Writing exercise

Last week I went to Phuket with my team. It was not a wonderful team activity. Because the arrangement was confused.

The first one is when our flight was arrived, we should take one bus to the hotel and this bus need go and back for 4 times.Ā 

The second one is the company want to save money, so 3 days in Phuket we changed 2 hotels. When we left the first one hotel we need stay in the hotelā€™s lobby to waiting the second hotelā€™s bus for 2 hours. Itā€™s all about the imperfect details.Ā 

The third one is, we want to go to night market to have fun, but there were 8 people followed include my boss. I think it was not a good moment for show the other side for your boss.

I donā€™t like team activity, I think group activity should be in 4people. Because itā€™s hard to take care of different peopleā€™s idea. And I donā€™t like being late and waiting.

Revised

Last week I went to Phuket with my team. It was not a wonderful team activity, because the arrangement wasĀ confusing.

The first oneĀ issue wasĀ is when our flight arrived, and we should have taken one bus to the hotel all together,Ā butĀ insteadĀ this bus needed go and back forthĀ 4 times, which was inconvenient.Ā 

The second issue is that the company want to save money, so for 3 days in Phuket we changed hotels twice. When we left the first hotel, we neededĀ to stay in the hotelā€™s lobby, waiting for the second hotelā€™s bus for 2 hours. Itā€™s all about the imperfect details.

The third issue was that we want to go to the night market to have fun, but we were 8 people going including my boss. I think it was not a good wayĀ to show another side of ourselvesĀ toĀ our boss.

I donā€™t like teamĀ activities, I think group activities should be in 4people teams or less, Ā because itā€™s hard to take care of so many different peopleā€™s ideas, and I donā€™t like being late orĀ waiting around for otherĀ people.
