I had visited Tesco for this integrated project. The aim of this integrated project is to provide us the knowledge of interpreting sustainability in various ways. The learning experience that I have gathered from this project is to maintain good relationship with my team members. As this project requires us to be in group of five members, I have learned that team work is a very important key to produce a high quality work. Each team member in my group did a really good job in contributing equal ideas and opinions in order for us to complete the project. We developed an increased level of bonding throughout this whole process. My team and I managed to solve few difficulties that we were facing. For instance, at the beginning we had some awkward moment as this was our first project as a team. Luckily, we managed to overcome it by acquiring time to get to know each other and knowing a bit of our backgrounds and experiences which was related to this task. I make sure that everyone was included in making decisions about how to proceed as a group. We even appointed a group leader to manage our timing for meetings and to check on us on our progress. 

　　　　The Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities that I have gained in this whole process are communication skills, interpersonal skills and digital literacy. I have improved in my way of communication to other people better. Throughout this group task, I kept an open mind and had proper understanding of the project requirements. I used various ways to interact with different types of people in different situations. For example, when I was in Tesco, I was polite enough to ask questions to the staffs there regarding about this project. I portrayed proper body language, suitable usage of English language and good attitude when I communicate with my team members and the employees in Tesco. To be an effective team member, I practice active listening in group meetings and ask relevant questions if I am having any doubts to avoid any misinterpretations of information. Besides that, I have also obtained a good interpersonal skill. Interpersonal skills are the life skills that we use to interact with other people in daily life. Being assertive in my team is important to avoid any conflicts and to build good relationship among team members. My team does work systematically and we allocate different parts of the group project. I will ask my members to help me if I have any uncertainty about my part of the project. To prevent errors and mistakes to occur, I ensure that I listen and later on summarize in my own words about the conversation my team was having. This is to make sure that I deliver concise and clear product in the end. In addition, I got exposed to digital literacy skills. For this project, we were required to create a webpage. We had some difficulties in creating the webpage as we have never created one before. Fortunately, we managed to create the website using the help of the internet. We used the steps from the internet to create the layout of webpage and uploaded all the necessary elements. Through this way, I was able to acquire the skills to be creative and imaginative in creating the layout of webpage. 

　　　　The learning experiences that I have benefited through this project will help me in future. For instance, the ability to communicate with others. Before this, I was a shy person and had a hard time to interact but after this project I managed to overcome my weakness. I contributed ideas and gave my opinions to the group.  Through teamwork, I can be more productive and deliver better results. My team members had share their unique knowledge and qualities which is really useful for me in the future. I had learned how to brainstorm and do researches before executing my tasks. This project has a combination of analytic and experiential learning which is a key to leadership skills. Good leaders are good listeners that hear others’ opinions and give their views in a way that is constructive. My leadership qualities have enhanced and this has enabled me to solve problems. Thus, in future I would be able to lead a group of people in achieving our goals. In the emerging world of digital, I have acquired the tech-savvy skills to communicate online and display my creativity. For example, in my future workplace, I would be able to attract clients without even interacting with them face-to-face. Online technology is an important tool for an organization to promote their businesses which will increase the profitability of a company. Therefore, visiting Tesco for this integrated project has been beneficial to me.
