I prefer living alone. I didn't think I was comfortable living together with anyone but my family. But, I am living in a shared house now. Luckily, my housemates don't really bother each other and we have someone to look for the house so we don't need to share the house chores. It still feels like I am living alone.
Hello,
I prefer to live alone. I like to keep my routine, I don't like someone interrupting me when I am working or reading. Even though it's more expensive than living with my family, it's my favorite lifestyle.
Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
Of course I prefer live alone, but I live with my husband and fluffy cat.
And I didn't live anytime with housemates.
Hello Dears, Thank you for these materials, and I am asking if there ant tips to maximize the benefits of these writing topic , is solving the accompanying tasks enough to gist the purpose
Hi majdkassem,
I'm glad that you found the materials useful! Doing the accompanying tasks is a good start. To develop your writing further, you should also try to apply what you have learned in real life by looking for opportunities to write English. This will allow you to adapt what you have learned to your particular context (e.g. particular readers, situations and purposes of writing). You may also receive valuable feedback from the readers of your writing which can help you to learn more.
I hope that helps.

I’d rather live alone. Because I’m very meticulous person and being in good relationship with my housemates is hard.
i think i prefer living alone because i love the silence. Perhaps, a noisy life brought me many troubles, so i've tried to go away from that. When I was younger all types of funny people or any another that made people laugh I used to keen on. But as I grew up, my mind changed. That's why I hate living near the noise and had avoided everybody around me hardly. A calm life without friend should be fun but may be not! But I can prove how funny it is. In conclusion, i prefer living alone to share house with people. However, i need someone who can keep me away from the ghost!=(
Sometimes, I prefer to stay alone when doing something private, like study or reading a book
I love living with my family. However, if I shift to a new place and have to stay for work, then I prefer to live alone.
I live in a dorm inside my university. We share one room with six-roommate. and share kitchen and bathroom with the whole floor. It have to be six person in every room so in every term we look for new roommate. But its not expensive.
