In a team, those who do not accept other’s criticism cannot succeed. Use specific reasons to support your answer.
Some people argue that in a team those who do not accept other's criticism cannot succeed. I cannot agree with them any more. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this opinion, and I would explore only a few primary ones here.
People rejecting to be criticized will bring negative influence on themselves and their team. In mose cases people will refuse to accept criticism through all kinds of ways. The most commonway is trying to explain--that is finding excuses. The lust to explain is so strong that at that moment those who are criticised will try their best to find excuses to make their own mistakes excusable. And this kind of behavior will be strengthened with consistently repetitions, and then makes a person 'refuse to grow', and even worse 'refuse to evolute'. Interestingly, this kind of people has enormous influence on their team, because maybe most people are afraid to make mistakes and hate to be criticised, those who are good at self-justification are easier to get resonance among a team. So from the other hand, this habit will make a person become the black sheep of a team, and eventually the team has to fire the black sheep for its own survival. In the long run, if this kind of person has chance to realize at what cost they refuse to accept criticism, they will be regret for what they have done.
However,those who can accept other's criticism can reflect themselves and realize their mistakes. In their eyes, criticism is a turning point which will lead them to success. When Einstein was a child, he fancied for violin but his skill did not improve with his practice. His teacher told him that he had no talent for violin and he could not play violin well. Such an acrimony hurt Einstein, fortunately Einstein cheered him up and accepted his teacher's criticism, later he turned his focus to physics. At last, the child became a great scientist. The power of criticism made him succeed.
Furthermore,criticism, however, has an inspiring force. It is a spur, horse will run much harder with each painful hit. Steve Jobs once made a big mistake, and he was criticized by the board and was fired at last. But criticism made Jobs reflect himself and corrected his mistake. The second time he came back to Apple Corporation, he developed I-pod series and brought a lot income for his company. Although sometimes criticism is caustic,some people will see it as a fortune for success.
Thus, in my opinion,in a team only by accepting other's criticism, one can have a clear mind, learn more and reach for success.

谢谢hansxiao7! 你指出的问题很对。我开头段是写的太短,主要还是欠练习,要多写写。第一body段句子连接欠考虑,and的用的太多,句子有的也太长。这些问题我以后要注意滴~作者: guodonghu 时间: 2012-7-22 23:11 标题: 7.22 独立 Some people believe that people should follow their ambitious dreams and goals even they are not realistic;others believe that people should focus on achieving realistic goals. What’s your opinion and why?Use specific reasons to support your answer.
When asked about the approaches of life, many people have the idea that achieving realistic goals is good way of the life. However, others take the view that a challenges and difficulties bring us a meaningful life. Of course, every individual has his own opinion about the strengths and weakness when choosing ambitious goals or realistic goals. As for me, my choice is definitely to try to achieve ambitious goals.
While the idea of achieving realistic goals is without advantages. Probably, the most reasonable benefit of this behavior is that one can make sure to be successful and never lose face. Success is important. For instance, if you are a employee of a large competitive company, are you reluctant to miss every precious promotion opportunity to show your failure to your department manager? Or will you be tolerant to losing a job because of an unintentionally tiny error? The answer is possibly not. And achieving realistic goals can also become a protection to a sensitive self-esteem. These above may account for why considerable number of people choose achievable goals.
Nevertheless, pound for pound, I reckon that ambitious goals are more advantageous. First of all, there is no doubt that this is a sufficient way to perfect one a lot. Those who try ambitious goals maybe sometimes fail. It is just the failure that points out where he is inadequate and not developing well. And it is also the experience of failure teaches him where to avoid making the same mistake as before.
Moreover, sometimes higher aims are inevitable. A little step forward always leads to a meaningful important discovery. In science, physicists insist on researching to explore the unknown mysterious substance cosmos and chemists seek out new useful materials through the results of millions of experiments. To some extent, we can say that stop exploring stop progressing.
Although there may be tremendous risks and masses of difficulties waiting us on the way of achieving goals, we can really not stop our forward step. Given the factors I have outlined, I believe that a person who is full filled with the courage to try ambitious goals is more likely to overdo himself and enjoy a more and more colorful world.

作者: guodonghu 时间: 2012-8-3 15:55 标题: 8.3 独立 8.3 独立:Parents should help children to do their work or encourage children to do their work independently.
In this day and age, child's development seems always among the top concerns of each parent. Because desirable education may lay a solid foundation for one's future success. When it comes to whether parents should assist children in doing their work or encourage them to solve problems independently. Since there are always advantages and disadvantages of the two, and there are always different situations, my personal opinion is that different strategy should be applied for different situations.
Parents' assistance is inevitable for preschool and primary-level children's education. Firstly, kids are not physical and psychological mature enough to solve problems they could face in study. When I was a child, everyday my nursery teacher always gave us homework such as arithmetic, spelling and reading. Some of arithmetical problems always frustrated me and I could figure the problems out with a few hints from my parents. When I read books, many new words often puzzled me, due to the help of my parents I could learn tons of new words. Honestly I cannot imagine how could I finish assignments all by my self. Also, sometimes in China teachers often leave so much homework that kids cannot finish before the deadline, or there are some kinds of assignments which parents must get involved in. In such cases some instructions are reasonable.
However, for adolescents, parents are supposed to inspire them with confidence to think independently. The ability to think independently is of great importance for the young's mental soundness which is crucial for one's future life. Most teenagers have already received some schooling and they have gasped the general knowledge, thereby they are prepared to do their assignments independently. The parents should focus on fostering their ability to tink independently. Even though teenagers maybe encounter problems in their study, they are supposed to solve problems independently. For instance my brother, Mike, when he was a teenager, as my uncle and aunt were busy with their business, they did not have enough time to care my brother's study. At school he could ask for help from his peers or his teachers but after school he had nobody to insult about problems he confronted with. Therefore he could only depend on himself. Surprisingly, his performance was well in shool without his parents' guide. When being asked about his trick, he said it was independent thinking that helped him solve problems and made him perform well in school. Thus, for teenagers, parents should spur them to think independently.
In conclusion, when considering about whether to help children's study or not depending on children's age. When they are in nursery or primary shool, some proper assistance is inevitable, otherwise, it is a wiser choice for parents to stimulate their children to finish taskes independently.作者: eva0401 时间: 2012-8-4 11:01 标题: 楼主 ,我第一次写toefl 第一次改toefl 如有不好的地方请多见谅哒 谢谢 共同进步 加油 8.3 独立:Parents should help children to do their work or encourage children to do their work independently. 楼主 ,我第一次写toefl 第一次改toefl 如有不好的地方请多见谅哒 谢谢 共同进步 加油 In this day and age, The child's(可数名词不能单独使用 要么加the 要么用复数)development seems always among the top concerns of each parent.

Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.
Recently a public problem has been brought into our eyes that whether public media,such as movies and television, brings more negative effects for the young. Different people will give different responses to this question from their own characters, emotional concerns and even educational backgrounds.(废话,这么写可以么?)However, when it comes to me, I believe that movies and television have more positive effects than negative effects on the way the young behave. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this opinion and I would explore only a few primary ones here. 自己感觉第一段开头写的冗,可我想出好点的开头很困难,这种模式化的开头是不是很不好?
Firstly, enjoying television and movies is an effective way to relax for young people. In this day and age, the young suffer all kinds of pressure from work, family and society. Usually their pressure needs an outlet, otherwise Suffering from pressure will cause metal disease . According to a resent survey of National Health Centre 2012, there are 15.6% of people aging 20 to 40 suffering from mental illness caused by pressure.Imagine after a day of work, you can sit in front of the TV and have a little chat with your family. At the same time, some of the TV programs will make you laugh. These will definitely release the pressure and refresh yourself.
Secondly, enjoying television and movies can expend one's outlook. Consider such programs as Discovery and National Geology, this kind of programs shows the beautiful scenery in different parts of the world which we hardly have the chance to come in our life span.Have you ever gone to the North Pole? Have your ever gone to the Rockies? Or have your ever gone to the jungle in Africa? Fortunately, thanks to these programs we know more about other parts of our planet even if we never been there.
Thirdly, the most important reason I want to mention is that one's character can be perfected through what one learns in the TV and movies. Most movies show the bright side of the humanity and the virtues of the heroes can effect the way young men behave.It is arguable that one has the nature to imitate, so the mainstream values in movies- bravery, honesty and reliability etc.- is likely to effect the young. Moreover, some of the movies are really inspiring. The Pursuit of Happiness is a well-known American inspiring movie which has effected millions of young men in the world.In the movie the hero was in great trouble-his wifes left, suffering from breakout himself- but he did never give up. Subsequently, he became a stock manager by his effort. When I was in adversity and sometimes even wanted to give up, I could always get strength from the hero in this movie. So from movies one can learn virtues which are of great benefit for one's future life.
Admittedly, some behaviors in films and movies have a negative influence on the young. Sometimes there are too much violence which some young man are likely to imitate and cause murders and gun-shots. So the authorities are supposed to control the contents of violence. With proper control, the young can learn less violence from films or television. All in all, if all the factors are contemplated, the disadvantages of television and films look pale, we can safely reach a conclusion that movies and television are more beneficial to the young.作者: sarahpx 时间: 2012-8-6 00:29 黄色精彩处红色错误蓝色建议绿色总结

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.
Recently a public problem has been brought into our eyes that whether public media,such as movies and television, brings more negative effects for the young. Different people will give different responses to this question from their own characters, emotional concerns and even educational backgrounds.(这些内容如果与下文相关会更好吧)However, when it comes to me, I believe that movies and television have more positive effects than negative effects on the way the young behave. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this opinion and I would explore only a few primary ones here. (这种开头不是不好,只是说大家用多了可能考官会觉得没新意。但实在没辙了这也是一种方法。我个人的感觉是可以先交代对象背景,如这里可以先写young people 的特征,或者干脆先写下觉得negative人的做法,如父母等,再自然的带出你的反对观点。……额,我说的乱七八糟,不知道亲看懂了没——关于开头灰常欢迎来讨论下哦) Firstly, enjoying television and movies is an effective way to relax for young people. In this day and age, the young suffer all kinds of pressure from work, family and society. Usually their pressure needs an outlet, otherwise Suffering from pressure will cause metal disease . According to a resent survey of National Health Centre 2012, there are 15.6% of people aging 20 to 40 suffering from mental illness caused by pressure. (这个数据要是更紧扣young people 会更好)Imagine after a day of work, you can sit in front of the TV and have a little chat with your family. At the same time, some of the TV programs will make you laugh. These will definitely release the pressure and refresh yourself.
Secondly, enjoying television and movies(这对象文章出现多次的话最好同义替换下) can expend one's outlook. Considering such programs as Discovery and National Geology, this kind of programs shows the beautiful scenery in different parts of the world which we hardly have the chance to come in our life span. Have you ever gone to the North Pole? Have your ever gone to the Rockies? Or have your ever gone to the jungle in Africa?(这里排比挺好) Fortunately, thanks to these programs we know more about other parts of our planet even if we never been there.
Thirdly, the most important reason I want to mention is that one's character can be perfected(用这词有点绝对了吧)through what one learns in the TV and movies. Most movies show the bright side of the humanity and the virtues of the heroes(可以变成插入语或定语从句) can effect(这词有点抽象,直接说是好的影响吧) the way young men behave. It is arguable that one has the nature to imitate, so the mainstream values in movies- bravery, honesty and reliability etc.- is likely to effect the young. Moreover, some of the movies are really inspiring. The Pursuit of Happiness is a well-known American inspiring movie which has effected millions of young men in the world. In the movie the hero(protagonist) was in great trouble-his wives left, suffering from breakout himself- but he did never give up. Subsequently, he became a stock manager by his effort.

Admittedly, some behaviors in films and movies have a negative influence on the young.

With proper control, the young can learn less violence from films or television. All in all, if all the factors are contemplated, the disadvantages of television and films look pale, we can safely reach a conclusion that movies and television are more beneficial to the young.

8.5独立开头我又仔细的想了想: Version 1 As a girl, have you ever imagined you were Rose in Titanic who owed a legendary love? As(当) you were in adversity,have you been inspired by the scene of Shawshank's successful escape. As your beloved needed your help, have you imagined you were the 'Spiderman' who could give his beloved a hand at an emergency ? Undoubtedly, most of protagnists and highlights on the screens bring us many positive influences for our life.
Version 2 As a young man, have you ever imagined you were the one like Spiderman or Superman who could save the world someday? As a young lady, have you ever imagined you were the one like Rose whose love sotry moved millions of young men worldwide.Undoubtedly, most of protagnists and highlights on the screens bring us many positive influences for our life.

8.8独立 What is the main role of the university professor, to educate students or to do research?
"Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, teacher is the most important." is the remark of Bill Gates. Nowadyas, in China, some professors seem quite 'busy', in searching for fundings, in doing their projects, and in preparing their reports. They pay little attention on education. If this phenomenon continues, how can students receive good education in college, how can they learn good virtues like dedication from their role model- professor, and how can they become competitive over their peers in the job market in the future?
At first, I would explore some obvious reasons why so many professors focus on doing reserch. Because everyone, including professors, has rights to strive for his own well-being, it sounds quite reasonable that so many professors hunt for happiness by doing research, even worse, sometimes by ignoring(belittle?) their teaching task. Research benefits professors a lot. They can improve academic skills, gain recognition from others, and make money. In short,all of these---academic skills, recognition,and money---enhance their social status. However,undoubtedly,To impart knowledge IS professors' responsibility and To foster the youth who are the hope of our country IS the professors' obligation. Although research is of importance for professors,teaching should not be ignored.
Teaching offers professors a opportunity to improve themselves. Although preparing some subjects needs time and energy, and sometimes may take up professors' time spending on research, during preparing such courses- analytical writing, mechanical engineering, basic chemistry etc.- basic knowledge which is the foundation of innovations may be reviewed, new ideas which could be used to solve urgent problems may come up into mind , and skills such as analytical thinking and observation which are great helpful for both in reports and academic skills may as well be sharpened. Moreover, a famous Chinese philosopher -Confucius-said: in reviewing, we learnt new. In other words, through teaching, professors could review knowledge, get inspirations and sharpen skills, meanwhile students could learn new things. It is a win-win situation.
In addition,when professors are occupied with projects, students could do a favor for them. Beacuse some tasks in a project do not need high academic background, Most students are able to finish most of the tasks in a project. For saving time and energy, it is wiser for professors to get assistance from their students, which leave students a chance to know how to link virtual knowledge between practical application. For example, my brother,who majored in Computer Science in Beijing University, Mike, is working in IBM as a product manager. When he was in college, his mentor, who was very famous and had many research projets at the same time, gave him and his classmates many opportunities to get involved in projects. They learnt a lot from those projects,such as how to look for resources, how to write a report and so on. Owing to his valuable research experiences and his academic background, after he graduated, he fortunately got an offer from IBM. This case is not rare, many students learn a lot in helping their professors.
From what has been discussed above, we may aware that in reality education and research do not contradict each other, but obviously education is prior to research.

诶诶 串错门啦。以为要修改果冻的作文类。。。脑袋瓜不管啦作者: guodonghu 时间: 2012-8-23 10:49 标题: 练笔一篇 Cars have greater impact on society than airplanes have 计时40 mins Modern transportation, such as automobiles and aeroplanes, plays an inevitably essential role in people's daily life. This is where controversy arises. Some people holding the opinion that airplanes have deeper influence socially than vehicles have merely points out that traveling by air is much faster than driving cars. However, growing numbers of people believe that cars influence society more than airplanes do. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this view, I would explore only a few primary ones here. To begin with, cars, to some extend, are the symbols of one's wealth, social status as well as success. It is acknowledged that a boss of a influential enterprise often drives famous business cars such as AUDI A8 and so on, a famous sports star tends to drive a notably luxury sports car, but I am an ordinary person, so I have to ride a bicycle . In other words,normally no one can deny that the more successful a man is, the better car he will drive. In a larger sense, car is a motivator for one to strive for success in his career. Moreover, another equally important reason I want to mention is that cars shorten the distance between site A and site B and thus boost the efficiency of the society as a whole. Imagine a person who lives in suburb and works in the center of the city like Beijing. Driving a car only takes him only half a hour to cover the distance between his home and office, otherwise taking public transportation maybe takes 1 hour. or more Obviously, cars save us considerable time in out daily life. If there were no cars, haw can we live such a convenient life? Last but not least, automobile revolution benefits the problem of unemployments in many place worldwide. Millions of workers work in many automobile factories and they maybe are designers , assembling workers, and sales. In addition, car manufacturing also enhances the need of iron, which increases the demand of mining and refining for metal. Thirdly, nowadays more and more gasoline is needed, which result in more demand for petroleum. All of these create millions of job positions and thus solve many unemployment issues. All in all, wonderful though the advantages that airplanes enjoy are, such as merely faster and strengthening the link between regions, they cannot compete with the benefits we gain from cars: social symbol, efficiency and jobs. So we can safely reach the conclusion that cars are more beneficial than aeroplanes.
