What does the first speaker do?

Match the topic words to their meanings.

At a summer science course, Nam and his team built a small model bridge from paper. Their first model collapsed under a light load. Nam felt embarrassed because he had promised that it would be strong. The instructor asked the team to examine the folds rather than blame one person. They compared two designs and kept notes of each test. Their second bridge held more weight, though it was not the strongest in the course. Nam has kept the notebook because it reminds him that a failed attempt can provide useful evidence. He has become more willing to ask questions. The most memorable part was learning to revise a plan with others, not winning a prize.
