Band 7

Your professor has assigned the class a final project. However, each student is free to choose who they will work with. If you had to work on this kind of project, would you rather: Work alone Work with classmates Work with a tutor

People often say that two heads are better than one, but in my experience, I am always more productive if I
work
 by myself. If I were working on a
school
project
, I personally would rather
work
 alone than with classmates or a tutor. There are two reasons for
this
, which I will discuss in the following paragraphs. For one, I prefer working alone on projects because
this
 allows me to
work
 at my own pace. When working with a team or a mentor, I must adjust to other people’s schedules. There are meetings to plan and tasks to delegate, which takes a lot of time. But, when I
work
 by myself, I can do the
work
 when I am motivated and inspired to do it. I can draw from personal experience to highlight
this
 perspective. Once I had a
school
project
 in biology to do with a group of four people. We were all very busy students, with part-time jobs and extra-curricular activities. It was almost impossible to schedule a time for all of us to meet. Because of
this
, we got started too late. Each of our parts of the
project
 was disconnected and thrown together, and ultimately our overall score was low because we didn’t have time to
work
 on the
project
. If I had just done the whole
project
 myself, I know I would have received a better grade. For
this
 reason, working alone is better for me because I can
work
 according to my own timetable. The
second
 reason I prefer to
work
 by myself on projects is that everyone creates a different level of quality in their
work
 for the group. Sometimes when working with classmates, a few of them are lazier than I am. I always want to do the best job I can, so it is better for me to
work
 alone.
For example
, I was working on a presentation with schoolmates in high
school
 once, and two of the students in the group didn’t do their share of the
work
. Ultimately, I had to do my part and their parts as well. It would have been better and easier for me to just do all the
work
 myself than to be frustrated and wait until the
last
 minute for my team to let me down. Because I always give 100
percent

show examples
 on a
project
, and not everyone else does, it is just better for me to
work
 by myself. In conclusion, if I were working on a
school
project
, I would rather
work
 alone. Working by myself allows me to go at my own pace, and it
also
 allows me to do my best quality
work
 without having to depend on others for my grade.
