TOEFL Writing Topic:  In today’s world, it is more important to work quickly and risk making mistakes than to work slowly and make sure that everything is correct.

With the rapid development of technology and our society, productiveness is becoming more and more critical. Not only personal but also factories and companies would also focus to lift efficiency. In this case, I think working quickly with some acceptable mistakes will be better for the present society. The reasons are as follows.

To start with, making mistakes are just unavoidable in reality. I do agree with the saying, “Slow work yields fine products.” However, we can just diminish the fault and will never eliminate them all. Moreover, making mistakes is an essential approach to improve oneself for we are easier to remember one thing if we had fallen because of it. Working swiftly will make many mistakes at the very beginning, but we will never make the same one anymore.

Besides, as I mentioned in the first paragraph, the present world is developing with unprecedented speed and still accelerating. During this era, everyone and every enterprise want to improve their productiveness to meet the continually increasing requirement of work efficiency. For instance, the factories will build machines with higher production. When employing new crews, efficiency is becoming one of the most significant qualities for interviewees. As a programmer, our programs are required to meet the highest operating efficiency even if there are one few seconds difference between a promoted version and the original one. See, the whole of society is deeply requiring productiveness.

In the end, thanks to our present century, technology development allows us to work effectively. There are new generations of machines, mobile equipment, and Internet devices, which make our products and lives much more convenient. Several decades ago, our ancestors still work with their own hands. Stuff couldn’t be transported as fast as we do today, so does information. Nowadays, these limitations do not exist anymore, we are living in the best era ever.

All in all, work quickly doesn’t necessarily mean high mistake rate, but does lead to a higher efficiency that is crucial during our time.
