Band 7

In some countries, more and more adults are continuing to live with their parents even after they have completed education and found jobs. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

#countries #adults #parents #education #jobs
Living with their
parents
 is getting common nowadays compared with in the past even after graduating from school and found jobs. I believe the disadvantages of
this
 trend is greater than its advantages. It is true that living with
parents
 has benefits. One of them is that
people
 can get mental help from their
parents
. Even though
people
 graduate from their education, they are still less experience and need advice from their
parents
. When they live together, they have more time to spend time together
such
 as having meals and talked about their concern about their work and relationship, which stabilize
people
’s healthy minds. Another benefit is that
people
 have less burden of house chores. While they need to do all domestic chores
such
 as cooking and laundry by themselves if they live alone,
parents
 can cooperate to do it, allowing
people
 to have rest.
However
, I believe that the drawbacks of living with
parents
 prevail over its benefits because it hampers
people
’s independence. In the future, they need to live without
parents
 because they will have a family or their
parents
 will pass away so it is better to leave their
parents
’ house once they can earn enough income to pay the living expenses.
In addition
,
people
 are more freedom when they live without their
parents
. While
people
 live with their
parents
, they need to adjust
such
 as meal time with their
parents
, living alone can let
people
 decide freely. In conclusion,
although
 living with
parents
 has some advantages, I insist that the disadvantage of
this
 outweigh its advantages when considering
people
’s independence and freedom.
