<p>Topic : Having a roommate is better than living alone.</p>
<p>I firmly agree that having a roommate is better than living alone. In America, it is very common for people to live with roommates. These people who decided to live with roommates find some advantages that ensure them better living than living alone.</p>
<p>First of all, living with a roommate is a great choice for someone who deal with a loneliness. According to my experiance of living alone, I often wanted someone I can talk to when I’m in home alone. And sometimes I couldn’t even sleep at night due to the emptiness in my home. It wouldn’t happen if I had a roommate.</p>
<p>Moreover, cost of living is much cheaper. Rent is a big part in cost of living, and if we could share the rent, the cost of living could be much cheaper. Also, we can share foods and utilities with roommates. For example, in most dormitories in schools, a community room is much cheaper than a private room. In this point of view, living with a roommate can cut down the monthly expences.</p>
<p>To sum up, living with a roommate can deal with a loneliness and cut down the cost of living. It is a much better choice than living alone, if we are aware of these advantages. Therefore, I strongly recommend to live with a roommate.</p>
