(Introduction)

It is a global tendency that the number of people who decide to reside by themselves is increasing. This phenomenon is primarily due to gaining freedom, and I regard this as being optimistic.

(Body 1)

To begin with, there are two reasons why people are fond of living independently(apart from their family). First and foremost, people do not allow others to invade their own privacy. This is because people are reluctant to reveal their real lifestyles, habits, and characteristics when dwelling with other people. Secondly, people merely do not want to get disturbed, which requires a comfortable atmosphere. More specifically, If a house accommodates more than two people, it is highly possible that the house will be filled with tons of noise, owing to vigorous communication.

(Body 2)

I consider this as positive because people can become responsible. Living on their own makes them learn how to budget their own money and manage to do household chores. For example, if they have a tight budget, they will learn how to spend their money in a wise way like buying the things that are just necessary for them. Moreover, this constructive tendency can arouse government’s awareness on fertility policies. Due to the skyrocketing cost of living, people are not willing to get married and give birth to babies, so governments can look back on current fertility policies.

(Conclusion)

In conclusion, since people are eager to enjoy their lives single-handed, and protect their own privacy, the given phenomenon is considerably persuasive.

++(Alternative Introduction)

Nowadays, the number of people who live independently is increasing across the globe. This phenomenon is due to attaining freedom and I think this is a favorable trend.
