In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?

For several years,
people

.Now,
this
essay intends to explain the reasons for
this
case.
First,
thinking that having a
house
of your own is related by many to status. Naturally, purchasing a
house
or apartment involves big amounts of money, which is not something the average citizen accounts for today. Especially now that the world is facing a housing crisis, prices have skyrocketed which makes it even harder for members of society to get their own property.
Hence
, buying a property has become a symbol of money and status in today's society.
Secondly
, living under your own roof provides a sense of stability. Those who own their own places know that, in the case of unexpected events

Consequently

Conversely

Your essay introduction lacks a clear thesis statement, which should indicate the direct answer to the question posed, and provide a brief overview of what the essay will cover. This is essential to guide the reader.

The body paragraphs need to be more focused on supporting the main points with clear and specific examples, which are currently generic. Your argumentation would benefit from more detailed illustrations of points made.
task achievement
The conclusion should succinctly summarize the essay's main points and restate your position, reinforcing the central argument. It currently reads as an opinion statement without directly tying back to the points discussed.

Develop a clearer logical structure, using topic sentences to introduce each paragraph's main idea, followed by supporting sentences and a concluding sentence to link back to the overall essay question.
