I have my own house, but if I have to rent a house for work or for studying abroad I would prefer living alone. Living alone will help you get away from many problems when you have to share your space and private life. We can not believe the strangers. In case you share the house with friends, it may affect your relationship.

I more prefer to live along. But if I live with my friend and not with people I don't know, I would not mind

I enjoy living alone, which is full of freedom. You can be either a night owl or a morning bird without worrying about bothering your roommates or housemates, and you have your own personal space to enjoy your hobbies. However, living with another person will help you get through some difficult situations, such as getting sick. You will have someone to cater to you or even call an ambulance in the worst cases.

I used to have lots of exams and I did enjoy solving them even the hardest one. I’m hoping to start studying GCSE next year. Then getting into uni.

Dear everyone,
It depends, living with someone to trust, respect and feel comfortable is great idea, otherwise living alone would be the correct decision.
I will be glad if there’s a professor who would mark my writing ☺️

Hi Tectona,

We don't correct users' writing here, but we are happy to answer questions about English if you have any :)

Dear Jonathan,
Thanks for you prompt response. I appreciate it. I wonder how we could know that our English is improving?
that web idea was great idea and would be supper Wow, if there is someone to encourage us by marking our answers. I understand that marking one's answer could causes shyness. But if we look at this from another point of view, it's acutely good support for those who can't afford private tutor or have no time to take private class. overall, the Learn English site is really great. Thanks for this support.
Thanks again Jonathan.
