INTERVIEW（１）

Some people prefer to study individually. Others, however, prefer to study in a group.
State which you would prefer and explain why. (Response Time:45 seconds)


I would prefer to study individually for two reasons.
Firstly, I can concentrate on my tasks and study at my own pace.
If I study in a group, it's likely that I'm distracted by group members' talk or questions.
If I study alone, I can avoid such distractions and use my study time efficiently.
Secondly, studying alone gives a good opportunity to improve my skills to solve problems by myself.
For example, when I face a difficult math problem, I may find out a more efficient search strategy.
Studying by myself helps me cultivate a spirit of self-reliance (instead of becoming over-reliance on others).
