Dialogue

Nicole: Hi, Jacob. Do you want to study together for the exam?

Jacob: Study together? Well…

Nicole: Which do you prefer, studying alone or studying with other people?

Jacob: Actually, I prefer studying by myself. I can focus on studying.

Nicole: Oh, so you can concentrate better.

Jacob: Exactly. I like being with other people, but if I study by myself, I can finish more work. What about you, Nicole?

Nicole: I prefer to study with others. It’s more fun and interesting. Studying by myself is sometimes boring. And I can ask questions if I need to.

Jacob: That’s true.

Nicole: Also, my friends can quiz me. That helps me remember important information.

Jacob: Ah, that makes sense.

Nicole: And by helping each other, you can finish the work more quickly!

Jacob: You know what? That sounds great! Let’s do it.
