Upon the question that what is the very important skill a person should learn in the world today,
different people have differnt opinions. In my point of view, I perfer to think that communication
is the most impotant skill for almost every person. There are many reasons to support my view.
Firstly, communication is a bridge between people. Nobody is omnipotent; people depend on one
another in their daily lives. We all hope we can be become the person who masters every skills
and can complete every kind work by ourselves. However the real world tells us that this just is a
dream. Therefore, people are interdependant, no can can say that he does not need other people's
help. The society requires cooperation among people. Communication is the link. Communication
is the first step of successful cooperation among people. By communication, we exchange of
thoughts and information, and get other people understand our needs and ideas. For example, in a
company, big or small, a manager always has to communicate with his boss, coleagues and
subordinates.
Secondly, communication can help us keep friendship and make new friends. Friends need to
communicate to each other, so that they know each other's needs and feelings. Indeed, the most
important qualities of a friend is communication and understanding. If you are a good
communicator, it is very easy for you to keep your friendship and make new friends. If you do not
communicate with your friends, you will not only feel lonely, but also can eventually loss your
friends.
From all above, I think that communacation is the most important skill for people to survive in this
society. I hope everybody works hard to get the skill.
Nowadays people say that we have stepped into "The Information Age", therefore computer skills
are one of the most important skills in today's society. Being able to operate a computer is an
advanced technique and can increase one’s work efficiency and simplify many works.
Using a computer can help people do many complex works. You can calculate a very complex
arithmetic problem. Many arithmetic problems in engineering are too complex to work out by
hands. A computer can do these works conveniently and easily. You can also look for some
references from a foreign country from a computer if you login in the Internet. You can save your
documents in some discs on a computer no matter how large they are and you do not need to take
a lot of paper.
Using a computer can increase your work efficiency. With its help, you can book plane tickets
and hotel rooms for a business trip. You can easily compile your files in a shorter time and retrive
them whenever you need. If you are an engineer, you can control machines automatically with the
help of a computer. The products are more precise than those controlled by hands and the product
efficiency is higher. You can save a lot of time to consider other things and this is important for
your success.
If you can operate a computer, you can sit down in your own home and control distant work. All
you need to do is pressing some keys. With the help of a computer, your work can be simplified.
You also can use a computer to communicate with your friends by e-mails and it is quicker and
safer than ordinary means.
There are many other skills a person should learn to be successful, but I think that being able to
operating a computer is the most important.
With the development of science and technology, the world is no longer what it used to be.
Everyone should master one or more skills in order to survive and succeed in the world. As far as
I am concerned, the most important skill one should learn is to teach himself or herself.
To begin with, no one can depend on a teacher in the whole life. In high school and university,
several teachers can tcach you physics, chemistry, biology and so on. But when you find a job and
leave school, few people will tell you how to solve the problem you encounter in the job. What
you can do is to read books and find the answers yourself. If you do not have the ability to teach
yourself, it is difficult to survive in the world.
In addition, what we have learned in the school is probably not enough. Nowadays new science
and technology develop very rapidly. Suppose you are majored in computer. As we all know, the
computer science is changing fast. New idea and concept may appear everyday. Once you stop
studying, you may probably leave behind and even lose your job.
Last but not least, keeping studying can lead you to a high salary job. If you understand the most
advanced knowledge, lots of companies may hire you, because the more science one can master,
the higher productivity he will have. Do you have a dream to have a good job? If you do, learn
how to tcach yourself right now.
So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion that teaching himself or
herself is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today.
(This is a 5 point essay)
Two years ago, if you ask a person what do they think is the most important skill to be successful
in the world, you will get a variety of answers. If you ask a person who is about my age the same
question, persumably, eight out of ten will give the same answer as mine-computer skill is the
most important skill a person should learn.
Why I think computer skill is the most important skill? First, computer skills such as operating a
word processing software package or typing are convenient and efficient. For example, I am
writing this essay by using a computer. If I do not have computer skill, I can not make a
composition as quickly as possible; maybe I can only write on paper. Another vivid example is
that many colleges is offering online classes for student to choose, which means the students can
study in the comfort of their homes and acquire their knowledge by means of using computer at
home.
Secondly, computers is an important tool for teaching and communicating between teachers and
students. Recently, school teachers have an increasingly demand on students to turning in their
papers or school works, and the teachers can score on line. If the teacher has a assignment, they
just send an e-mail to the students. In addtion, many young people use computers to communicate
with each other. They use online chat rooms, ICQs and messengers. They even play online games
through the internet. Therefore computer skills are important for students to communicate with
their teachers and fellow students.
Last but not least, computer skill help a person to find a good job after they graduate. As we open
newspapers and search for a good job, we can find that computer skill is a required skill for nearly
every job. Indeed, whether you work as a receptionest, salesperson, warehouse manager and
office clerk, you have to operate a computer and therefore computer skills is absolutely
neccessary for these jobs and most others.
Although there are many other important skills for a person to succeed in today's world, judging
from what I have mentioned above, I think my point of view is solid and sound. Having computer
skills is one of the most important thing in today's world.
The one skill I would choose for success is tolerance. I do not define success economically; I
define success socially. To succeed in the future, we will need to be tolerant of one another's
background, opinions, and lifestyle.
The world is becoming increasingly mobile. We no longer are able to live and work only with
people who went to the same schools and went to the same parties as our parents and we did.
Now, we will work directly with people whose backgrounds are completely different from ours.
We must be tolerant of these differences as they must be tolerant of us if we are to live and work
together amiably.
We cannot stop speaking to people or start a war just because there is a difference in opinion. We
must learn to be tolerant of one another and respect these differences in opinion. We have to find
a common ground, an idea we can both agree on. Once we have agreement on one subject, it will
be easier to settle differences in other subjects.
Different people have different lifestyles. We must accept these differences even though they
may be different than what we are used to. Women can live on their own, hold important jobs,
and raise children on their own. Men can stay home and take care of children. Social roles can
change and we must be tolerant of these changes.
To succeed socially, you must get use to varieties. You must be tolerant of all peoples regardless
of their background, their opinions, or their lifestyles.
