Studying in groups is helpful to our study. It is becoming more and more popular in class and has many advantages (优点). For example we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups.
I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor. I had a really hard time with it . Once in class, the teacher asked us to discuss questions with each other. Because I was very shy I could not do it like what he told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to talk with someone else bravely. Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice and I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed at all. At last I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excired I was!
Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics leaming any more. With my classmales’ help, I get more confidence and improve (改进) myself in many ways. So let's study more in groups.
What did the writer’s physics teacher encourage him to do in class
Why did the writer feel excited
Do you like studying in groups or by yourself Why
