There are so many things you need team work to do for instance, if you were on a basketball team and there were seconds left and you were swinging the ball around.  If someone on your team wasn’t paying attention they could lose the game because they dropped the ball or let the other team steal it. But if you had teamwork and everyone was paying attention you could win the game.

Even though sports is something you really need teamwork for, you also need some teamwork when you are in a job.  In a job you might have to work together with someone to write a paper. If you don’t do it together it could be really hard to do.  But if you did it together you if would be easier than spreading butter on toast. Also, if your boss sees you have teamwork you would likely get a raise. 

That’s not all; everyone uses teamwork in their daily life.  When I am folding cloths and my sister helps me and we get the job done faster.  In addition if I were making a project for school, I would likely have a friend help therefore we would get the work done twice as fast.  Finally if I needed to unload groceries from the car it would be a lot easier with a buddy to help me carry the bags in.

A skill you need your whole life is teamwork and the book Into the Ravine teaches reader why.  We all need teamwork in our lives to succeed.
