原文修改稿

Working Individually or Working in a Team

There are basically two ways to get work done—working individually or working in a team. As to this question of which is preferrable, opinions may vary from person to person. The two ways both have advantages. Working individually grants you freedom to plan at your own will and to solve problems on your own. However, working in a team enables you to discuss with your teammates so that you can learn from each other.

As far as I am concerned, I would like to work in a team. On the one hand, two heads are better than one. With many people in a team, it is sure that I will think of more good ideas. On the other hand, it is likely that I will make some friends.

整體點評

這是一篇很不錯的文章，不僅包含了題目要求的所有要點內容，而且邏輯清晰有層次。文章的過渡自然流暢，有效地使用了語句連接詞(組)，如：as to this question、as far as I am concerned等等。作者運用了很多高級詞匯和短語，如：vary、grant、on one's own、enable等；同時，作者還注意了句式的多樣化，如：用as引導的原因狀語從句“Working individually grants your freedom, as you can plan at your own will and you can solve problems on your own”；介詞結構作狀語“With many people in a team, it is sure that I will think of more good ideas”等等，體現了作者良好的語言功底。如果作者對細節的處理(如標點符號的使用等)再用心一些就更好了。

難點分析

1. 此處逗號改成破折號更好一些。因為后面的“working individually”和“working in a team” 是對“There are basically two ways to get work done”的具體說明，用破折號表示進一步的解釋說明。

2. 此處的respectively與前面的both語意重復，可刪去respectively或both。

3. 這句話中，and前后并列的成分不清晰，有兩種修改方法：① Working individually grants you freedom, as you can plan at your own will and solve problems on your own. ② Working individually grants you freedom to plan at your own will and to solve problems on your own.

4. 此處的標點符號使用不當，逗號應改為句號。因為這句話表意已經完整，“with結構”引導一個新句子，對前面內容做進一步的說明。

5. 此處標點符號的使用又出了問題，分號應改為句號。前文“One the one hand...”的意思已經表達完整，后面的句子用“On the other hand...”引導另一個方面，表達與前句不同的意義，所以應另起一句。

參考范文

Working Individually or Working in a Team

There are basically two ways to get work done. One is to work individually; the other is to work in a team. Both ways have advantages. Working alone allows people to have more freedom in deciding when to start the work and how to do the work. 1In addition, working individually can exercise people's abilities to solve problems on their own.

Working in a team can benefit people too. In a team, people can learn from each other and help each other, 2which will cultivate people's team work spirit as well as communication skills. Also, many difficult problems can be addressed in a better and effective way by group discussions.

Personally, 3I am in support of working in a team. In addition to the above-mentioned reasons, working in a team may lessen the workload because it can be shared by several people.

參考句型

1. In addition: 另外，加之。相當于副詞，可替換besides，通常用于對前文的補充。例：You need money and time; in addition, you need diligence. (你需要金錢和時間，另外，你還需要努力。)與之意義相近的詞組還有in addition to，意思是“除……之外(還)”。其中to是介詞，后面一般接名詞或動名詞(組)，例：In addition to apples you asked for, I bought you some oranges. (除了你要的蘋果，我還給你買了些橘子。)

2. Which引導的非限定性定語從句。值得注意的是，“which”在這里指代的是前面的整個句子“people can learn from each other and help each other”，這是which在非限定性定語從句中十分常見的一種用法。

3. 表達“贊成、支持”時，除了可以使用“agree to”、“support”外，還可以使用詞組“be in support of”。這句話還可以說成“I am in favor of working in a team”或者“I prefer to work in a team”。
