Speakout B2, Unit 1.1 Ex 1
Do you think it’s easier to live with family, friends or on your own?
If I had to choose among these options I would prefer to live on my own. First of all, because I am an introverted person who can recuperate energy being in solitude. When I am exhausted by a hard working day all I need is to be left alone. Secondly, my hobbies require at least a separate room, that is to say, having a speaking practice session in presence of other people makes me feel uncomfortable. And even if I felt comfortable, I would not dare to disturb someone.
Living with family has it pros and cons. On one hand you have always someone to help you and this help and support will always be unconditional. On another hand living with family implies more responsibility not only for your own actions. Besides, you must be able to accept a compromise and take in account interests and opinions of all your family members.
The advantages of living with friends may only exist on condition that they respect your limits. In this case you can live according your rules and enjoy a good company.

Do you think it’s easier to live with family, friends or on your own?
If I had to choose among these options, I would prefer to live on my own. First of all, I am introverted and need to recharge my energy in solitude.
When I am exhausted at the end of a long day, all I need is to be left alone.
Secondly, my hobbies require a separate room; in other words, having a language lesson in front of other people makes me uncomfortable.
I would not want to disturb someone, even if I felt comfortable.
