Describe a time when you worked in a team | Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2
Describe a time when you worked in a team. You should say:
And explain how you felt about being part of this team.
The term "teamwork" may now become a haunting word to many students from all levels, especially to a university student like me so when this question pops up, I can think of many interesting teamwork experiences. But I would like to point to the time when I had a team project in the International Trade Policy course in which we had to research the effect of a trade agreement.
I have acknowledged the importance of our teammates in teamwork, in such a painful way because some of my team projects had gone to the dogs because of "not-so-helpful" teammates - just an euphemism. So this time I chose to work with my best friends in university – a group of nine people. And bingo! My choice of teammates immediately proved to be the best choice ever because the team project for this course was really complicated.
Normally we would do a project like this with qualitative methods based on logic and facts. However, our lecturer expressed her clear preference for projects done by quantitative methods, which meant that we had to conduct the research based on numbers and econometrics - what a nightmare for all of us!
But with this team, I felt like living in a safe haven because they genuinely set their heart on making it through the situation, which became a motivation for me to do my utmost with them because I am not that kind of irresponsible teammate. Together, they instructed me on data analysis and econometrics that we had not been taught before and I also took advantage of my writing skills for IELTS Task 1 to interpret the numerical data and come to the final remarks.
During the process, gratitude just overwhelmed my mind because of how knowledgeable and helpful my teammates were. No wonder we completed the project with flying colors, making all of us feel a real sense of relief and accomplishment.
After each teamwork experience like this, the lesson of the need for responsible teammates and self-devotion will be even more deeply ingrained in my mind.
I'd like to talk about a team that I was involved in during my university's final term. There were four of us on the team, and our task was to identify the differences in the lifestyle of people from northern and southern Vietnam. Our objective was to produce a report and give a presentation.
The first thing we did was doing a lot of research to gather in-depth information. Then, we met up to organize the information we have, make an outline for our report and our presentation before adding graphs and photos to make our point clearer and more attractive. These discussions took a lot of time, though. We had very different personalities as well as working styles, and we held very different opinions. Therefore, it took us a while to figure out the best way to cooperate and reach a consensus. In the end, we were able to hand in a detailed and well-organized report, and our group presentation also went really well. Everyone in our class gave us a big round of applause.
It was really a memorable experience for all of us, and I felt a real sense of accomplishment when we handed in our report and delivered our presentation. But what I was most proud of was how well our team worked together. There were still some minor tiffs between some of the team members, but overall I think each member showed a good level of responsibility and teamwork.
