WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker (someone you work closely with)? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.
SAMPLE ANSWER
A large number of people spend most of their time at work. Our life is divided into three equal parts: 8 hours – sleep, 8 hours -work, 8 hours – family time. So, in the most cases, one’s co-worker plays an important role in one’s life. From my opinion, the essential characteristics of a co-worker are the following. First of all, a person who works closely with me must like his job. I think it is very important for a person to feel satisfaction with his job.
My husband is a software developer. He is fond of his job and people enjoy working with him because they see how many energy he puts into his job. Second of all, my co-worker must be persistent and never give up. I like when people who came across a problem try to solve it, find a good decision instead of looking for another person to hand it over. Another important aspect of this is that a good worker should always ask himself ‘What can be improved?” and suggests new solutions. In addition, he must be a good team player.
In the modern world good communication skills and the ability to work in a team are among the common position requirements. Personally, I think it is great to help each other, share new ideas, develop new solutions, etc. It helps to create a team spirit and improve labor productivity. Finally, my co-worker must be punctual. He or she should finish the job on time I think that it is unacceptable to make the rest of a team wait while a person finishes his or her job.
Also, my “ideal co-worker” should always be ready to offer his or her help and be supportive. To summarize, I think if a co-worker possesses all of these qualities mentioned above he can make work with him really enjoyable and productive. (314 words)
