Do you work in teams at school? I often do. I enjoy teamwork because sharing ideas excites me. Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. Here are step-by-step tips for smoother teamwork.

Know the goals Ensure everyone understands the project’s goals. Check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions if unclear. There’s a popular saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.”

Pick roles Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team’s idea during meetings, and a time-keeper to control the time. There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker. When picking roles, think about what each member is good at or enjoys doing.

Divide the work For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn’t always do the same task. It’s good to try new things, even if they’re difficult!

Make a plan After dividing tasks, create a plan. Use a calendar to list tasks with deadlines. Follow the plan strictly. And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.

Try to be positive and follow the advice above in order. Everything is easier when you’re enjoying yourself in the team.

This term, Jack went to a new school. He was so happy to join the school’s football team.

But he felt unhappy these days! He played together with another boy named Sam as forwards (前锋). That boy never passed the ball to other teammates during a game and always showed off after scoring goals.

The team soon faced their first match. When they played against another team from Western High School, they just lost so quickly!

Jack felt awful. But when he noticed Sam crying in a corner, his anger was replaced by feeling sorry for the boy.

Quietly, he walked to Sam. “One failure doesn’t mean everything. After all, we’ve all tried our best!” Seated face to face, Jack spoke out the words that had been on his mind for a long time, “But I think things might be different if we play as a team.”

Sam nodded. From then on, they practised hard together every day.

Months later, they met that team again. When the game started, Jack exchanged an encouraging nod with Sam. This time, they played as if they were one person! Just a few seconds

before the game was over, Sam got the ball. Seeing Jack in the best position to score, he passed it at once without thinking. Then Jack scored the game-winning goal!

As the teammates excitedly jumped up and gave high-five each other, Sam hugged Jack, “Well done, mate!”

“It was WE who won together!” Jack smiled.

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organised experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.

The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US
