Studying Alone or Studying in a Group
　　Studying habit is a very individual thing. Some people like to study alone, while others prefer to study in a group. Both ways of study have their own advantages. But personally I would rather study alone than study in a group.
　　Firstly, studying alone can help one to digest knowledge that he or she has learned better. One can review the part that he or she did not understand during the class according to their own conditions. Secondly, studying alone will help one to concentrate his or her attention. While, studying in a group can, more or less, disperse one's attention. Thirdly, studying by oneself could cultivate student's independent thinking ability. Through study alone, one has to tackle problems on his or her own which is an exercise for one's thinking ability.
　　Through the above analysis, we could find many advantages of study alone. For example, it could help you absorb knowledge better, focus on your study and cultivate your independent thinking ability. Therefore, if you want to study more efficiently, study by yourself.         (174 words)

自主学习还是集体学习？
　　学习习惯是个很个性化的东西。一些人喜欢自主学习，而另一些人更喜欢集体学习。这两种学习方式都有各自的优点。就我个人观点而言，比集体学习来说，我更倾向于自主学习。
　　第一，自主学习能帮助一个人更好地吸收他或她学的知识。一个人可以根据自己的情况，复习他（她）在上课时没有理解的部分。第二，自主学习有助于一个人集中他（她）的精力。而集体学习或多或少会分散一个人的注意力。第三，自主学习能培养学生的独立思考能力。通过自主学习，一个人必须自己解决问题，这就是一种对思考能力的锻炼。
　　通过以上分析，我们能发现自主学习的许多好处。比如，它能帮助你更好地吸收知识，把精力集中到学习上，以及培养你独立思考的能力。因此，如果你想更有效率地学习，就自己学习吧。
