(改进句子结构和语法) Secondly, it can provide opportunities for first-year students to make friends. Second, it offers opportunities for them to make friends with their peers. (简化表述并增加词汇多样性) But the woman disagrees with that. Firstly, she thinks that different students have different study ways. First, she believes that students have diverse learning styles. (改进句子结构和词汇选择) For herself, she wants to study on her own, therefore it will waste students' time who really want to study on her own. She prefers studying independently, so mandatory group sessions may be unproductive for those with similar preferences. (改进句子结构和语法) Secondly, all students are already in the biology class, so there are many students who did not have the plan to interact with other students, therefore they didn't help them to make friends. Second, since all students are already in the same biology class, they have ample opportunities to interact and make friends without the need for mandatory study groups. (改进句子结构和语法，使表述更清晰)
