1. Compare the subjects that younger students study with those studied by older
students.
Well, in primary school teachers mostly emphasize reading and writing. These are fundamental
skills. Students also get to learn a little about history and science. They learn simple, general
concepts, I believe. When they reach middle school and high school, students learn more specific
and detailed information on the same subjects. Science becomes biology, physics and chemistry.
And actually, each of these fields is divided into even more precise sections: in biology, students
will learn about anatomy (= related to the human body), molecular biology (= all the different
molecules), genetics, as well as botany (= the study of plants), and maybe ecology (= how different
organisms interact with each other). And this is the same for physics and chemistry, as well as history
and geography. Students learn more knowledge about specific subjects. In addition, students are
required to study more subjects that younger students don't have, such as philosophy, or politics.

2. What are the characteristics of a good learner?
A good learner should be motivated and open-minded. They should definitely persist until they
succeed, which means they must be determined. A good learner shouldn't be afraid of asking
questions. Curious students always learn more. On top of all this, good learners should understand
what their priorities are (= what the most important things are), and how to manage their time.
3. Compare the benefits of studying alone and in a group.
Well, if they study in a group, students can help each other; they can ask each other questions. As a
result, they can possibly gain time because they can explain the answers to each other. They can
also encourage each other to study hard together. On the other hand, studying alone offers more
privacy, as well as peace and quiet. A student who studies on his own can follow his own rhythm.
In a group, the other students might go too fast or too slow. And I think the most important thing is
that, when you study alone, you won't be distracted by your neighbors. When I study with my
classmates, we always talk about other topics, we laugh, and it's hard to focus on our studies.
