INTERMEDIATE 1—BOOK 3
Teamwork and Leadership in Practice
Written Project
Your classmates and you are going to write the book Teamwork and Leadership in Practice. Each level 
will write a lesson of the book by answering the question from the lesson title. At the end of the module, 
the teacher will put the lessons together to make your book. You will be in charge of writing Lesson 4, 
so you should answer the question: Is it easy to communicate effectively?
The exam has two parts: 
 1. Written Project
 2. Presentation
• Answer the first question of the book you are writing. Intermediate 1 students are in charge of writing 
 Lesson 4.
• Remember: this is your book! It should reflect your experience with the Personal and Professional 
 Development topics studied.
• The written project should attract the readers’ attention! Use pictures, illustrations, diagrams, tables, 
 or any visual aid that can make the book more appealing.
• No book is written without research. Read other books, articles, pieces of news, watch videos, 
 or listen to podcasts that may help you develop the topic. Don’t forget to list all your sources! It’s 
 perfectly OK to quote or to refer to other authors, but it’s not OK to simply copy other people’s work.
The goal of Lesson 4 is to answer the question “Is it easy to communicate effectively?” In order to do 
that, you are going to define effective communication, narrate a personal experience, and then analyze 
the consequences and the lessons learned.
In order to draw a conclusion and answer the question, divide the lesson into four parts. For each part, 
there are questions you should answer. It’s important to have all four parts and to have all questions 
answered in the written project. Watch the PPD video as many times as you need and read the texts in 
the book to help you complete your project.
