1st essay


Living Alone


There are many arguments whether people should live alone or not. Some people, especially teenagers, feel that living alone definitely results in positive effects, whereas others strongly disagree about that because of its negative effects. In my opinion, living alone always has both advantages and disadvantages.

The first advantage of living alone is to help people to become more independent. Firstly, people would do everything by themselves when they live alone. In fact, no one helps them in their lives, so they have to attempt difficulties without helps from other people such as money problems or relationship. Furthermore, the people who live separate from their parents would soon become more mature than others, who just depend too much on their parents for even simple things that they could do by themselves such as cleaning their rooms or preparing for the breakfast. As a result of living alone, they could take care by themselves and easily to adapt the society.

Next, having more freedom is also the result of living alone. In fact, people decide to live alone because they want to have a personal freedom. Thus, they could do whatever they like without consent from their parents. For example, they could spend more time hanging out with their friends until midnight without complains from their parents. Moreover, living alone is a helpful lifestyle for people such as artists and writers, who really need a quiet place, an essential element for their works. In brief, these people want to have a personal freedom for their own lives when they live alone.

On the other hand, living alone could lead people to bad habits. Firstly, these people often do whatever they want because no one could control their actions. Therefore, they would probably absorb bad habits from their friends such as smoking, drinking or drug addiction. Moreover, people, especially teenagers, who live alone, become addicts more easily than the others who live with their parents.

In conclusion, living alone always has both positive and negative effects. People decide to live alone because they want to become independent people and to have more freedom. Others disagree about that because living alone could lead to bad habits. In my opinion, it’s not a new issue; however, people should think carefully before making their own decisions.

Is it a narrative graph? I think it maybe an expository one, and u used many transitions, interesting! Your experiences are true, many international students chose that way in U.S! How about u? Do u live with host fam or in a department?
