● Well, for one, we can help each other


understand the material better by explaining
concepts to one another. Plus, it might make
studying more enjoyable.
● I think it is much better than the history course
we took last semester.
● I see your point, but maybe we should talk to the
professor first.
● No way. I would much rather work on my own.
● Well, last month I tried to write an essay in the
student lounge and it was too noisy.

● Still, think of all the positive effects. We could get

● I think it is much more enjoyable to study on your
own since you can listen to the music you like.
● Well, do you think it would be better to work in a
group?
● I get your point. But we could set some ground
rules to stay focused and ensure we cover all the
necessary topics.
● I have mixed feelings about it. Let’s talk to our
advisor and see if we can switch rooms.

● Sounds like a plan. Let’s call everyone in class
and see who wants to work together.
● True, there are drawbacks, but I believe the
positives outweigh the negatives.
● It is much harder to write an essay on your own
than it is with a group.
● Would you mind if I ask the professor to
supervise? We need a responsible leader.

That sounds reasonable. If we can keep the group small and


focused, it might be helpful after all.

working in groups.

● It’s probably best if we each have a role. I will be
in charge of the research. What would you want
to do?
● Would you like to invite anyone in particular to
work with us?
● Could you check the requirements again? I want
to make sure we don’t miss anything.

Summarize the conversation you just had in 75 seconds.

I just had a conversation with my friend about the possibility of


working with a small group to prepare for an upcoming biology
exam. We agreed that one of the benefits would be that we could
help each other understand complex concepts. However, there
would be some drawbacks. For example, the group could get
distracted, and we end up going off-topic. So we decided to lay
some ground rules to avoid this situation.

Well, there are two flight attendants walking down the
street at a very brisk pace. They are both carrying
briefcases and small black coolers. One strange thing about
this picture is they have on the exact same outfit. They have
on black skirt suits with black tights and black heels. They
have their hair up and it looks like blue scarves around their
neck. I also notice something else around the neck on the
woman to the left, probably an ID badge for her to gain
access where she works. I think these flight attendants are
headed to the airplane so that they can get it ready for the
next flight. Their briefcases are probably carrying a change
of clothes for when they land. That’s just a guess, though. I
imagine that the small black cooler bags contain a packed
lunch so that when they have their break, they can enjoy a
snack or even a small meal before they take care of the
passengers on the plane again. They are walking between
two white lines with white bear claws painted on the
pavement. That must mean that this is a safe walking zone
on the runway. It’s pretty interesting actually, I have never
seen this kind of walkway before.
