My class formed a team to take part in it. At first, our team was in trouble. We chose the topic "The Power of Teamwork". We planned to write the speech together, but no one wanted to take the lead. Li Ming said he was busy with his math exam, and Wang Fang said she was not good at writing. Finally, I had to start the work alone, but I felt very stressed. Then our English teacher, Miss Zhang, gave us some advice. She told us to divide the work according to our strengths. She said, "Li Ming is good at logic, so he can help organize the ideas. Wang Fang is good at speaking, so she can practice the presentation. And you are good at writing, so you can write the speech." We followed her advice. After that, things got much better. Li Ming organized the ideas clearly. Wang Fang practiced hard and her pronunciation was perfect. I wrote the speech carefully. When we had disagreements, we discussed them calmly and found the best solution. We worked closely for two weeks and finally got the first prize in the competition. This experience taught me a lot.

Li Ming said he was busy with his math exam, and Wang Fang said she was not good at writing. Finally, I had to start the work alone, but I felt very stressed. Then our English teacher, Miss Zhang, gave us some advice. She told us to divide the work according to our strengths. She said, "Li Ming is good at logic, so he can help organize the ideas. Wang Fang is good at speaking, so she can practice the presentation. And you are good at writing, so you can write the speech." We followed her advice. After that, things got much better.
