Have you ever made soup at home? It's pretty easy to do. One of my favourite is chicken tortilla (玉米薄饼) soup. It's a kind of Mexican (墨西哥的) soup that has beans,chicken and some other ingredients (原料).
I make the soup often,so I know the recipe well and it tastes the same every time.
But there was one time when I didn't have one of the most important ingredients. I planned to just make the soup without that ingredient. I thought one ingredient wouldn't make a big difference (有影响).
When I tasted it later,it still tasted all right — I could eat it,but it wasn't quite the same. I was sure that it would be better if I followed the recipe exactly (精确地).
It is the same in your lives. When you work in groups at school,you can think of each member of the group as an ingredient in the soup. If an "ingredient" isn't there,or isn't doing his or her job well,the "soup" won't be right. Remember the story of the soup next time you have to work in a group with your classmates.
