TOEFL ESSAY, THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS :D Some students prefer to study alone. Others prefer to study with a group of students. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. During the high school and more esencial in the University it is important fo find which way of study fits more with your personality. It is very relative and it depends of personal taste. In my opinion, I prefer to study with a group. I will try to explain why study with a group is better than study alone. First of all, a group of people gives you motivation, energy and a lot of support. They explain you when you have doubts and they cheer you up when you are close to give up. When you are alone and you feel stuck with some topic it is very easy to get depressed or nervous. This kind of feelings betray your confidence and then if you do not feel sure about yourself it is very easy to fail an exam. Secondly, when you study with other people is a team work where you can teach what you know and you learn what you do not know. Sometimes, when you explain something you reinforce this knowledge in your brain so, you never loose. Alone it is impossible to have a retroalimentation or feedback, it is just you and the books. Thirdly, it is much more funny to study with a group. Sometimes is easier to get distract but if you have confidence with that people it will be posible to find time to study hard and have a break. When you are alone you get bored and sometimes if you sleep less than eight hours you can get sleep on the books and never realize it. To sum up, study with a group has a lot of advantages. In my point of view, the knowledge is absorved faster and better when you study with a group than when you study by yourself.
