Score 5 Essay—Sample 1
Every young adults will grow and live apart from their parents to form
their own families.
The ages for those young adults to be independent depends on each person.
Some people may have to live longer with their parents and some others may not.
This essay will discuss the issue of independent life and living with their
families for a longer time.
Most young adults prefer to have a seperate or independent life from their
parents or families as soon as possible. This is because they have a strong urge
for freedom in doing what they desire. But in fact many of them fail. This
should not be surprising since often they are actually not ready mentally
although they are physically ready. It is widely understood that to live
independently requires a lot of energy and Js not easy at all. In this twenty
first century, people may need more and more preparation because competition is
increasing rapidly. An observation shows that many University graduated students
are unemployed. The refore, they will not be able to support and fulfill their
necessities.
So living independently at an early age is not suitable for all young
adults, some young adults may need to take more time to prepare themselves
before going out to struggle. Young adults need to be ready to support
themselves. Taking time to get more education and living with their families for
a longer time may lead them to a better independent life because they will be
well prepared for the hard-life outside. Still, living with their families for
*too* long will not be a good idea because they could get to used to it and tend
to be less independent.
The time to live independently depends on the person himself. He or she
must decide whether they are ready to leave their parents to have an independent
life or not. The decision will vary from one person to another. A person should
judge that he is capable of fulfilling his needs without being dependent on his
parents; this indicates that he is ready for his independent life. Otherwise he
might need to stay longer with his parents.
