It’s a great way of showing a group of people that you appreciate how well they
work together.When you visit any other department, you could always say it to them
to show that they are a great team. “Worked as a team” means a team getting things
done as a groupsmoothly and sharing out the workload. When a group of people “works

area in a situation. In this sentence, to “apply his abilities to judgement” means
that the person uses hitheirs experiences, based on his skills and abilitiesskills
or knoweldgeknowledge, to make a judgement. Another common example phrase is that
people often say is that, “Fresh fresh graduates always find it hard to apply their
knowledge to in practice”..” This is because their experience is so just rooted

knowledge. Is thatit clear? Can you come ou upt with similar some more examples?

pulled it off. The word “painstaking” is just a way of saying that extreme putting
all the effort was put in during the process. A synonym for “painstaking” is “hard
