Teamwork— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Improve fluency and coherence by removing fillers (uh), using a clear topic sentence, and keeping the answer within 3–4 concise sentences. Add one specific example of teamwork and use linking words (for example, however, because) to connect ideas. Correct grammar (e.g., use plural/singular agreement and correct verb forms).

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy teamwork. At my job as a chemist I often collaborate with colleagues on experiments, and although we sometimes disagree on scientific methods, we discuss our views openly and reach a consensus. For example, last month we redesigned an experiment together, which improved our results.

Gợi ý: Make the response more natural and concise by combining short fragments into complete sentences, removing fillers, and giving one concrete example of a problem you solved as a team. Use linking words like because and so to show cause and effect.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. As a chemist I regularly worked with colleagues and supervisors to solve difficult technical problems. For instance, we once collaborated to troubleshoot contamination in an experiment, which required coordinated testing and sharing of techniques, and eventually we identified the source.

Gợi ý: Focus on a clear topic sentence and provide two specific lessons with brief supporting details. Fix grammar (subject-verb agreement, avoid repeated words) and use linking words such as because and therefore to show reasoning.

Ví dụ: The main lesson I learned is the importance of mutual support. For example, because everyone has different weaknesses, we divide tasks according to strengths, so a colleague good at data analysis handles results while another focuses on lab technique, which makes the team more effective.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid fillers, and give a brief specific example of problematic behaviour and how it affected the team. Offer a short comment on how you would handle such situations to show problem-solving ability.

Ví dụ: I dislike working with teammates who behave disrespectfully or abuse authority. For instance, when someone interrupts others and dominates decisions, it lowers morale and slows progress, so I would address it by discussing the issue privately or raising it in a team meeting to find a solution.

× I do like working as a team, uh, in my, uh, workplace, I have to work as a chemist and I enjoy work with my colleagues.

✓ I do like working as a team. In my workplace, I work as a chemist and I enjoy working with my colleagues.

The original sentence incorrectly uses the base verb 'work' after 'enjoy'; English requires the -ing form after verbs like 'enjoy' (verb + -ing form). Also the sentence run-on was split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: use 'enjoy working' and break long sentences into shorter ones.

× Although that we often have arguments on certain scientific, uh, issues, we usually will discuss it with open minded, so we.

✓ Although we often have arguments about certain scientific issues, we usually discuss them with an open mind, so we resolve them.

'Although that' is incorrect; use 'Although' followed directly by the clause. 'Arguments on' should be 'arguments about'. 'Open minded' needs to be a noun phrase 'an open mind'. 'It' is vague and should agree in number with 'arguments' so use 'them'. The sentence ended abruptly; added 'resolve them' to complete the thought. Structure corrected to make the sentence grammatical and clear.

× Yes, I did. When I was working as a chemist.

✓ Yes, I did when I was working as a chemist.

The original contains a sentence fragment: 'When I was working as a chemist.' is a dependent clause and cannot stand alone. Combining it with the previous sentence eliminates the fragment. Suggestion: attach dependent clauses to main clauses or complete them.

× I have to, uh, work with my colleagues and my supervisors to solve technical issues, and most of them were very difficult to solve because it is a technical problem and we have to work as a team.

✓ I had to work with my colleagues and supervisors to solve technical issues, and most of them were very difficult because they were technical problems and we had to work as a team.

Tense inconsistency: the student begins with present-perfect/modal 'have to' but context refers to past work. Use past tense 'had to' and 'were'. Also 'it is a technical problem' should agree in number with 'issues' so 'they were technical problems'. Changed verb forms to past participle/past where appropriate for consistency.

× The most important things I've learned is to support each other when when they need it.

✓ The most important thing I've learned is to support each other when they need it.

Subject-verb agreement: 'The most important things' (plural) should match 'are', but the intended structure uses singular 'thing' with 'is'. Also 'when when' is duplicated; removed the extra word. 'They need it' is acceptable for pronoun reference to 'each other'. Suggestion: use singular 'thing' to match 'is' or change verb to 'are' if keeping plural.

× And I believe that everyone have their own weaknesses and they have different issues when we solve problems as a team, so we have to use our strength to support them when they need it.

✓ And I believe that everyone has their own weaknesses and that people have different issues when we solve problems as a team, so we have to use our strengths to support them when they need help.

Pronoun and agreement issues: 'everyone have' is incorrect; 'everyone' is singular and takes 'has'. 'Their' is acceptable as singular gender-neutral possessive, but clarity improved by rephrasing 'people have'. 'Strength' should be plural 'strengths' when referring to multiple people. 'Need it' is vague; 'need help' is clearer. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with singular indefinite pronouns and choose plural/singular forms consistently.

× I believe it depends on the personality of the person.

✓ I believe it depends on the person's personality.

The original is grammatical but wordy; using the possessive form 'the person's personality' is more natural. Alternatively, 'depends on the person's personality' corrects the prepositional phrasing to a more idiomatic form. Suggestion: prefer concise possessive constructions.

× Umm, if I have to work with a person who have a very bad, uh, personal behavior towards the others, like they are being rude or abusing their power in a team environment.

✓ If I have to work with a person who has very bad personal behavior towards others, for example being rude or abusing their power in a team environment, it would be difficult.

Subject-verb agreement: 'who have' should be 'who has' because 'person' is singular. 'Personal behavior towards the others' is awkward; use 'behaviour towards others' (no article). 'They are being rude' is acceptable but clearer as 'being rude'. Added a concluding main clause to avoid fragment and improve flow. Suggestion: match verb number to the noun and avoid unnecessary articles.
