IELTS WRITING TASK 2


In some countries, more and more adults continue to live with their parents even after they have completed
education and found jobs. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

It is observed that an increasing number of adults continue living with their parents even when they have secured a job. I
personally believe that the disadvantages of this trend are more significant than the advantages.

On the one hand, working adults can gain several benefits when continuing to live under the same roof with the parents.
The most apparent one is that they can save a great deal of money that may otherwise be spent on rent and food, among
many other expenses. They, in turn, can use the spare money to pay for other activities like travelling to have fun and enjoy
life. Another beneficial effect is timely assistance. For example, people who take part in the labor force may be able to find
a sense of ease when confiding the challenges they face in the workplace to their parents and receive some
encouragement and words of wisdom afterwards. In contrast, those who have already moved out may not have the same
needed emotional support especially when they only talk with the parents occasionally.

Despite the above arguments, I personally believe that those advantages pale in comparison with the drawbacks. Firstly,
those who remain living at their parents’ house may develop a poor sense of money management and spend much of
what they earn now that they have fewer financial worries. The lack of financial management skills can lead to more
financial problems later, especially in the event of an emergency that requires money. Secondly, many adults may become
over-reliant on their parents for support, particularly when it comes to household duties. This is because they are often
free from household tasks, be it cooking, doing the laundry, or cleaning the house since their parents can provide help in
this area. Both of these two negative consequences may become problematic when they move out and build a life on their
own.

In conclusion, even though there are clear benefits of continuing living with their parents, I reaffirm that the disadvantages
are more worrying.
