R:Today we are gonna have a debate on whether we should live with parents after getting married.
And we’ll start from Rice stating her views.
R:I think we should live with our parents after getting married mainly for three reasons as following:
1. Living together with our parents enables us to take better care of the elders.
Paying back what parents have given us is always an important part of our traditional virtue. The older our parents grow, the more they need to be cared about. It’s a responsibility to make them feel they still get attention from their children by living with them.
2.If we live together,parents can help us take care of the children and do housework.
Under the pressure of the fierce competition,it’s just normal that some of the young people don’t have time and energy to take care of their own children and do housework at the same time. Working and taking care of children at the same time is really tiring, If our parents see to that kind of things,they will feel like they are still functioning in our family, not just useless old people waiting for the end of life, so it will alse alleviate the emptyness they feel after retirement.
3.It saves us the trouble of buying a new house.
In most cases, if we live with parents after getting married, we move to our parents’ house.So we don’t have to work tooth and nail to buy our new house.You know the the problem of housing has given the younger generation too much stress, but if we live with our parents, the problem has been solved. That’s all my argument.
C:However, I do not agree.I think we shoudn’t live with our parents after getting married,also mainly for three reasons.
1.It will creat a lot of family conflicts if we live together with our parents.
First it’s because the generation gap.We know that as social beings, our characters and way of thinking are largely moulded by the times we live in. We live in different times and we have very different perspective
