Undoubtedly, group works play a significant role in people’s daily lives in many places where they work or play. Some people think that people who do not accept the critique from others cannot be successful at working in a group while others do not. Both sides may have own reasons to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that people who accept the critique benefit from their group works. There are several reasons as follow. To begin with, when students take for critical advice, they can cultivate important qualities needed for successful group work. It requires them to listen other’s opinion, to understand each other, and to promote their group cooperation. When student get the critical advice, it is likely to help them to make successful group work. For example, when I was first year in university, I did poorly in university life. I got distracted easily, procrastinated, and acted on impulse. These personal traits affected my group project. When I participated in group project that was chemical engineering class task, our group member blamed to me because I was late every group meeting and missed my homework. However, I had changed little by little after I did accept our member’s critique. One of our members, Theodore, said to me. “If you do not have mind to change your personal traits such as late meeting, you will have a bad result in your grades in addition these traits negatively affect your life. But if you change your mind to have passion in your tasks, you will receive A in this class and have a better ability in your university life. I realized that accepting this advice helped me to make successful group works. Thanks to accept this advice, I started to maintain a good behavior. I showed characteristics of a longer attention span, a stronger passion in my tasks, and a better ability to delay gratification. As a result, our group could receive A in this class. If I had not accepted our group member’s advice, I would have fallen behind. In short, I strongly believe that the advantages that accepting critique could help people’s group works for outweigh those of without receiving any critique for the reasons I have mentioned above. All in all, the important of get to advice for successful group works cannot be overestimated in life. |
