Some people prefer one-on-one lessons, while others prefer groups. Discuss both views, and give your opinion.

A highly controversial issue today relates to whether personal

lessons

are more desirable for people’s learning than

group

lessons

or whether receiving lectures in a

group

is more

favorable

than studying with only tutors. In

this

essay, I am going to examine both points of view and

then

explain why I believe that studying with teachers without other students is the better way to acquire knowledge. There are some people who claim private lectures are more useful than

group

lectures.

This

is because

lessons

can be tailored to satisfy an individual learner’s needs.

For instance

, at school, pupils need to listen to what they have already known, which many think is a waste of time. It is

also

possible to say learners need not hesitate to ask teachers to explain more about what they cannot understand. A number of teachers in Japan say there are some students who cannot ask questions during the class surrounded by

others

, hampering their progress in any field.

On the other hand

, it is often claimed that receiving

lessons

with

others

is preferable to studying without other learners.

This

is because studying in a

group

contributes to making people more considerate of those around them. In

group

lessons

, there may be some cases where they need to assist

others

needing special support, and

this

situation cultivates the spirit of altruism. A

second

point is that they can become more creative by exchanging their opinions with

others

. According to Masayoshi Son, a famous Japanese entrepreneur, one of the requisites businessmen should have is creativity, without which they could not survive. Before entering the business world, students need to acquire

this

quality. In conclusion, both points have their own merits. On balance,

however

, I feel that taking

lessons

without other learners is more desirable.

This

is because it is a time-efficient way to enable people to obtain better academic grades, which many consider indispensable for their future careers.
