problem or bring out a better solution as soon as possible. In addition, to work with team also can
save the time and make more money for companies. As we know, it is a strong competitive
society. Time can means a lot to a company. To work with a team can reduce the time to the
lowest extend so that the company can increase their competition. Although to work with a team
does have its profound advantages, at the mean time there lies some drawbacks in it such as an
individual may rely on the others in a team.
But if all these factors are contemplated, the advantages of working with a group of people carry
more weight than those of working independently because the first one fits most companies better
in two ways: In the first place, we cannot live in a society independently and we need to
communicate with each other, so the communication skill is very important to us. Through
teamwork, we can enhance this ability. Secondly, through teamwork, we can try each one's best to
give a better idea to save time and make more profit for companies. Therefore from what we have
discussed, we may safely come to the conclusion that choosing to work with a group of people is a
rather wise decision.

In a modern society, employers always face the dilemma of whether to choose a person to work
with a group of people or to work independently. This problem is a much-debated one in that it
affects everybody in his or her daily lives. While both of the ways may have their advantages and
disadvantages, they can be applied under different circumstances. Afterwards, I will explain my
opinion about it.
To work independently has the obvious advantage that it can prove the ability of a employee. One
can use his own knowledge and way to solve the difficulties met during the work. But there lies
intrinsic harmful characteristic in this method. Some people warn that a person choosing to work
independently may lack the ability of communicating with other people. Furthermore, a person's
knowledge and ability are limited. We need others' help or assistance to solve the problems. By
means of it, we can improve the efficiency so that a company can make good use of human

resources.
On the other hand, choosing to work with a group of people also has advantages to some extent.
From most advertisements, we can notice that nowadays more and more companies concentrate
on communication skills and team-cooperated abilities. The reason is that they believe two heads
are always better than one's. With the combination of all people's knowledges, we can solve the
problem or bring out a better solution as soon as possible. In additon, to work with team also can
save the time and make more money for companies. As we know, it is a strong competitive
society. Time can means a lot to a company. To work with a team can reduce the time to the

Some people like to work independently, while others would prefer to work in a team. Is it more
important to be able to work with a group of people on a team or to work independently?
Depending on different personal traits and working environments, people will have different
answer to this question. I think being able to work in a team is more important for me.
First, modern society and industry is a complicated system which requires team work,
communication and cooperation between companies and individuals. Take a computer system for

example, it comprises of hardware, operating system and software, which are manufactured
separately by different companies. Not one single company can accomplish a computer system
without using products and technologies from other companies. Similarly, in a company,
communication and teamwork is more and more important because I can not do my work properly
without interacting with my supervisor and my colleagues.
Second, there are many advantages of working in a group than working alone. Teamwork provides
me with a cooperative, friendly and enjoyable work environment. The team can also be helpful
with my questions and problems, therefore increase the efficiency of my work. Teamwork can
challenge my abilities and I can learn valuable experiences from it. From teamwork, I can also
made valuable contacts with other professionals, which is quite helpful to my future career.
Third, the ability of working independently does not contradict with the ability to work in a team.
For example, in a team environment, I enjoyed being a major contributor to my team. The fact
that others depended on my work made me feel like I was doing worthwhile things. For example, I
was in charge of the front end for the GUI for the new test manager. This was very valuable,
because I know how important working on a team is.
Inclusion, I think the most important quality for me in my work environment is the ability to work
with others in a team.

The answer to this question depends on your own experience and life style. In my point view, if
we should build a statue or monument to honor someone important to our city, this person is no
one else but people in our city. Among countless factors which influence the choice, these are
three conspicuous aspects as follows.
The main reason for my propensity for building a monument for people is that people are the
greatest resources of our city. (……)
Another reason can be seen by every person is that people are productive forces. (……)
Furthermore, many works in the city can never fully be automated by computers and machines.
Although we can use the latest technologies, we never forget that there is no substitute for human
skill and creativity.

In short, the most important and honorable person in this city is not a single person, it is the
people. People are heroes. For our city to survive and thrive, it is essential that the city update its

The answer to this question depends on your own experience and the country you were brought
up. In my point view, the most important custom from my country that I would like people from
other countries to adopt is filial piety.
According to Chinese tradition, filial piety is the primary duty of all Chinese. Being a filial son
means show respect to one's parents during their lifetime and as they grew older taking the best
possible care of them.
A story can best illustrate the concept of filial pity. During the Chin Dynasty (4th-5th Century
CE), a boy named Wu Meng was already serving his parents in exemplary filial piety although he
was just eight years old. The family was so poor that they could not even afford a gauze net
against the mosquitoes. Therefore every night in the summer swarms of mosquitoes would come
and bite them. Wu Meng let them all feast on his naked stomach. Even though there were so
many, he did not drive them away. He feared that the mosquitoes, having left him, would instead
bite his parents. His heart was truly filled with love for his parents.
Filial piety is a good virtual of Chinese people, and people from other countries should also learn
from it. Parents gave us birth and nurtured us, therefore we have the obligation to respect them
and to take care of them when they can no longer take care of themselves. Western countries
have complete social welfare systems to support people financially after they retire, but older
people often face loneliness; they long for somebody to talk to them, especially their children and
grand-children. We should try our best to spend more time with them, talk to them, and take them
to family gatherings and trips to the nature.
Filial piety can benefit our society. It can make our family tie stronger, and children can learn a lot
from our attitude to our parents and from their grand parents. They can realize how important a

family is to a person, and develop a strong sense of responsibility to their families and friends. For
example, when it is necessary to stand out to defend our families and even the nation for danger,
we will not hesitate to do so, because we know how important our families and our country is to
us.
In short, the most important custom from my country that I would like people from other
countries to adopt is to be good to their parents. It is not only ensure that our parents can be taken
good care of when they are getting old, but also help our children to develop good virtues and
spirits.

These are several viewpoints on the implications of technological change and advancement and
such schools of thought which considerably vary have their respective validity. Technological
change has its advantages and disadvantages. For one, it is true that it partly solves problems and
makes life better. At the same time, technological changes may likely create new problems
thereby threatening or damaging quality of life. In the developing economies, for instance,
technological advantages has both its merits and demerits. The introduction and seeming
acceptability and usefulness of computers have somehow helped increase the efficiency of several
TWE Essays 143/292
143
firms. It is not only in the industrial sector that technological change proven to be very effective.
In the agricultural sector, for example, the introduction of new technologies in increasing
production has been very effective in expanding agricultural produce. These are just a few
examples to illustrate the advantages of technological advancement.
On the other hand, countries should be more careful on their choice of technology since it must be
noted that while certain types of technology are adaptable to developed economies the same type
of technology may not fit the environment of developing countries due to differing economic,
social, cultural, and political factors. For example, infrastructure improvements such as a
construction of irrigation dam in the mountains of the Philippines where several natives reside
may likely be resisted by the population due to cultural factors. They may prefer not to have such

improvements in view of traditional values. Another example is the pollution impact of some
technological improvements particularly in the industrial sectors.
The choice and adaptability of new technology should therefore be carefully studied. The short,
medium, and long term impact of such technology is very important particularly for developing
economies. The benefits should always be greater than the costs.
I am inclined to support both positions because both views have their own validity. However, I am
more convinced that technological advancement is beneficial to countries so long as they are
aware of the disadvantages of such technology.

Nowadays,we are in an age of technological revolutions. Many conveniences have been brought
to us by technology and science. I agree with the statement that technology has made the world a
better place to live. The reasons and examples are chiefly as follows:
The developments of compudters and internet have improved our life styles dramatically.
Computers have changed our traditional ways of reading and writing, which bring us great
convenience. The combanation of computers and internet has made our living quite different from
before. Elecotronic mail is a useful example: computer users can communicate with one another
across the globe. Electronic mail is particularly beneficial for language students. Learners can
enjoy language exchange with native speakers through electronic mail.
Another good example is the invention of automobiles. Actually automobiles have been an
integral part of every industrial economy. Many people use an automobile to get to work, many
others - trademan, salesman, taxi drivers, police men - use automobiles as part of their work. On a
larger scale, car production is possibly the most important element of national industrial
performance. All in all, it is incrediable to imagine a mordern world will be like without
anutomobiles.
Likewise, international jet transport has had some revolutioanry effects on our lifestyles.
Beacause the high speed and relatively low costs of this type of travel, it has changed the way
people look at the world. Today the world is much smaller than it was in the past.
Adimittedly, technological advances also caused so unpleasant effects such as pollution of

automobile exhaust fumes, and noise of transport vechiels. But as people have realized those
problems and are trying to find ways to solve them, on the whole, I believe thatn thechnology has
made the world a better place to live.

Standing at the turn of the new century, we observe the twentieth century as a great advance in
technology. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways, life is
worse, but mostly, it is better. So personaly speaking, I am, and probably will always be, one of
those who agree with the idea that technology has made the world a better place to live.
First of all, technology has brought with it a more comfortable life. Not only do we use
aircondition and heating system during the summer and winter, but also do we take many changes
in food preparation methods to make so delicious food. Due to the development of architecture
and so on, living conditions are greatly improved nowadays.
Besides, the world is now more convenient to live. We can travel around by aeroplane and
railway network. We can talk to each other faraway by telephone. Several score years ago, it was
even daydreaming that we could today obtain information as well as commodities via Internet.
The last but not the least, through the process of technology improvement, people begin to realize
the fact that only reconciling with the nature can we keep a continuous development. That is why
we today pay so much attention to environmental protection. Many factories have achieved
economic growth without pollution under certain new technology. These cities are beginning to be
very beautiful places to live in.
Instances of the same sort can be multiplied indefinitely. When taking into account all these
merits we may safely arrive at the conclusion that advantages of technology outweigh any
disadvantage it may bring to our lives. Though I must admit that people sometimes invent some
things that threaten the lives of themselves, no one can ignore the additional convenience and
satisfaction offered by technology, and just with such experience the human being forge ahead
swiftly to the future.

With the development of technology, there have been a lot of changes to our life. Admittedly,
some of these changes are bad, causing many environmental and social problems. However, most
of these changes contribute to making our life more convenient, more comfortable and more
wonderful.
First of all, due to the improvement of technology, people can enjoy more convenience than ever.
For example, it only takes travelers or businessmen several hours to go to other countries by jet
plane, which makes the world seem to be much smaller. With the help of Internet, people at
different corners of the world can communicate with significantly high speed and low cost. It is
technology that has cleared away the barriers that once prevented people from leading a
convenient life.
Secondly, technology has made our life as comfortable as we can imagine. Sitting in air-
conditioned rooms, people do not have to suffer the extremely cold or hot weather any more.
Whatever vegetable or fruit we want to eat, we can always find it in a supermarket without
worrying about the season. We can also go to work in a place far away from our homes by using
automobiles or public transportation tools.
In addition, technology provides us many choices to spend our spare time. Listening to music by
TWE Essays 145/292
145
using an MD, MP3 or walkman, surfing the internet or watching digital movies, all of these
entertainments make our life wonderful. In conclusion, although technology has brought about
some problems, such as air pollution caused by increasing automobiles, ethnic problems caused by
cloning human beings, the benefits of technology far outweigh its bad influences. So it is safe to
say that technology has made the world a better place to live.

Whether technology has made the world a better place to live is a prevalent topic undergoing

serioius debate. After pondering it from several aspects, I totally agree it is true that technology
has made the world a better place to live. This I support with the following reasons
As we know, firstly technology can help people to live a longer life. A small example can give
some light to this point. At the stone age, our ancestors’ average age is about 25. Due to the
development of medical technology, now people’s average age is two or three times of that time.
Another reason why I prefer to this choice lies in the fact that technology ameliorate the
environment in which people living in. for example, thousand of yeas ago people lived in caves,
which are cold in winter and hot in summer. With using Architectural technology, people build up
houses, skyscrapers. Living in them, people enjoy the comfortable lives without worrying about
the whether it is hot,cold or rainy outside.
Finally I want to mention that technology has bring our lives more and more convenience. For
instance, many people like music, classic music or pop music. At the beginning, people must go to
the theater whenever he wanted to hear a song Today, by using great technologies, walkman and
discman are supplied for the music fans. Then they can enjoy their favorite songs anywhere and
anytime.
From what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that technology has
made the world a better place to live.

Nowadays some may hold the opinion that advertising can tell you a lot about a country. As far as
I am concerned, I agree with this statement. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.
One of the primary causes is that advertising is always a reflection of a country’s culture and
customs. Advertising varies from country to country, depending on the country's particular
conventions. For example, a Japanese advertisement may feature a Japanese lady with traditional
kimono, while an American advertisement may feature a western cowboy with a hat and ride a
horse. Through advertisement, we can have a general understanding of what people from other
countries look like, what they wear during their daily life, what they eat, what kind of
transportation they use, and what they do during their spare times. We can always learn different
cultures of different countries through these culture specific advertisements.

A further more subtle point we must consider is that we can understand a country by its products.
When we see a Toyota or a SONY advertisement on TV, we realize that Japanese people see
quality as a vital aspect of their products, and we know that how these people are always trying
their best in high technology development, and ensure the best quality in their products. When we
