Students, parents and educational professionals are questioning whether is more efficient to assign students to work in groups or alone on some academic works. This topic has become controversial issue among them. It is known that different people have a wide variety of responses to this subject based on their cultural, social or even professional background. However, as far as I concern, I believe that although people socialize working in groups, there are cases that work together is a problem.
To begin with I think that when students are assign to work in large groups they usually lose focus in the activities and instead of finish the project they start talking and playing around. At the and they divided the work and each one does their own fragment of the project. On other words a academic activity that was supposed to be done in group is actually is done by each student alone. As consequence, the final works looks like a 'Frankenstein', a lot of content connected without a good transition, suggesting that the job was made separately.
Another noteworthy aspect that should be mentioned is that sometimes some groups may have members that do not contribute to the task. If the project is complicated and demands time to be finished. Those students that really care about the activity will have to work twice as much, in order to deliver the task in time without the help of all members of the group. In addition, students always try to ride this fact to the professor, they avoid complain about a member of the group to not cause any conflict. This attitude misleads the professor about being god or bad put students to work in groups or alone.
To sum up, I think that work in groups are a positive way to socialize students but due the problem that may occur I prefer to work alone. And the reason for that was what I listed before.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
