Band 7

In some countries, more and more adults are living with their parents after graduating from college, university, or even after finding a job. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

#countries #adults #parents #college #university #job #outweigh
There is a heated debate on whether young adults should live with their
parents
 after they step into society. In my opinion, living alone is better for their long-term development
although
 there are a few advantages to living with the
parents
 at the moment. As it may be known to all, the rental in the megacities is extremely high and it might take one
third
 or even half of the fresh graduate’s monthly earnings. Staying with the
parents
 would reduce a large number of living expenses. Apart from the economic benefits, we could spend more time with our
parents
 while we have tight schedules every day.
For example
, if we live in different places with our
parents
, after a 12-hour shift, we might not want to pop into our
parents
’ home for dinner, and would rather go straight to our own place.
Although
 there are some obvious benefits to living with
parents
, the drawbacks for adults who do not have their own places are
also
 significant.
To begin
 with, if an adult does not have experience of living on his own, he probably does not know how to cook or how to do housework and
therefore
 he lacks the essential life skills or he might be incapable of solving things independently.
Also
, I believe both ourselves and our
parents
 want more personal spaces at home. Not all families are rich and have a spacious living area, most of the houses cannot provide enough spaces or privacy for every individual.
In addition
 to
this
, the lifestyle of the young generation is quite different from the elder people,
consequently
, there might be more unhappy issues arose if we live with our
parents
. All things considered, despite there being a few good things to live with
parents
, I still believe it is better for young people to live on their own.
