Read Para. 1 and answer the question.
What problems does Li Tian bring to the group?
She is always absent from the group meetings and doesn’t finish her paragraph. This slows the whole group down.
“Okay class,” says Ms Liu. “It’s time for our group project. Let’s get to work!” Yi Han is the leader of one group. To her disappointment, a girl named Li Tian in her group is always absent from the group meetings. She did not write the paragraph she was given last time. This slowed the whole group down.
Yi Han considers telling Ms Liu about these problems, but she doesn’t want to get Li Tian into trouble. Therefore, she decides to talk to Li Tian and find out what the problem is. She says, “Hi, Li Tian. I’ve noticed that you are not working with the others. Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Sample:Teamwork in Our Group
I was the leader of one group when we did a group project. One member was always absent from our group meetings and failed to finish his work. It slowed our group down.
Later I talked with him patiently. I found he was afraid his ideas sounded silly. I encouraged him to share his thoughts. When there is a problem, it is better to talk it out and find ways to solve it.
Finally, he took part in our work actively and we finished the project well.
