The importance of (team/group/set) work could not be more emphasized in today’s world. However, sometimes it is just so hard to get different (types/genres/styles) of people to work together. Let’s take the meeting of a study (set/team/group) for example. The most commonly-seen problems are two: some members are (spoken/ stated/gossip/ talkative) throughout the meeting and some never get prepared for the discussion. To solve it, the host must (talk to/talk into/talk out of/talk of) those who are being incooperative. Provided that it does not work, then it is necessary to put an end to the annoyance by cutting down the number of members. “It is cruel, (although/though),” you might say. Well, think it this way. If your study group is not (successful/triumphant/victorious) at all, is it still meaningful to “study together”?
