Interview tips needed for Equity Research.

I completed my work from home Equity Research internship this month. However, it was an internship just for the namesake. I did nothing. My mentor literally took at least 10-15 days to respond to my emails. Now, very soon I'll be appearing for a few job interviews for an equity analyst, where for sure these questions will be thrown at me:

Question 1) What did you do during your internship? Question 2) What project did you work on? (probably they will ask the name of the project).

I have thought of an answer for the first question: " I was a sell-side Equity Research intern. During the initial days, I was given lots of previous research reports of companies of various industries, and I used to scrutinize them. I got to know the nuances of writing a research report. I used to collect macroeconomic, industry-specific and company specific information, and do some market research, so that the analyst could prepare his research report. Later on, I was given the task of preparing the revenue models of companies X, Y, Z. Towards the end of the internship, I prepared Discounted Cash Flow models of companies A, B, C, D; and Dividend Discount Models of non-bank financial institutions N1, N2."

Please tell me: 1. Whether my first answer is acceptable or not? Do I need to make any changes to it? 2. How am I supposed to answer the second question? I'm clueless about how to answer that. 3. What's a revenue model, do you have its template?

I would be really grateful if you could help me out :)
