Working in Group or Working Independently
In our life, we usually have to cope with some big plans that make things difficult for us to decide which working method would bring about more success. Some people are interested in working in a group, while others enjoy working independently as an individual. From my perspective, I steadfastly believe that working in group is much more better than working independently.
Firstly, working efficiency is what I put in my priority. It can’t be denied that working in a group enables us to work more effectively. We can exchange ideas with members of the group. As the result, the problem will be approached from many different aspects and different points of views, which makes it much easier to solve. Moreover, sharing the duty is also an important part of working in a group. Because the workload is shared among the group members, it takes shorter time to complete the tasks. For example, I joined a group of four to do an experiment for my Physics class last month. My duty was to oversee all stages of the experiments to make sure nothing would go wrong, while one of my friends took care of recording a video and two other people conducted the experiment and explained how to do every step of it. Because we co-operated effectively and were the first group to complete the task, we got the highest grade in our class: 10. This example is a clear explanation for the saying: “two heads are better than one”. Secondly, working in a group offers a golden chance to improve our knowledge. Learning from friends has been considered one of the best ways to make ourselves better. Other members of the group may have many different ideas which some of them are definitely good for us to learn. If we make some mistakes on the problem, other people can correct them for us and vice versa. As a result, it allows us learn more things from others and encourage us to try more as well. More significantly, we can improve a lot of skills, such as teamwork skills, critical thinking skills,
