People have different styles of studying.

人们有不同的学习方式。

Some prefer the solitude of studying alone, while others thrive on the social interaction that comes from studying in a group.

有些人更倾向于独自学习，而另一些人则喜欢在群体中学习的社交互动。

Certain subjects, as well, lend themselves more easily to one style versus the other.

某些科目，以及，借给自己更容易一种风格与其他。

In many ways the choice between individual and group study comes down to whether one enjoys the presence of others while studying, or finds that the more people involved in the conversation the greater the distraction.

在许多方面，个体与群体学习的选择归结为是否有人在学习时会喜欢别人的存在，或者发现更多的人参与到谈话中，更大的分心。

All in all, I prefer group study for two primary reasons.

所有的，我更喜欢小组学习的主要原因。

First, group study allows for a social element that makes studying fun rather than arduous.

首先，群体研究允许一个社会因素，使学习乐趣而不是费力。

If I sit alone, my mind often becomes distracted, and I easily lose focus.

如果我独自坐着，我的心常常变得分散注意力，我容易失去焦点。

When I am working with a group, however, the social dynamics keeps me constantly engaged in the studying process.

然而，当我与一组工作时，社会动力使我不断地从事研究过程中。

For example, while I was studying at Oxford, I was working with a cohort of six other international students on a group project.

例如，当我在牛津学习时，我在一个小组项目上与其他六名国际学生一起工作。

Had I had to work on this project individually, it would have been boring, and I would not have put much effort into it.

如果我不得不单独在这个项目上工作，那就太无聊了，我也不会投入太多精力去做这个项目的工作。

However, given the fact that each person in our cohort was from a different culture and country, working together was an exploration of different worldviews and philosophies of study, which made it an enjoyable exercise.

然而，鉴于我们的队列每个人都来自不同的文化和国家，一起工作是不同的世界观和哲学研究的一个探索，它是一种愉快的锻炼。

I walked away from the project knowing more about my classmates lives, families and methods of working, as well as my own.

我离开这个项目，了解我的同学们的生活、家庭和工作方法，以及我自己的生活方式。

A second reason I prefer studying in a group is that I am able to clarify ideas by bouncing them off of the other members of the group.

我更喜欢在一个群体中学习的另一个原因是，我能够通过对小组其他成员的弹跳来澄清想法。

For instance, at law school we regularly asked to identify the potential actions for a case, as well as defenses that the accused might raise.

例如，在法学院，我们定期要求，以确定潜在的行动的情况下，以及防御，被告可能会提高。

Working alone, I am able to identify perhaps eighty percent or so of the claims and defenses in the assignment.

单独工作时，我可以在任务中识别出百分之八十个左右的要求和防御能力。

When I work with a few of my classmates, however, we usually are able to clearly identify all of the salient claims and defenses, and joke around while doing it.

当我和我的几个同学一起工作时，我们通常能够清楚地识别所有的突出的要求和防御，并且在做它的时候开玩笑。

Different minds think and interpret differently which leads to a broader range of answers.

不同的思维和不同的解释，导致一个更广泛的答案。

In summary, I prefer studying in a group setting because studying in a group incorporates a social element to studying that makes it more enjoyable, and working in a group allows me to identify more solutions than I would be able to alone.

总之，我喜欢研究在一组设置因为研究组采用社交元素研究，使得它更愉快，和一组工作让我找出更多的解决方案会比我能独自。

In life, one generally has to be able to work with others in an effective manner, and studying in a group is an easy way to hone this skill.

在生活中，人们通常都能有效地与他人合作，而学习在一个群体中是一个简单的方法来磨练这个技能。
