Working Individually or Working in a Team
There are basically two ways to get work done. One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own.
People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion.
Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.

【范文赏析】
★文体分析
本文是议论文，主要就两种完成工作的方式进行对比，要求考生根据要点提示写作。此范文要点齐全，较多地使用了复合句，加强了句子结构的复杂性。另外，本文使用了许多过渡短语或词汇。如：in this way, what’s more, besides, personally等，这些词汇使文章逻辑关系增强，过渡自然，浑然一体。
文章使用的是第三人称，时态用的是一般现在时。
★行文模式
本文采用了议论文最常见的“三段式”结构：
第一段：首先点出文章的主题，然后紧接着描写了独立完成工作这种方式，点出了这种工作方式的优点。
第二段：描述的是合作完成工作方式的优点。
第三段：发表自己的观点和看法。
★佳句集锦
1. A) People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other.
B) Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them.
(这两个句子都是主从复合句，都使用了定语从句，一个是where引导的，另一个是which引导的。在英语书面表达中，我们经常借助于定语从句来使句子结构复杂，所以这两句值得在写作中学习。)
2. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently.
(这也是一个主从复合句。as引导的是原因状语从句。)
【即学即练】
现在全国很多学校出现了一种新的教学方式

：小组合作学习方式(group-centered studying)。在此之前，常用的方式是“填鸭式教学(forced-feeding method of teaching)”。这两种方式各有特点，请你以“Forced-feeding teaching or group-centered studying”为题，按照以下要点写一篇120词左右的短文：
1. 填鸭式教学：老师讲得多，把知识灌输给学生，课堂气氛沉闷，学生缺乏主动性；
2. 小组合作学习：老师讲得少，同学们一起讨论、相互学习，有学习的积极性，但部分同学容易养成偷懒的习惯；
3. 你喜欢的方式和理由。

One possible version:
Forced-feeding teaching or
group-centered studying
There are basically two teaching methods at present. One is forced-feeding teaching, the other is group-centered studying.
With forced-feeding teaching, teachers spend much time on the instructions while the students are busy taking notes. Therefore, it leads to the whole class not taking an active role in their lessons.
With group-centered studying, students can exchange what they learn and express their opinions freely. But it has a shortcoming: Some students get into the habit of being lazy.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer to study in a team, which offers students a chance to learn how to express their opinions. What’s more, it can make students form the good habit of looking up a large quantity of information in advance. In a word, we can benefit a lot from studying in a team.
