                           SAMPLE ANSWER:

                       Today, I am going to share with you my experience I had as a member of a team/of
                       the time when I disagreed with my friend.

                       As a student, I have to engage in a variety of teamwork projects. As a result, having
                       disagreements with other team members is inevitable.

                       For topic "Describe an experience you had as a member of a team":

                       We were supposed to gather a team of 3 to 4 people to work on a  simulation
                       project in our management class. The simulation worked like this: each group in

                       our class would run a shoe production company on the internet. We had to make
                       decisions as the simulation market changed and each group’s performance would
                       be  compared  weekly.  At  the  end  of  the  semester,  we  would  have  to  prepare  a
                       presentation on our simulation project.

                       We decided to meet each other once a week to work on the project; sometimes we
                       would discuss urgent matters over e-mails. Despite the fact that we were at daggers
                                                                                      nd
                       drawn many times, we successfully led our company to the 2  place overall in our
                       class, so that was not a bad effort.

                       If you have ever had a chance of working in a team to make a decision, you would

                       know how difficult it was to make sure everyone was pulling together. Running a
                       simulative company was not as easy as we thought. A wrong decision on pricing
                       would significantly affect our profit. 3 of us fought for days on pricing decisions.
                       My  friends  wanted  our  products  to  be  sold  at  a  premium  while  I  preferred  a
                       medium  price,  targeting  the  mid-end  market.  After  carefully  reviewing  the
