discuss on topic-how do you work more efficently? by a group/ on your own? Note: this is a dicussion between me and my english partner, we both are chinese and prepare for the BEC Vantage Exam. Topic: How do you work more efficiently? by a group/on your own? Linnie: Febbie F: How do you work more efficiently? By a group/on your own? L: I like working by my own, because it is more easily to concentrate on your work and then you can’t be easily distracted by others. F: but if you work on your own, it’s not convenient for you to communicate with others, if you just come up with some ideas, you can’t share with others so that you may not sure whether your ideas are feasible or not. And especially, when you meet some difficulty, how to solve it as soon as possible? But all these considered above is not problem in the way of working by a group. L: Working on my own, it doesn’t mean that I don’t communicate with others. If I met some difficulty, I can then think clearly what really the problem is and ask someone else for help. F: but when the project is huge, it’s difficult for one person to complete it in a limited time. L: if the time is limited, it really impractical. But if the time is abundant, I can divide task clearly into different parts. Then finish it one by one methodically. F: but in reality, the project may relate to several fields, specialization of labor can facilitate the efficiency of the project. L: Yeah, you are right. I will choose to work in a team in that case. F: In a word, if the case-load is not very large, and the duty is very clear. Then maybe it is more efficient to finish it by yourself. On the contrary, if the project is huge, we’d better to finish it by a group. After all, “more hands do easy work”. L: I can’t agree with you more.
