The group should stay together. Don't allow any member to lag behind or get too far ahead. Keep an eye on members' physical, mental and emotional state. Be aware of each other - and look after each other. 

 

lag behind 脫隊

例子:He's lagging behind a bit - I think we'd better wait for him to catch us up.

keep an eye on sth. 留意;留神
 

例子:Will you keep your eye on my suitcase while I go to get the tickets?
我去買車票時請幫我留意一下手提箱好嗎?

1. 情緒(上)的,情感(上)的

例子:My doctor said the problem was more emotional than physical.
