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!

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.

I like to study in the library alone because separate study is a good choice all your focus will be on studying. But sometimes friends insist on studying together so, fortunately, there is a separate section inside the library thanks to University management where students can study in a group. With the help of group study, everyone shares information that helps everyone to improve their study level.

I like to study with friends at the private room where we can talk freely and do whatever we want for our studying and making projects with some activities that we need.
