Well, let me think about this for a moment... Ah, yes. I'd like to talk about a colleague of mine, Sarah, who I believe was an exemplary team member. We worked together about two years ago in a marketing team at my previous job.

Sarah was, um, quite remarkable in many ways. We were tasked with launching a new product, which involved a complex mix of market research, creative strategy, and, of course, tight deadlines. The project was, to say the least, challenging and demanded not only professional skills but also exceptional teamwork.

What made Sarah stand out was her, uh, collaborative spirit. She always listened intently to everyone's ideas, and, you know, she had this knack for building on them in a way that made everyone feel valued. I remember this one time when the team was, kind of, stuck on a creative issue. Sarah not only proposed a solution but also meticulously explained how it aligned with each team member's suggestions. It was

impressive, really. But it wasn't just her teamwork skills that made her great. Sarah was also incredibly dedicated. She often stayed late to ensure tasks were completed to the highest standard, and her attention to detail was, well, nothing short of amazing. Her dedication was contagious; it motivated the rest of us to up our game.

In conclusion, I think Sarah was a great team member because she combined excellent professional skills with a genuinely collaborative attitude and a strong work ethic. Working with her was, honestly, a learning experience and something I still value highly.

Dưới đây là danh sách câu hỏi và câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3 chủ đề Describe a great team member you worked with. Tham khảo ngay bạn nhé!

1. What qualities should a leader have?

Well, when we talk about the qualities a leader should possess, it's important to consider a few key aspects. Firstly, effective communication is crucial. For instance, a leader who can clearly convey their vision and goals inspires their team. Another vital characteristic is empathy. Like, a leader who understands their team's concerns and feelings, like a teenager being understanding towards their friends, can build trust. So, these qualities are like the foundation of effective leadership.

• Possess (v): Sở hữu
• Crucial (adj): Quan trọng
• Convey (v): Truyền đạt
• Empathy (n): Đồng cảm
• Foundation (n): Nền tảng

2. What should people do without a good team leader?

I must say It can be challenging, but there are still ways to thrive. First and foremost, each individual should take the initiative and step up to fill the leadership gap. For example, in a school project, a student can assume a leadership role and coordinate tasks if no one else does. Additionally, effective communication among team members becomes even more crucial. This means sharing ideas and concerns openly to ensure everyone is on the same page. Lastly, people should self-motivated and stay focused on their goals. So, in the absence of a good leader, proactive teamwork and communication are essential.

• Challenging (adj): Thử thách
• Assume (v): Giả sử
• Coordinate (v): Điều phối
• Absence (n): Sự vắng mặt
• Proactive (adj): Chủ động

3. Why do some people dislike teamwork?

There are several underlying reasons to explain this actually. One key factor is personal preference. For instance, a teenager might prefer working alone on a school project because they feel more in control and can work at their own pace. Another reason could be past negative experiences, such as a bad encounter with a group project where team members didn't contribute equally. This can lead to a reluctance to engage in teamwork. Additionally, differing work styles and communication issues can also be a source of discomfort. Imagine if colleagues have conflicting approaches to solve a task, it can create tension. So, various factors can contribute to a dislike for teamwork, and it's essential to understand and address these issues to foster better collaboration.

• Underlying (adj): Cơ bản
• Encounter (n): Đầu vào
• Reluctance (n): Miễn cưỡng
• Conflicting (adj): Xung đột
• Tension (n): Căng thẳng

4. Do you think young people are good team players?

I suppose it's not solely determined by age but rather by individual characteristics and experiences. Some people excel in teamwork due to their open-mindedness and adaptability, traits that can be valuable in a team setting. For example, a young person might easily collaborate with peers on a school project. However, others may need more development in communication and leadership skills, which can come with time and experience. So, it's a mix of factors that influence their ability to work effectively in teams.

• Solely (adv): Một cách duy nhất
• Adaptability (n): Sự thích nghi
• Influence (n): Ảnh hưởng

5. Does a team’s best player make a good leader?

In many cases, the star player of a team may not necessarily translate into an effective leader. Leadership extends beyond individual prowess; it requires excellent communication and motivational skills. A player's proficiency in the game might not correlate with the ability to inspire and guide others. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that while outstanding athletes may dominate on the field, their leadership skills might not be as remarkable. Therefore, being a standout player does not automatically equate to being a competent team leader.

• Beyond (prep): Vượt quá
• Correlate (v): Tương quan
• Dominate (v): Thống trị
• Standout (adj): Nổi bật
• Competent (adj): Có thẩm quyền

6. What are the advantages of working as part of a team?

The benefits of teamwork are multifaceted. Collaboration enhances efficiency, as diverse perspectives contribute to innovative problem-solving. Furthermore, shared responsibilities alleviate individual stress, fostering a supportive work environment. Moreover, team members can complement each other's skills, creating a synergy that elevates the overall performance.

• Multifaceted (adj): Nhiều mặt
• Alleviate (v): Làm dịu
• Complement (v): Bổ sung
• Synergy (n): Sức mạnh tổng hợp
• Elevate (v): Nâng cao
