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!

I enjoy studying with friends because we can exchange opinions and share information. Sometimes, I ask my friends about topics I don't understand, but I often prefer studying alone. I feel comfortable when studying by myself, as I can discover new information independently. I often look for resources on the internet since I rarely read books.

I enjoyed study in quiet place. It doesn't matter either in Library or House. It's very rare for me to study in Library.

In a reserved room, I like it because we can talk freely there, and there’s a big screen for projections.

Yes, I do. I usually prefer to study with my friends in a quiet place as a library, but most of the time I enjoy study alone.

I study alone, so I always study in my room on a desk. I know that studying with friends is beneficial, but it often leads to distractions and time loss.

Yes, I like to study with my friend but not all the times. I prefer study alone, then I review with my friend.

We usually went to a quiet place in the campus for studying and discussing at my school days.

I was studying with my friends sometimes at home or in a cafe. I had a lot of friends that I studied with them. I love those days very much and I kiss for those days.

I like study in a library with friends. When we have homeworks, we often meet us in a library for doing our homeworks. we meet us when we have a free time. But, i often study alone for doing somes homeworks at home.
