If a professor wants students to learn as much as possible about a project in a short period of time, is it better to work in a group or is it better to let students study alone?
Students will have to absorb knowledge by using an efficient way in modern society. This will raise the question of whether students should work in a group or study alone to learn as much as possible about a project in a short period of time. I will take the position that students should work in a group to learn about a project.
First of all, working in a group could learn more efficiently because we could share our thoughts about this project with each other and motivate us to generate a more splendid understanding of this project quickly. My own experience could be a suitable example. When I was an undergraduate, I once attended a seminar-oriented history course. In this class, the professor divided us into groups and requested each of us to propose at least a reason for the industrial revolution succeeding in the eighteenth century. Initially, I couldn’t develop a compelling opinion by myself because I was not familiar with this period of history. However, I chose to inquire other classmates’ about their ideas, and they gave me lots of helpful knowledge, like the origin of the industrial revolution and the invention of the steam engine. Moreover, we could use a great deal of time to discuss and understand the reading materials instead of spending our time searching for the answer on the Internet. Finally, I could integrate reading materials and other classmates’ thoughts to fully generate my own opinion about this historical topic. By contrast, if we didn’t take this form of discussion, we may not be capable of absorbing this knowledge efficiently and fast. Instead, we probably consumed lots of time to get relevant information about this topic.
Second, working in a group will let us learn more carefully because we can divide the project into smaller parts and distribute each part to different people. Take my own previous experience, for example, when I was an undergraduate, I once attended a physics course. In the class, the professor designed a scientific project and demanded us to work in a group. Because this scientific project was more complicated than our initial expectation, we chose to partition this project into smaller processes and conquer each part by different people, such as the observational part and experimental part. Therefore, everyone could focus on a certain topic more carefully instead of dealing with each item alone at one time. Finally, when everyone completed their tasks, we could merge each section into a more refined project. Moreover, if we had some questions about certain issues, we could immediately inquire about these problems from our group members in charge of this section and gain a fairly accurate answer instantly. In contrast, if we didn’t work in a group, we may not be able to accomplish this troublesome project alone because this project had lots of details to handle.
To sum up, these are the two reasons why I prefer to work in a group. Teamwork could make us not only absorb the relevant knowledge more efficiently but also learn each part of this project in more detail.

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.
