【正确答案】[范文]
From the picture given above, we can observe that a clerk is communicating with one of his colleagues. "I have a note from my doctor saying that I'm allergic to criticism."1 It sounds a little bit absurd that somebody is allergic to criticism. But it indeed indicates that some people are reluctant or even afraid to admit their errors pointed out by others.2
Those who don't accept others' criticism cannot make progress, let alone succeed.3 In the first place, no one is perfect and nobody can do everything. We need others' advice, whether sharp or mild, to get ahead. If others' criticism makes sense, we should accept their criticism and change our point of view. Meanwhile, accepting criticism can make you patient, open-minded and friendly. Therefore, criticism provides us an opposite angle to see ourselves and make wise choices and gain friendship as a result. Just as the old saying goes, "Bitter medicine cures sickness; unpalatable advice benefits conduct."
Don't reject the pertinent criticism, which can help improve ourselves and treat our friends by heart. Only in this way can we succeed.4

【答案解析】 1．开篇简要描述漫画内容及漫画说明文字。
2．按照作文要求点出漫画中的言论的荒谬性，揭示文章主题。
3．第二段段首指出不接受批评的害处，紧接着从两方面加以分析，条理清晰，论证有力。
4．末段进行总结，深化主题。
从上面所给图片中我们可以看到，一位职员正和他的同事交谈着：“我有医生的诊断条，说我对批评过敏”。一个人对批评过敏这件事听起来有点荒谬。然而它的确表明有些人不乐意甚至惧怕承认他人指出自己的错误。
那些不接受他人批评的人是不会进步的，更别提成功了。首先，人无完人，没有人是万事通。我们需要听取他人的建议，不管(建议)是尖刻的还是温和的，从而取得进步。倘若他人的批评是有道理的，我们就应当听从并改变原有的错误观点。与此同时，接受批评会使你变得耐心、虚心又友善。因此，批评之言为我们提供了一个相反的角度来看待自己，做出合理选择，最终还可以收获友谊。正如古语所言：“良药苦口利于病，忠言逆耳利于行。”
切勿拒绝那些中肯的批评，它们能帮助我们提升自我，用心对待朋友。只有这样我们才能成功。
1. It sounds a little bit absurd that somebody is allergic to criticism. But it indeed indicates that some people are reluctant or even afraid to admit their errors pointed out by others.
这两句采用了复杂的句式表达：第一句含有that引导的主语从句；第二句含有that引导的宾语从句，还有过去分词短语pointed out by others，在句中作定语。
2．第二段首句点明主题，从两个方面加以论述，分别用In the first place，Meanwhile引出；同时用Therefore, Just as等连接上下文，使论证更有逻辑性。
3. Just as the old saying goes, "Bitter medicine cures sickness; unpalatable advice benefits conduct."此句恰当引用中国古语“良药苦口利于病，忠言逆耳利于行”，既切合主题，又增加了文采。
