I prefer living alone to sharing a house because I enjoy peace and like to follow my own rules. I think some people might feel uncomfortable living with me. I can get along with everyone, but living together is a different story. However, in some cases, I might have to share a house if I can’t find a better option.

I don’t prefer to share a house with someone. I would like to live alone because I had a bad experience with it.

I prefer to share a house to to live alone. Sharing a house is helpful especially when you are with your brothers and/or sisters. hence, i want to mention someone you know each other because it won't be difficult to be share the household activities.

In addition, it feels safe to be with someone else in the house. It is dangerous to live alone. For instance, if you feel unwell over the night he/she could take care of you and if you are sick he could carry out all home activities, including to prepare food and washing the clothes as well as to clean the house.

I prefer to live with other people, but sometimes i like to live alone, so i think shared room which an ensuite is suitable for me. Imagine that you have someone to share stories about work or school with, or just to chat, joke with about anything, etc; it makes us feel better after a long day. And whenever you need some quiet, you can just go back to your room and enjoy your own private space. This way helps me get good balance when living at home.
