I used to think cooperating waste of time, but one thing changes my mind．One day the scientific teacher asked us to do some researches and handed in the conclusion．That took me lots of time to do the research but I still couldn’t finished it．So I tried to cooperate with others．We shared our researches and then made the completely conclusion soon．
So I think cooperating not only saves our times, but also helps us to promote the communication with others． Although in the world today very few things can be successfully done by just one person, cooperating can benefit from both or all sides．
