2. Next academic year you may be living in a shared flat with other students or
in auniversity residence, or maybe you’ll be staying in your own house with your
family. Write a ‘for and against’ essay explaining the advantages and disadvantages
of livingaway from home while you’re a university student. Make sure you do NOT
use your ownname in your essay.
The end of a life cycle and the beginning of a new one is always a difficult change.
This year, we’ll finish “Batxillerat” and we are going to begin a Univerisity degree.
It can mean a little step in the transition of childhood into the adult world. Also,
some of us could share a flat or a University residence with other students. But, if
you are doing a degree, is living away better than staying at your home?
On the one hand, some people might say that it is better because it obviously gives
you more time to do many things, for example, studying calmly, searching a petty
job which helps you and your parents to pay the degree, etc. In addition, it gives you
more autonomy and it’s more comfortable. Besides, you don’t have to pay the
public transport every day .
On the other hand, others might argue that it’s worse, because you emancipate too
soon, considering that you are already a child. Also, you would miss your family and
your lifelong friends. And if you have a partner it’s difficult to keep the relationship if
you are habitually far away. Furthermore, it might be more expensive than making all
the journeys depending on the city where you study, because for example Barcelona
is dearer than Lleida.
In conclusion, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages that each person has
to consider depending on his or her priorities and features. Finally, having weighed
up both sides of the issue, I believe that on the whole, the first years it is better to stay
at home and do the necessary trips, but later, when you are in the second or the
third year, it can be a good option.
