Working with others or working alone 1

Which is better - working by yourself or working with other people?

Some people like being on their own a lot of the time and others prefer to be part of a team or group.

If you are trying to get some work done, it can be handy to have other people around to help. Sometimes, however, it isn't very successful - having more people just seems to make things take longer.

Think about what you are involved in - at work, in school or college, at home or in your leisure time.

On the next screen there is a table for you to fill in about things you do and whether you like to do them with others or by yourself.

You can either type in your answers and print the table, or print the table and write in your answers.
