Writing exercise

When I graduated and I started to work, I don’t like team working . There are a big problem for me to communicate with others and it’s waste me a long time. I wound working individually rather than communicate with others. I think working individually can help me improve work ability quickly, if you finish a project by yourself you will make more progress. However, Everyone has his own strength and weakness, cooperation is important on work. Team working can finish a successful project in a short time. When we meet a trouble, we can discuss together and solve the problem. Sometimes if you don’t have good idea to design, your partner can give you some inspiration. There are a important things for me in team working that you need a norm keep the work an an orderly manner and it can avoid more unnecessary argue.
