思路解析：

11月19日的写作题目是关于“居住方式”的话题：有些国家，越来越多的人愿意独自住，而不是与父母、孩子、配偶生活在一起(甚至终身不结婚)，请问这个是好还是坏?这是个彻底的旧题，以前多次原题出现过，比如2013年4月13日、2013年8月3日、2014年9月27日。相关的话题也频繁出现，比如2012年7月12日“大学生该住在学校还是住在家里”、2014年9月4日“因特网时代我们住在什么地方都不影响我们的工作和生活”、2016年4月2日“多民族的人住在一起是好还是坏”等。

关于居住方式的问题，我们应该怎样解题呢?首先，从物质层面，独自居住可以给我们自由的空间和时间，我们想干嘛就干嘛，比如不扫地，不洗碗，房间乱糟糟都不用担心，但这种自由的代价就是可能养成一些不好的习惯;其次，从心理层面，独自居住可能让我们心理很放松，但是如果长期一个人住，就可能失去社交的能力;最后，从社会层面，独自居住虽然减少了人与人之间的冲突，但也给社会资源增加了负担和压力。

Sample answer：

Today, more and more people, especially in developed countries, choose to live alone. Some even go so far as living all by themselves even if they have a spouse. Obviously, the benefits of living alone are multiple: freedom to come and go as you please; the space and solitude all to yourself; kingly or queenly domain over the bed. However, as far as I see it, all these benefits do not come without prices.

To begin with, as TV has taught us once and again, the single-occupant home can be a breeding ground for eccentricities. In a sense, living alone represents the self let loose. In the absence of anybody else and his/her watchful eyes, the solo dweller is free to indulge his or her odd habits: no dish washing after dinner, standing naked in your kitchen at 2 a.m., eating peanut butter from the jar, and so on. You may do these things again and again until it is too late for you to make a change.

Then, for people who are comfortable and even good at living alone, there is often another concern: a fear that the concrete has set, so to speak, on their domestic habits and that it will be difficult to go back to living with someone else. A friend of mine got married after having been single and living by himself for many years, only to find that he was always quarreling with his wife because, in his words, she was constantly picking faults with his habits and lifestyle. It is only a long time later that he realized he had to give up those oddities he picked up when he was living alone.

It is, of course, a matter of personal preference whether one chooses to live all by himself or with his friends or family members. If he finds freedom more important than anything else, living alone is certainly a good choice. It would be the best choice of his if he understood how to avoid the perils, too.
