Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why?
Original:
I prefer to work in the group. The first reason is we can discuss the topic with my classmates which can help us acquire more ideas. Secondly, this can help me to avoid my deficiency. For instance, the teacher asked me and Joy who is my deskmate to make a ten minutes speech. We must vote a person to talk and another to find information. At first,I was going to talk.I was very worried about it. Thus, my deskmate instead of me doing this task, I just need to search some information.

Edited:
I prefer to work in a group. In that way, I can discuss the topic with my classmates, which can help us acquire more ideas, and I can avoid doing things I’m not good at. For instance, my teacher recently asked me and Joy, who is my desk mate, to make a ten-minute speech. One of us had to talk and the other had to find information. At first, I was going to talk, but I was very worried about it, so my desk mate decided to do this task instead of me. Now I just need to search for some information.

Edited:
When I am away, I miss everything about my home, specially my mother’s cooking. Since I was in the 8th grade I’ve been having to study until 11pm or 12 am, which makes me feel tired and hungry. My mum cooks food for me every night, which makes me feel moved and happy. When I’m away and I don’t have my mother around I feel really sad.
