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.

Frankly speaking, I prefer living alone, because it's more comfortable, but sometimes it's a very interesting solution. For instance, for students. Living in dormitory sometimes it's difficult and not convenient, but you can cooperate with friends and rent some apartment in reasonable price. The most important thing try to divide house chores and discuss house rules.
