講義參考答案

　　In my opinion, this picture is calling on us to stop unnecessary teamwork. As you can see in the picture, two men are cooperating to play the flute, with one holding the instrument and the other blowing into it. At first glance, it seems like a perfect example of cooperation. But, is this kind of team work necessary? As we all know, a flute is designed to be played by one person only. To successfully produce beautiful music from a flute, there is a need for the cooperation between the musician’s hands and mouth, but definitely not between two people.

　　Unfortunately, examples like this are not rare in our life. For example, nowadays kids are frequently asked to work in groups. Even in subjects like math and creative writing, which depend on solo flights of thought, kids are often expected to act as committee members. I do think teamwork is something we should value. However, we shouldn’t overuse teamwork. There is no point in playing the flute as the men do in the picture. Let’s work independently when necessary.
