Describe a team project for study or entertainment

You should say:

  •  When you did it  
  •  Where you did it    
  •  Who you did it with
  •  How you did it
  •  Why you liked it or disliked it   

Sample Answer

Well, when it comes to teamwork, I can only think of a bad memory. I remember when I was a first year student, my teacher asked me and some other students in my class to set up a team project. A girl was assigned to be the leader and we had to prepare a presentation about our university. My teacher thought it would make a great contribution to our friendship, and the whole thing done with the best of intentions. But it turned out to be the worst team project ever.

All of us were freshmen, so my team was essentially a bunch of strangers who I happened to be teamed up with. I didn’t know anything about the others, and they knew nothing about me. Moreover, it was obvious that the leader didn’t have any leadership skill. She didn’t know how to allocate work to individual team members. She always sat on the fence, I mean, she let every member raise their voice but she didn’t know which one would be the best. As a result, she wasn’t able to make any decisions. No one in our team showed any respect for her. They only did what they wanted to do. And I was no exception. I was too busy doing my own thing. In the end, no one did any work and nothing was done. Several weeks later, I was still kicking myself for taking part in such a team project.
