Bill: Sounds good, but I really enjoy going to class b【3】 it’s a great way to get to know other people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don’t understand something, I’m always able to ask about it in person.

Paul: I’m pretty self-disciplined （自律的），and I work b【10】 on my own than with others.
