Why I like Study Group

I like study groups for several reasons. First of all,

Studying can be a boring activity. I feel better when I
study with other people. We share knowledge to solve a
problem and divide the tasks fairly. In addition, a study
group helps me stay on a structured schedule. I usually
cancel other unnecessary activities because of this
schedule. When I am alone, I waste time, but with a group,
we start on time and focus on our work. Finally, a study
group makes me part of a team. The teamwork teaches
each member of the team to be responsible for his/her job.
I’m sure it will be beneficial for my future. For these
reasons, I think a study group is a good idea.

My Ideal Job

I love my job at a private bank because of the suitable

working hours, reasonable payment, and friendly
environment. For one thing, the working hours are suitable
with my class schedule. I work from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm
and I am free on Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, I can
join evening classes on the weekends in a private
university. Next, the payment is okay for now. I make two
million rupiahs more than the minimum wage in my area.
Therefore, I can manage my income and save a little
money for may study. Best of all, the people I work with
are friendly. My friends in the same section are helpful.
My manager is kind and tolerant. In brief, I will keep this
job for a few more years.
