More and more people are living by themselves today. What are the advantages of living alone? What are the disadvantages? Write an essay of about 250 words explaining the advantages and disadvantages.
You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear - or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn't have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone's noise or meet anyone's dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone. Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment.

Such good experience.away from trouble!
Nice person met should not zlways around you.I would like to partner with stranger!
It brougt me safty sence.
friend is not well-treatied you.I dont want such experience.
i think many things are just like double-edged sword ,it depends on what you chose,what you really want ,if you gain something,absolutely you lose something,if you balance them well,i think both of the two life styles will be harmonious
why there are only a few people talk about this topic ,maybe it's too late ,it's the end of the day,have a good dream,what's yr opionion about living-alone?Xi xi...
i don't like living alone actually
are you living alone?
各有各的乐处,我比较喜欢一个人的，但是时间久了也觉得没意思
正所谓分久必合，合久必分。大家觉得以后结婚夫妻应该有不同的房间吗，比如书房，当然卧室绝对不可以了
对的，是夫妻了也需要个人空间的，最好一人一间书房
^_^
小新老师,这首歌我很喜欢!:)阿杜的第一张专辑里面每首歌都不错.
a couple of spouse meet twice or three times a week maybe a good way of living as well?
I am fear of stay alone.
I need families
我认为一个女人除了结婚和老公住的那套房子外，自己应该也要有独立的一套房子，最好是在婚前买的。
还是一个人逍遥自在，如果不结婚不会有流言蜚语，不会影响家人，我肯定不结。
强烈同意KAY的观点，有条件的话，婚后也应该有自己的空间，我就是想不通为啥要结婚，万一如果不得已一定要结，家里一定要有自己的书房!!!!
Living alone, you can learn how to face the reality, how to face the difficulties. It's a good chance to enjoy the life created by yourself.
不管是婚姻还恋爱，都是成长中的一段历程。
而其关键是在磨炼你如何地与人相处。
所以，一份成功的婚姻，一看缘份，二看你如何地去经营它。
有单身念头的人多半是有逃避现实的倾向。
不过，如果我周围的人都不结婚，我或许会考虑单身，大家嘻嘻哈哈过一辈子，也蛮好！但是，她们一个个都背叛了我。所以，得出一个结论，女大不中留啊！
不是在播放器上写着吗？我声明我可不是那种“隐士”般生活的人，但是也不喜欢呼朋唤友，可能是我星座的力量吧！
I think human is an advancd animal who would like to live together.why not live alone? TO me,I prefer live in a big city to a quiet town.
小新，KEANU REEVES和SANDRA BULLOCK合演的THE LAKE HOUSE美版《触不到的恋人》真的很好看哦，连看了好几遍，感觉听力都提高了很多。
看这片的时候就在想，一定要推荐给小新看，觉得很适合单身贵族的意境。小新，有空记得看一下哦。我也下了全志贤的韩版（美版是翻拍），还是喜欢KEANU REEVES版本的。
"This house is about ownership not connection."
Keanu Reeves饰演的建筑师Alex在剧中如是说。他穿着白色衬衫，内衬白色T恤，在如画般美丽的湖光山色背景前，向弟弟述说自己对来自未来的一位女生的炙热情感。湖畔小屋，将2004年的Alex和2006年的Kate连结在一起，透过一只神奇的信箱，认识彼此、分享心情、重续前缘和——改写命运。
画面超美的，一定要看哦！
最怕怕的就是天蝎.两年前我狂喜欢的一个人也是这个星座的,怪不得上课的时候觉得小新身上的一些东西感觉有点熟悉.赫赫,我觉得星座有时候还真是有点准.所以,后来我遇到人就先看是什么星座的,后遗症哈.
我也刚买了《触不到的恋人》，还没来得及看，晚上就回去看。呵呵。
也就是说名字叫做:一个人住.蝎子座的人是这样的吗,听上去有点象双子座哟
i think so,可能它不是专集中的主打歌,所以没有听过
星座是有道理的.别的不敢多言,但巨蟹的自己喜欢家的感觉着不假,有一份温馨足矣.在外面很多时候和朋友同住一片屋檐下,成为相互的聊伴,倾诉心声.偶得一刻独处时光,偶得一份清闲惬意.可以想想心里的人..........
星座其实利用了心理效应和蝴蝶效应的结合。它让你无论相信还是不相信，其实都是相信了。因为你知道一旦它存在，在你无法解释事物的时候就会想到它，而人不能说清的情况太多了。
也许它信则灵,不信则不灵吧,刚报名了中口的口试,希望可以过,不知道总分是多少?多少分及格?
哈哈 虽然天天说星座是伪科学 但是其实还经常关注的
天蝎座的人 我 是不是比较虚伪 哈哈哈
心理效应和蝴蝶效应的结合是什么东西啊？
天蝎很毒,只会对自己的女人好.做事有自己的一套主张.有点大男子主义.呵呵~~~
有的天蝎很情绪化,但是很真实,比较重感情,就象我的一个同学
一个人住很不错，迁就别人是suffer,让别人迁就自己也是suffer,有自己的安乐小窝多好！
I don't like living alone
because I always feel lonely
雅思部的女强人陆文佳老师是个星座freak，我们都怕面对她，大家有没有兴趣让她来开个什么流星花园什么的，给你把把脉什么的，把她说老了。
