Preparation

Transcript

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!

I prefer studying alone. I couldn't concentrate if someone is nearby me.

I like to study with friends in the empty rooms at my university's dorm. These are the rooms for students' self-study or discussing in groups. You can bring some drinks and snacks here but you must keep the space clean before you leave.

I prefer a closed separate room for effective studying, because you can dedicated your attention to exercise without distraction. But also nice place to studying is a park or garden, exactly if them rather is fine.

I like to study at home, maybe with my friends at my home, or at their homes.

I like to study with my firends in the school library. During break time we usually go to library. It is a suitable place for study. There are a lot of books and some computers. There is also a wifi connection that can be used freely.

Yes of course! I usually study alone when I need understand the matter and after that I study together with friends so we can share ideas.
