Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes towrite a short essay on the topicHandleCriticism and Compliments Properly based on the picture below.You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than200 words. Handle Criticismand Compliments Properly

Whatwe can see from the picture above is that a salesman in an office trying to promote a kind of hearing aid says: “It’s a special hearing aid. It filters out criticism and amplifiescompliments.” Funny though itsounds, it reflects the improper way of handling criticism and compliments,which is not uncommon among some people. Thereis no doubt that criticism can sometimes do harm to people’s confidence anddignity and compliments can beencouraging. However, it is improper, even wrong to simply reject criticismand amplify compliments. On the one hand, criticism has atremendous value for one’s growth and development as a human being,such as helping people to know their defects and adding to one’sself-knowledge, stopping one fromerring,etc. On the other hand, compliments, especially deceptive ones made on purpose, will lead to blind optimism, whichwill hinder one from making right judgments, decisions or choices.

Toconclude, one cannot simply take a negative attitude toward criticism andwelcome compliments excessively. Aproper way is to accept pertinent andbeneficial criticism and refuse insincere compliments.
