Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Many people think that if they have to do things that they do not enjoy, the result will be very bad. However, I oppose this thought. I totally believe that sometimes we do things we hate we can find new things that we can interest and change our attitude.

I admit that sometimes we can found something new if we do things we have never enjoy before. I have a cousin who is younger than me. His mother told me that he used to hate going to the bookstore. He thought that place is boring, and it was better to search e-books and read e-books in the computer. But once time, his mother forced him to go to the bookstore near his house to buy her a cooking book. He did not enjoying this so much but he still went. At the bookstore, he met a new friend and had an interested conversation with her. Then she became his best friend.  If my cousin did not go to the bookstore that day, maybe, he would have never found that best friend.

In addition, doing things we never like can make us change our attitute. My friend used to hate classical music. He considered that it was boring and difficult to understand. He loved Rock and Rap music. However, last year I introduced him a symphony writen by Vivaldi named four seasons. And he tried to listen to that symphony. After that he told me with the happiness that it was the first time he found the peace from classical music. From that time, he changed his attitude about classical music. Now he loves this kind of music, and listen to it everyday. 

In conclusion, doing things we hate make us unhappy, but sometimes it can bring new things to us, change our attitude that can change our life. We do not need to do things that we do not like but sometimes doing that things can benefit us.

Topic: We all work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In
your opinion, what are some characteristics of a co-worker (someone
you work closely with)?

Nowadays, the amount of work of our projects is very huge, so all of
us have to cooperate with other people to do projects. Co-workers are
key members because they can decide if our projects are success or
fail. Thus, I totally believe that a co-worker must be hardworking,
smart and truthful.

One of the colleague's crucial characteristics is hardworking.
Usually, we divide our project into many parts. Each colleague will
have responsibility to solve each part. If any co-worker is lazy, he
can not finish his work on time. This can make projects not be
finished on the due day.

Apart from hardwork, a co-worker needs to be smart. I think that a
smart person can give many ideas to solve problems. One time, when I
worked in my company's project and we needed to collect data of
customers' need. One of my colleague suggested we use volunteer to do
this work. This brilliant idea saved us a lot of time and money.

Finally, truthfulness is also an important characteristic a co-worker
needs. A truthful person never lie, and he often straightly shows
flaws of other co-workers. I belive that this help all of members in a
team recognize their mistakes and prevent the projects from the
failure in the future.

In summary, co-workers are important persons who with us finish our
work. Hardwork, smart and truthfulness are the most important
characteristics, I think, that a colleague needs. Without any of those
features, a co-worker is not ideal to work with.=
