The first time I decided to leave home was when 1 was in high schoo1.1 was having trouble getting along will my parents.I had about a hundred dollars in my pocket,and so I thought about leaving home, It took me 6my three weeks away from home when I stared to feel homesick. Living on my own is a totally different experience for three main reasons:being more responsible, more decisive and more creative First of all,I have learned that living on my own requires that I become more responsible.My parents usually tell me to carry out m y work and duties almost every day.men I fail to do the work,I only get scolded. However now that I am on my own,I get to deal with my duties without being told to.When I fail to do my duties,I must also deal with the result by myself Another different experience for me while living on my own is that now I have become more decisive. ·I have to be more careful since I am on my own because my parents are not here to give me their advice. I must make my own decisions.For example,I must make the best decisions for myself without hurting anybody’s feelings and without my parents,guidance. Therefore,I became more creative just by living on my own.I could make my own future plan-l have made rules for myself to follow.This to me is a good experience,because I usually think that being creative is the.nicest thing in the world.However, when 1 was with my parents l found it hard for me to be creative simply because I always followed their ideas. In conclusion,these are the things that usually happen when I am with my parents and when I am alone. Besides,I think that it is better for everyone to love their parents and themselyes before they love anyone else.They s hould leam how to live on their own. but meanwhile learn how to follow every technique that was given to them by their Pa rents.They can make use of their freedom of choice to lead to wherever they want。 小题1:According to the text,the author decided to leave home because A.he would like to live in the school with fellows B.he found it hard to get on well with his parents C.he had to go on with.his studies in.another city D.he felt he was old enough to live on his own 小题2:What did the author think matters most in the world?
