I prefer to live alone because I think if you want to share a house with others, you have to be same behavior for your convenience.

I prefer to share a house for many reasons : firs,t having a housemate will make me feel safe, second, It is a new experience that builds a new skill, finally, if the housemate is a nice person this can be a new friendship.

Hi everyone. I'm new. Nice to meet you all! Truly, I'm not good at English so if there are any mistakes, please help me correct them. Thank you very much! Do you prefer to share a house or live alone? I prefer to live alone. Because I can do anything I like without concerning anyone' s thought. I feel free. Hahaha

I currently live in a suite that comes with a double bedroom, a bathroom, a living room combined with the kitchen. The rent is more than 600 pounds per month including service charge for the management but excluding bills. No pet is allowed. Actually, I am not looking for housemates. Just typing here to practice my writing skill.

I prefer to share the house rather than live alone. Sharing helps to make new friends. In hard days you'll find support, and on good days you 'll enjoy together. I think life is exciting when you share it with people.

Currently I live with my parent. So, I don't know the feeling of live alone or sharing house. If I move out from my parent house in future. I prefer to share a house. Sharing a house can get new friends, communication, experience and environment. Also you can save your money for sharing a house.

i prefer to live alone. i had a chance to live alone and share my home for my housemates. i think that living alone is more better. i can do whatever i want and do not care someone in my room.
