Band 6.5

In some countries, more and more adults choose to continue to live with their parents after they graduate and have found jobs. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?

#countries #adults #parents #graduate #jobs #trend
There is a growing trend that adults in some nations continue to stay at their
parents
' homes after graduation and join the workforce.
Although
 there are several advantages at the individual level, I mainly consider the disadvantages outweigh the drawbacks in terms of causing a low birth rate. It is true that
people
 can enjoy the benefits of living with their
parents
 after getting a job. One notable point is that it is efficient for self-improvement because sharing home chores with their
parents
enables

 them to spend more time on what they want, and they can save money by not paying expensive rent for housing, which
also
 encourages
people
 to start new activities.
For example
, it has become much more popular to enjoy after-work activities,
such
 as exercise at the gym or lessons in data science, for young adults than in the past in Japan as the number of
people
 who live with their
parents
 has increased.
Hence
, it is advantageous at the individual level.
However
, I believe the downsides of
this
 trend are more significant at the national level since it can decrease the birth rate, which causes severe economic stagnation in the long span.
Firstly
, living at their parent's house deprives
people
 of opportunities to learn how to live alone because they can easily ask their
parents
 for support, which discourages them from marrying since they must do house tasks.
Secondly
, if
people
 get accustomed to spending their time for themselves, it becomes challenging to get rid of
such
 a life
due to
 the fun and freedom.
Thus
,
people
 refrain from having children.
To sum up
,
although
people
 gain benefits from living with
parents
 by having more opportunities to skill them up,
this
 trend can demotivate
people
 to have their children
due to
 the lack of chance to learn the way to live on their own and difficulty of changing their lifestyle, which is considered to be serious in the long span.
Therefore
, I conclude that the advantages are more significant than the drawbacks.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
