托福话题作文

Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Nowadays, it has been brought into focus that whether young adults should live with their families or choose to be independent from their parents. This much debated problem is shaping our life every day. The choice may vary from different people. As far as I am concerned, although family life is warm and nice, we young adults should choose to be independent for the reasons as follows.

First and foremost, for young adults, the group of people who are considered to be constructers of the future, it is basic to learn the skill of taking care of their own life first. As an old proverb goes “How can you rescue the world if you can even not rescue yourself ?”so learning to be independent is an important lesson at the real beginning of our career and life.

Further, another reason why I advocate the young adults to be independent is that I think it is time for our parents to have a rest. As we all know, we have acquired too much from our parents since we were born. It is our parents who almost pay for everything for us, such as food, clothes, the cost of education, and so on. Now that we have already become adults and got the ability to make money, we should not depend on our parents any more. It is time for us to pay back and for our parents to have a rest and enjoy a comfortable life.

What is more, we are not unfamiliar with the idea “Generation Gap”, which means that people of different generations have different concepts about many things. Although our parents and we love each other, our ways of expressing the love are not similar, which may cause many contradictions. For example, sometimes I keep silent just because I am tired or I am enjoying the silence, but for my parents, it may be a signal that I am not happy or have some dissatisfaction with them, which may cause them unhappy. So, to be independent is an efficient way for me to solve such kind of problems.

To sum up, despite the fact that family life is nice and comfortable, it is obvious that we young adults should get out of the warm nest and learn to grow up. It is time for us to learn to live on our own and to be a useful person for the society!
