Band 6.5

Some people think that it is more effective for students to study in groups, while others believe that it’s better for them to study alone. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

#people #students #study #groups #it’s
In recent years there has been an uprise in creating
study
groups
 for
students
. Some state that learning as a group is better
while
 others claim
that is
 better to
study
 alone. In my view, it is better to
study
 together. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both views and will explain my opinion.
Firstly
, studying in a group can be good for academic achievement. Other
students
 can help you with brainstorming
while
 learning for an upcoming test, trade
study
 tips, compare answers or even help writing an assignment.
For example
, having many
students
 give you different ideas from their earlier projects could help you form a richer and well-thought essay.
Furthermore
, being part of a
study
 squad can be beneficial for pupils' emotional states. Test season in school can be quite stressful especially when you are engaging in it alone, many
people
 tend to neglect their friends and family and focus mainly on school.
Consequently
, it leads to poor social skills and even harms your mental health. Experts claim that experiencing difficult times on your own can cause depression, so I think that creating an environment where other
students
 get to socialize and share their feelings can be great emotional support for one another.
On the other hand
, studying in
groups
 might not be right for everyone. Many
students
 are having trouble with a lack of concentration
while
 learning. Diagnosed
students
 with ADD cannot remain focused
while
 there is a great noise.
Therefore
, learning in
groups
 can even be bad for these specific
people
.
While
 it is true that some
people
 with concentration issues can't
study
 in
groups
, I must concede and say that sometimes learning with other
people
 as a person with ADD can even improve your concentration.
For instance
, learning
while
 there is noise around you can help you practice your problem and make you a better student. In conclusion,
although
 studying alone is better for some pupils, I believe that studying in
groups
 is better than studying on your own, based on academic and emotional reasons.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
