobs require that you work and collaborate with other people. If nobody in your office wants to work with you, you are not likely to get assigned the most important projects by your boss.
In addition, if you cannot take criticism well, then you will not improve. I used to play soccer when I was younger. In soccer, it is important to play as a team. When I first started playing, my coach used to yell at me all the time, because I kept on stealing the ball from my teammates. I got upset at first because I thought the coach was just being mean. My dad then talked to me after the game, and showed me how to pass and receive the ball. If I had just quit after the coach yelled at me, I would have never improved my playing or helped my team win the school championship.
If you are able to listen to criticisms and negative comments, you are more likely to improve yourself. By improving yourself, you are more likely to find success. This is especially true if you are working with a team. Nobody wants to work with somebody who cannot exchange ideas or hear comments without getting upset. Without the support of team members, it is harder to succeed. (434 words)
