Living alone or Living with Roommates
Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussionamong the college students as to whetherthey should live alone outside the campus orlive together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.(提出观点段)
Those who are in favor ofliving alone maintain thatit is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet. (反面论述段)
But others argue thatliving with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.(正面论述段)
As far as I’m concerned, I prefer tolive with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent an apartment outside the campus. (总结观点段)
