Preparation
Transcript
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!
Good
Studying with friends is not a good idea .
I think, the best option for studying with friends in special place, for example language school. At this place you have a special atmosphere without additional distraction. In public place it's too noise. At the same time, I like study English at home with my wife during daily routine. We try to speak, when we have breakfast, cleaning the apartment etc.
I prefer studying alone, but, if it is necessary, I can study anything with my friends or colleagues.
I prefer to study in the evenings when my daughter sleeps.
i prefer studying in a quiet place, where i can also have conversations about differents topics.
I usually prefer to study alone at library so that i can focus better on my work. I get distracted easily.
By the way some part of this conversation was difficult for me. I didn't understand some expression while listening.
Did you difficult it too?
Actually, I am really keen on studying with my friends at the coffee shop.
I don't like studying with friends
