Living alone or Living with Roommates
At the beginning of the new term, there appears a heated discussion among us as to whether we should live off campus or live together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory . Opinions vary from person to person.

Answer 1

：
Those who are in favour of living alone hold the view that it 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. But others argue that living with roommates has attrations of their own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched.They can learn a lot from talking to each other. Moreover, by learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.
As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the sense of belonging. Besides, living on campus can help me save a great deal of time on the way between my home and school, which means that I can concentrate more time and energy on my studies.

：本文是对两种住宿的不同选择的讨论，审题时应该注意使用现在时来陈述观点。同时这也是一篇半开放性的作为，要点主要还是有学生自己来梳理，赞成租房的同学可以从生活更自由，学习更灵活着手；赞成住宿舍的同学可以从集体生活的优点入手。在写作时注意使用合适的连接词如：As far as I’m concerned，but等；也要使用高级的句型和词汇，让文章更流畅更有条理更有文采。
