　　最近朋友圈刷屏的《創(chuàng)造101》可謂火到一塌糊涂，然鵝，現(xiàn)實(shí)中如果給你拋頭露面擔(dān)當(dāng)大任的機(jī)會(huì)，你真的愿意“C位出道”嗎?在團(tuán)隊(duì)活動(dòng)或項(xiàng)目中，你究竟更愿意充當(dāng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者角色，還是佛系打個(gè)醬油淡然飄過呢?我們來看一篇比較簡單、適合剛?cè)腴T托福童鞋備考訓(xùn)練的托福獨(dú)立口語真題：Do you prefer to be a leading or supporting member in a group project?

　　【高分范文回答】

　　I prefer to be a leading member in a group project.

　　The first reason is that it places you in the spotlight. Some people may believe that its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. In my opinion, attention is better than being ignored. Furthermore, when you have something to lose, you will perform better. Few can remember the men in the trenches, but many remember the men leading their fellow men to achieve great things.

　　Second, one of the most important reasons for becoming the leader in a group is the ability to make a difference. Leaders make decisions that have far-reaching ramifications for a group larger than themselves. Followers are at the mercy of their leaders and do not have this ability. If you have a dream of your own that you can't achieve without the help of a lot of people, you'll need leadership skills to get them behind you.

　　我喜歡成為一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)項(xiàng)目的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)成員。第一個(gè)原因是你在聚光燈下。有些人可能認(rèn)為自己的缺點(diǎn)大于優(yōu)點(diǎn)。在我看來，注意力比被忽視要好。此外，當(dāng)你關(guān)心的時(shí)候，你會(huì)表現(xiàn)得更好。很少有人記得無名小卒，但許多人記得領(lǐng)導(dǎo)他們的同胞取得偉大成就的人。其次，成為一個(gè)群體中領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的最重要的原因之一就是有能力做出改變。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者做出決定對一個(gè)比自己大的群體有深遠(yuǎn)的影響。追隨者們受制于他們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，沒有這種能力。如果你有夢想，你自己的，你不能沒有很多人的幫助下實(shí)現(xiàn)的，你需要領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力，讓他們在你的身后。
