參考范文：

As the most evolved creature in this planet，we human beings are in possession of two

kinds of most powerful capability,which are listening and talking. Compared with

talking, more often than not,the significance of listening is way ahead in ourlife.

The mosttypical example of theimportance of talking lies in the exchange among familymembers. When we are accustomed to talking withoutlistening, in the process of which we

might only focus on ourselves, feeling of othersare ignored and even hurt. Without listening, the essentialpassport towards mutual understanding, the relation among ourfamily

members may bit by bit go alienated. Besides,listening can also promote the efficiency of

teamwork and efficiency is of the utmostconsequence in such a fast-tempo society.

Talking is a window through which we conveyourselves , while listening is a door via which we understand eachother . A life without mutual listening is justlike a house without a door. Careful

listening , so at least it seems to me , is anecessity but not a luxury in our daily life as well as inour

work .
