Some people think that a person improves intellectual skills better when doing group activities. To what extent do you agree? Use specific details and examples to explain your view.

These days, some people state that

group

activities are the wiser ways for people to improve intellectual skills.

This

term concludes skills to express one’s ideas, understanding them, and these techniques lead to being intelligent. I believe that implementing

group

work

will not improve intellectual skills, and performing independent

work

would help better for one to improve these techniques.

Firstly

, people who have a shy personality would disadvantage from

group

activities.The reason why we carry out

group

activities is for the person to freely express their ideas and debate about them along with their teammates.

However

,

this

basic purpose may not

work

in

few

Suggestion

fewer

circumstances.

For example

, if the team has been chosen where one

child

is very self-opinionated and one

child

very timid,

group

work

cannot be done as the

first

child

will only express oneself’s ideas, which might be wrong or correct. In

this

context, the

group

work

would have failed as teammates wouldn’t have cooperated well

thus

might learn wrong facts.

However

, self opinionated

child

could do the tasks well, even if they are assigned to an individual task, as they will always express their ideas well regardless whether they are on a team or not.

On the contrary

, children who are timid and shy to express their ideas would disadvantage from

group

activities as if all the ideas are out, they would simply not express their thoughts, and if

this

gets repeated, it might

also

lead to a decrease in intellectual skills.

Additionally

,

group

activity’s results only depend on its members. There are various people in a society, and you might not be lucky to always have good teammates who have amazing ideas. There are people who always play without giving any ideas, and those who have responsibility will have to cover all the works, even for the teammates who doesn’t

work

at all. In these situations,

group

activities are not the best ideas as teammates with no responsibility wouldn’t think, which will fail to improve intellectual skills, and despite those who have responsibility would have improved intellectual skills, they would stress because of “playing “ teammates. When doing individual

work

,

this

problem simply would disappear as everyone must do their

work

, think themselves, and speak for themselves. To conclude, due to these two reasons, I partially believe that performing

group

tasks would not improve intellectual skills, and doing individual tasks would help better.
