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!

Language level

A1 Elementary

I tried to study with one of my friends, but I wasn't able to do it, maybe because I'm very individualist and my approach to learning subjects is highly personal.

When I was at school, we used to study maths in mosque which was the nearest place for all students who did together. But, when I came to university it changed. Then we used to study a campus which was the nearest place to our faculty. Now I don't have enough time to get out with my friends. I just study by my own and the roof of my room is only the place I can study. I miss you all my classmates!

My mistakes! I really apologize, ... who studied together ... the only place I can study under of it. If I have another, please reply me. Regards

I don't like studying with my friend

I don't like study with friends or in a group. From my language experience every group where I've gone are noisy, laizy or don't able to focus enough to work or project.

I always study With My Friends in my house. I like to study in my house because nobody brother us

I like to study in house or classroom.

I have difficult to understand the voice of Cara and Robert. What do you think about my opinion?

Same here, It's getting hard to understand what Cara is talking

I would like to study in my room without anyone's disturbance
