Time to work on your writing skills!

• Write a short story about the most exciting project you had during your internship in 50 words.
• Write what you like about it and explain why
• Give two reasons why that specific project was so exciting and explain them using examples
• Compare this project with the worst project you had
• Use signal words

Example

Currently , I am working on project x. This is by far my worst project I ever had. It also has me connected with one of the worst companies. In comparasion to  project x, project Y  was much nicer. What I like about it is that I could be more free and use my creativity.
