Some teachers say students should be organised into groups to study. Others argue
students should be made to study alone. Tell the benefits of each study method. Which
one do you think is more effective?
Some educationists hold the view that studying in groups is better for students while others
believe that studying alone is better. This essay shall delve into the benefits of each study
methods.
There are many benefits of studying in groups. To begin with, when you work with other
students you are able to share your ideas and experiences, and have more time to do this.
For example, if every student spends just two minutes talking individually to the teacher,
the class time is soon finished. However, if students work in groups they can spend much
more time talking to the teacher than just two minutes.
Secondly, when we study in groups this helps students practise negotiation skills like making
a contribution, agreeing or disagreeing with someone and asking a person to give examples
of their point. Finally, we can put forward working in groups as an example of what happens
in real life, in work situations and say that studying in groups in class prepares us for this.
On the other hand, when students study alone then they have no distractions and they can
concentrate better on study. This is especially helpful in subjects like mathematics and
physics. Studying alone also increases the confidence and ability to solve problems on one’s
own. Students become more competitive which is a necessary virtue in the competitive era
of today.
I feel that teachers should mix and match both these methods depending on the subject and
the situation. For boring subjects like history and philosophy students should be organised
into groups but for subjects that need concentration, individual study should be
encouraged. Both methods have own importance and should complement each other rather
than being treated as rivals.
- The advantages brought by the spread of English as a global language will outweigh the disadvantages To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view 68
- Nowadays education quality is very low. Some people think we should encourage our students to evaluate and criticise their teachers. Others believe that it will result in a loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. Discuss on both sides. 56
- Pressure on the school and university students is increasing and students are pushed to hard work when they are young Do you think it is a positive or negative development 69
- Some teachers say students should be organised into groups to study. Others argue students should be made to study alone. Tell the benefits of each study method. Which one do you think is more effective? 61
- Nowadays, people get information through news and papers, but meanwhile are uncertain about the truth of these news. Should we believe the journalists? What qualities should a good journalist or correspondent have? 73
