Having good co-workers makes our professional
life
 meaningful while bad colleagues can make our
life
 miserable. Since people spend a considerable amount of their time in their workplaces, characteristics of their co-workers greatly affect the level of job satisfaction. Friendly behaviour,
team
 spirit, helpfulness and professionalism are some important qualities that make someone a great colleague.
To begin
 with, friendly behaviours of an employee would make things easier for other workers. When someone joins a company, the
first
 thing he looks for among his colleagues is the friendly behaviours.
Second
,
team
 spirit is another important aspect the make worker's
life
 easier in a company. Without it, some employees would suffer greatly to produce the expected output.
This
 is why companies these days look for
this
 trait among the employees.
Third
, helpfulness of an employee makes the
life
 of other employees lot easier. A helpful colleague would share his knowledge, help finish a project and amiable to others.
For instance
, during my three years professional
life
, I have always liked the people who have raised their helping hands whenever needed. My experience taught me that those are good people to rely on.
Finally
, the professionalism is a quality that drives people to work closely to attain a common goal.
Thus
Suggestion
This
 those sorts of people would value others opinion, criticism and feedback. They would
also
 advise junior employees and would guide them in difficult times. Alfred Stuart, a former colleague of mine, had a great professionalism and
that is
 why he was reliable, a great
team
 lead and a person to seek advice. All things considered, good qualities like friendliness, helpful mentality, professional attitude and
team
 spirit among co-workers make our working environment healthy and enhances our job satisfaction.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
