We awoke on a lovely morning.I cooked breakfast outside and we ate comfortably.I very rarely have breakfast at home, let alone a cooked breakfast, but there's just something about having a cooked breakfast when we are away in the caravan(旅行拖车)．

      We decided to go in the direction of St Margaret's Bay today, and had lunch down there after having a drink in “The Coastguard”．My wife and daughter went for a short walk along the front while I sat on the front taking in the sea air.The weather was unbelievably warm—I got a fold­up chair out the back of the car and was quite happy sitting out on the seafront.

     Later we drove up to the National Trust area—“White Cliffs”，where we spent a little time looking around, and enjoyed cakes and a drink in the cafe.I had to say, as National Trust cake goes, this was not up to their usual standards and I was slightly disappointed.

     Before returning to the caravan for tea, I thought it would be a nice idea to try and find a shop that sold cheese made by the Snowdonia Cheese Company.I tried this cheese at a stand at the NEC Exhibition just a week or so ago and really like it.After searching the company website for suppliers, somewhere in a lay­by, we found a place listed for Dover, so we went off in search.Unfortunately, the store was out of stock so we decided to ring around.

      It was still warm enough to eat tea out in the awning(凉篷)，after cooking outside for the second time today on the Cadac.We sat out in the awning for a while after our meal, before eventually retiring into the van to watch TV.

       Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date? Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days?

        One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent, It is parents' job to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This, to me, requires teamwork. For example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills, while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However, in today's society, we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a one­sided thing. According to a report ，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact, and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.

        Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn't matter if you have a small company or a large company: if you  have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I have noticed that with the current economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone down greatly.It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standards fly_right_out_of_the_window. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the workforce.

       As you can see, we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you believe teamwork is really losing ground in today's society? I think it is.
