When Japanese high school students prepare for exams or complete assignments, they usually study alone to achieve better results. But recently, some have chosen to study in groups with friends.
　　　Why do some students prefer group study? Studying in a group can make learning more enjoyable and fun. By talking about topics with friends, students can learn different ideas and better understand difficult subjects. Group study also encourages teamwork, where students can help each other with tough problems, making the learning process more active. Additionally, studying with friends can provide motivation and support, helping students stay focused.
　　　While group study can be beneficial in many ways, some disadvantages need to be considered. Students may sometimes lose concentration because they might spend time chatting instead of studying. Also, not everyone in the group may have the same level of understanding or effort, which could slow down the progress of others.
