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 enjoy studying with my friends. We often study English after school at a cafe because it's a peaceful place. We can concentrate on our exercises, so we always get high grades.
I prefer studying alone. I feel much more concentrated. When I was at school and had group projects we usually went to someone's house.
I never liked studying together with others, because I have my own times, which aren't adaptable with those of others.
when I was studding at university, we were doing together in library or café university .
Usually I study in the church or at the beach in our city
I don't like study with anyone I can't to focus
but if was important I prefer a calm place..
I like to study with my friends online. With my friends, I like to go out to a cafe or a restaurant.
Where do you like to study with friends?
To be honest, I never study with friends.
I always study alone, by myself, and I think studying with friends may distract me.
Studying in coffee shops is a good idea because there is good coffee, cookies (sugar!), etc, but it's expensive. I have a theater group, and we are always meeting in coffee shops to discuss our projects.
