If you are going to mention where you need improvement, it is very important to include how you are going to improve. This is similar to asking what is your weakness.

如果你要提及需要改进的地方，包括如何提高你的能力是非常重要的，这类似于问你的缺点是什么。

If you mention a weakness, show them what steps you are taking to improve in that area. Finally, you must be certain it is ok to expose an area for improvement. I don't recommend doing this on your first review. After the first review, you will have a better idea if it will help to critique yourself. 

如果你提到了一个弱点，那就给他们看你将采取哪些措施来改进那一块。
最后，你必须确定公开一个改进的区域是可行的，我不建议你在第一次考核中就这样做，在第一次考核之后，如果它能帮助你自我评判，那么你会有一个更好的想法。

"I feel I need to be more technical. I realized how important it is to know different computer applications. In order to improve, I have researched some classes I can take, and I even bought a couple of books. In the next 3 months, I am going to concentrate on learning these new tools." 

我觉得我需要更技术性的，我意识到了解不同的计算机应用程序是多么重要，为了改进，我研究了一些课程，甚至还买了几本书，在接下来的3个月里，我将专注于学习这些新工具。

This is a good answer because it shows the manager that you are capable of finding your own faults. It also has a step by step process with a timeline on how you are going to improve. 

这是一个很好的答案，因为它告诉经理你有能力找到自己的不足，并且在你如何改进的过程中它也有一步步进行的时间安排。

Timeline is important because it shows that you are not going to procrastinate. If someone says, I'm going to read this book, you don't know when they are going to read it. It is much better when someone says they will read this book within 2 weeks. 

时间截带点很重要，因为它表明你不会拖延，如果有人说，我要读这本书，你不知道他们什么时候会读这本书，如果有人说他们会在两周内读完这本书，那就更好了。

Here is one more example. 这里还有一个例子。

"An area I would like to improve is in planning. I plan all my work and I complete everything on time, but I feel if I do a better job at planning, I can be more efficient with my time. In order to work on this, I created a checklist of everything I should think about before starting a project. Using this checklist will make me think of potential obstacles that I wouldn't normally think about, verify that I am not forgetting something, and keep me on track to complete ahead of time. I am going to do this and see how much it improves my efficiency for the next 2 projects. Afterwards, I'll report how much it helped or didn't help." 

我想改善的一个领域是计划，我计划了我的所有的工作，并且按时完成所有的事情，但是我觉得如果我在规划方面做得更好，我可以更有效率的利用我的时间。为了解决这个问题，在开始一个项目之前，我创建了一个我应该考虑的所有事情的清单。使用这个清单会让我想到我通常不会想到的潜在的障碍，证明我没有忘记一些事情，并让我提前完成，我将会这样做，看看它将在多大程度上提高我接下来2个项目的工作效率，之后，我会报告它有多少帮助或者没有帮助。
