Model answer 2
Introduction:
I have done many group activities when I was in school such as playing games like cricket and volleyball.
What was it?
But here I am going to talk about a group activity, which was making a model for participating in an environment fair.
This fair is held every year in December in my home town.
This model was on the topic of pollution.
With whom you did it ?
We were a team of four students – Mohit, Rohan, Ravi and I.
It was very difficult to collect ideas for the model, but our teacher, Mrs Promilla helped us.
We collected all data from different sources like the internet, library, magazines and so on.
We presented all three types of pollution – air, water and noise pollution – on thermocol.
In this project we showed the causes, effects and ways to control pollution.
We had to speak turn wise on our model.
When you did it?
I remember I was very afraid to speak.
But my other friends gave me the confidence. I felt very good that I was part of that team.
I spoke very well that time.
Getting over my glossophobia was an accomplishment for me.
We won the first prize in this competition.
The judges specially mentioned that the first prize was mainly because of the verbal explanation of the model.
This fair was covered by the local cable TV and so many people of the neighbourhood congratulated me the next day.
Our photograph was also there in the local newspaper Jag Baani.
Our school principal also appreciated us.
How you felt about it?
I cannot forget that day.
All four of us were on cloud nine on that day.
