答案及解析(反白可见):

l--skills

skill一词为可数名词，所以要用复数形式。

^(a)--to

在a前面加上to。句子中的a new working environment 和 new ways of working 并列充当adapt to的宾语，介词to 在此不可以省略。

ct--affecting或者^affect--that/which

这句话已经有谓语动词are了，所以动词affect可以以现在分词的形式affecting出现，做定语修饰前面的other personal skills；在affect前面加上that或者which，以定语从句的形式修饰other personalskills。

--and

全方面的交际能力应该包括“oral和written”两部分的，而不是其中之一。

5.^when--it

宾语从句中的.谓语动词recognize为及物动词，气后应该接宾语，it在此处指代what they are lookingfor。

--one another 为固定的搭配，意思是“互相，彼此”。

ect--right

right和correct当作“对的，正确的”解的时候为同义词，可以替换使用；但此处right应为“适宜的，合适的”，不可以与correct互换。

ctive--effective

effective意思是“有效的，产生预期效果的”，在此与上下文的意思相吻合；而affective的意思是“情感的，表达感情的”。

ing-listed

这里用listed表被动意义。

--against

nst...可以看作一个固定的搭配，其意思是“根据...打分（评判）”。这个用法好像比较少见。
