Cara: So for our group project, do you want to start this week?

Selim: Yeah, I want to start early so we have enough time.

Robert: Me too, but I've got a big maths project too.

Cara: How about we meet first to plan what we're going to do? Just for an hour.

Robert: Good idea, Cara.

Cara: When are you free?

Robert: I can always do mornings before 10.

Cara: Robert … Uh …

Selim: I'm sleeping before 10!

Robert: OK! OK, so when are you two free?

Cara: Wednesdays are good for me. But not very early, please!

Selim: I can't do the mornings on Wednesdays but I have 3 till 5 free.

Robert: I can do 4 o'clock, just before my maths class.

Cara: Great, 4 then. Where shall we meet?

Selim: The library?

Robert: I don't know. The library isn't a good place for a planning meeting as we can't talk in there.

Cara: How about the university café? It's near the library. We can talk in there. And eat cake.

Selim: Cake is good.

Robert: OK, so Wednesday at the café. I need to leave at ten to five to go to my maths class.

Cara: No problem. Planning will take less than an hour.

Selim: OK! See you Wednesday for cake.

Robert and Cara: See you, Selim!

Hi, I usually study with friends at home. I always invite them to come to my home, it is quieter and there is a study room. Regards,

i like studying in my house with friend. Because i think that is the best place where we can focus on studying. Its quieter than coffee or anywhere. We can exchange easily with each other about exercise without making noise.

I normally study at my home in the evenings alone. my friends and me sometimes do combine studies at my home or their home on weekends. we occasionally make presentation , project work in the study room.

I prefer study lonely. With my friends I like to go out to have fun.

I don't like studying with friends because that makes me leaving my studying and enjoy with my friends. I prefer studying lonely at my room.

I like to study in hostel with friends because in hostel every friend were there so won't any problem to take time for coming.. We can enjoy group study in hostel.. we can discuss to everyone if we have a problem with each other.

Actually i like to study in my home to have more concentration and to be more focused

Hi, i usually study alone, in my room. I rarely study with my friends but, when i study with them, we study at my friend's house . Sometimes we study together in the library.

I prefer to study with my friends at home.
