Well, last year our teacher asked us to do research about our students. We were training at a school, so we should work on the common problem among the students. I worked with my best friend in the research. I chose a topic and she chose another topic. My topic was, I want to do a research about how to improve the students in reading skills. While she wanted to do a research on writing skills, we all have different opinions. I go back to my home and I think about the problem. I found that we should respect each other. We all of us should work hard to improve our students and to help them to improve their problems. We should go to our teacher and solve our problems. Our teacher said that we should work on reading because he also noticed that all of the students have a real problem in reading skills. We didn’t have enough time to choose writing because writing needs a lot of time to improve the students. So, the reading is the best choice. Then my friend respected that and she told me that we will work on reading and the problem is solving.

Well, last year our teacher asked us to do research about our students. We were training at a school, so we needed to work on the common problems among the students. I worked with my best friend on the research. I chose one topic, and she chose another. My topic was about how to improve students' reading skills, while she wanted to research writing skills. We had different opinions. I went back home and thought about the problem. I realized that we should respect each other. We all needed to work hard to help our students improve their issues. We decided to go to our teacher to resolve our disagreement. Our teacher said that we should focus on reading because he also noticed that all the students had a significant problem with reading skills. We didn't have enough time to choose writing because it requires a lot of time to improve. So, reading was the best choice. Then my friend accepted that, and she told me that we would work on reading, and the problem was solved.
