Section 1. How these collaborative skills can be enhanced.

After completing the Self-Evaluation: Collaborative Skills questionnaire, I find

that I cannot offer constructive criticism effectively and do not know how to share

study without cheating. Besides, it is difficult for me to be aware of the needs of an

audience. To enhance these collaboratives skills, I need to make some efforts. First of

all, I think I should be brave to point out the disadvantages of others. Meantime, the

approach used to offer constructive criticism must be suitable. In this case, other

members can accept criticism easily. Secondly, before sharing a study, it is essential to

learn about tasks that can be shared. Furthermore, I must do everything in my own

words. Finally, to know the needs of an audience, I had to do researches in advance. I

also can discuss it with my group. Besides, I think there is another way that asks some

people and collects their answers. Working in a group, we should have enough

collaborative skills. Everyone needs to enhance collaboratives skills through their

efforts.

Section 2. How collaborative working nurture students’ cultural competence.

Collaborative working gives us more chances to communicate with others. In my

opinion, different people have different views. When they become a group, people

will share views with others. In this case, it is the collision of ideas, but also the

collision of cultures. We can learn something new through others’ ideas. Besides,

collaborative working requires a lot from everyone. If we work in a group, we should

keep a friendly relationship with each member, although there are different views on

the same thing. Not only that, we need to contribute to the team. In a group, everyone

needs to give full play to their strengths and make the work of the team more perfect.

What’s more, we can also learn to balance our personal affairs with the work of the

team. Through collaborative work, we can exercise ourselves and increase our self-

confidence at the same time. In a word, collaborative work makes us more excellent.
