（一）预测范文

As is vividly depicted in the picture, wearing the same T-shirt and staff card, four colleagues are standing in their office with a computer and a cup on a desk. The implication of the cartoon is that teamwork is vital for achieving success in the harsh reality.

Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. It is impossible for anyone to finish a task all by himself. Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on teamwork. In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of teamwork is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess.

Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take some measures to enhance the sense of teamwork in our society. Only in this way can we obtain success and only in this way can our world become more harmonious for people tolive in.
