What do you learn from working in a team?
Candidato
I have learned a lot from working A-Team, especially on how to cooperate with others from different backgrounds. I used to work with a lot of Dutch people who have really different communication styles than Chinese, so I had to learn to adapt to them in order to make some progress.

What do you dislike about teamwork?
Candidato
I think the teamwork could cause some autonomy infringement or you know, interference of individuality because when you work in a team you have to prioritize the team goals instead of your personal goals in most of occasions.

× usually people have different tech skills and techniques as well as personalities and for each unique traits that they can contribute to different things to the team.
✓ usually people have different tech skills and techniques as well as personalities and each unique trait that they can contribute to different things to the team.
The phrase 'for each unique traits' is incorrect because 'each' should be followed by a singular noun. 'Traits' is plural, so it should be 'each unique trait'. This ensures subject-verb agreement and correct singular/plural usage.
× And you can achieve bigger things than you do things alone.
✓ And you can achieve bigger things than you can alone.
The original sentence is awkward and redundant with 'do things' repeated unnecessarily. Simplifying to 'than you can alone' improves clarity and sentence structure.
× During my university, uh teamwork is a quite important quality to have, so that we had lots of uh projects that require three and four people to do it together.
✓ During my university studies, teamwork was quite an important quality to have, so we had lots of projects that required three or four people to do them together.
'During my university' is incomplete; it should be 'During my university studies'. 'Is a quite important' is incorrect; 'was quite an important' fits past tense. 'Require three and four people' should be 'required three or four people'. Also, 'do it together' should be 'do them together' to agree with plural 'projects'.
× I have learned a lot from working A-Team, especially on how to cooperate with others from different backgrounds.
✓ I have learned a lot from working in a team, especially how to cooperate with others from different backgrounds.
The phrase 'working A-Team' is missing the preposition 'in'. Also, 'especially on how to cooperate' is better as 'especially how to cooperate' without 'on'.
× I used to work with a lot of Dutch people who have really different communication styles than Chinese, so I had to learn to adapt to them in order to make some progress.
✓ I used to work with a lot of Dutch people who have really different communication styles than Chinese people, so I had to learn to adapt to them in order to make some progress.
The comparison 'than Chinese' is incomplete; it should be 'than Chinese people' to clarify the group being compared.
× I think the teamwork could cause some autonomy infringement or you know, interference of individuality because when you work in a team you have to prioritize the team goals instead of your personal goals in most of occasions.
✓ I think teamwork could cause some infringement of autonomy or, you know, interference with individuality because when you work in a team you have to prioritize the team goals instead of your personal goals on most occasions.
'Autonomy infringement' is better expressed as 'infringement of autonomy'. 'Interference of individuality' should be 'interference with individuality'. Also, 'in most of occasions' should be 'on most occasions'.
