52% of young adults in US live with parents
A new study from the Pew Research Center has revealed that most adults under 30 years old are now living with their parents. The study says the number of 18- to 30-year-olds who live at home has hit an 80-year high. Around 52 per cent, or 26.6 million, of young people are at home with one or both of their parents. Researchers say that not since 1940 have so many of the younger generation lived with their parents. Only in the Great Depression of the 1930s was the percentage higher. The researchers say there has been a recent rise in the number of young adults moving back in with their parents. A contributory factor to this spike is the economic downturn and a rise in unemployment caused by coronavirus. Regarding the economy, financial analyst Jeremy Sopko said: "You have to take into account two huge factors: massive student loan debt and a lack of available work." He added: "It's a difficult situation that's been exacerbated by the pandemic and it may take...the better part of a decade for younger demographics to recover and be financially stable enough to leave home." Another commentator said the trend could have adverse effects on the property rental market. She said: "With a lot of young people not renting, not moving into cities...there is a lot of inventory coming onto the market." Mr Sopko concluded: "For the most part, nobody wants to be living at home with mom and dad."
- Writing:
In my opinion in this section
of writing I emphasize, not all children have to leave their parents at the age
of 21 years. Why is that?
Answer: Maybe some children at the age of 21 leave their parents to continue their life, whether it's for higher education or to find work. but this is not responsibility, because in my opinion it is a decision that was taken without coercion or the listed rules. a lot of kids out there stay with their parents at that age. when they leave their parents it means they need a new home. New home means new building, it means we will grind more our nature material than it should be. i dont condone that.

1. What do you think about young adults?
Answer:
Period when a person is in a
situation that determines his future. Here the role of parents is very
important to supervise him, but some parents are lazy and result in their
children not getting a bright future. In economic problems at this time young
people still take advantage of the results of people's income But not everyone
can meet their economic needs well,
it also affects the lives of today's youth.
2. What do you think of living at home?
Answer:
According to me, one of the
greatest perks of living at home is the luxury of having the time to sit and
think extensively about your career decisions. You can take your time to get to
the bottom of what motivates you and to work out the steps you need to take to
get the job you actually want.
3. Why are more young people living at home?
Answer:
The reason why more young people living at home
is because the massive student loan debt and a lack of available work. The
economic downturn and a rise in unemployment, these difficult situations has
been exacerbated by the pandemic and it may be the better part of a decade for
younger demographics to recover and be financially stable enough to leave home.

Advantages of living with your parents:
1) You will save money.

4) The familiar, cozy, safe feeling of being at home.
5) The satisfaction of helping your parents.
6) You have a caring, supportive community built in.
4. Should all young adults have to leave home?
Answer:
In my humble opinion, I don't think that all
young adults should leave home, they can stay in their parents' house. that's
not a bad thing, not all young adults are financially stable, by living in
their parents' house they can also take care of their parents.
5. What do you know about the great depression?
Answer:
The Great Depression was an event of a dramatic
economic downturn that occurred around the world that began in 1929 and lasted
for about 10 years. This is often the case with most young people today, who
are living extravagantly even though their jobs are non-existent and even still
asking their parents. Bad things that often happen are usually they steal, rob,
or other things that make them earn money so it doesn't cause this great depression
in young people.
6. Has coronavirus affected you financially?
Answer:
Yes, this pandemic has greatly affected
financially, there have been many drastic changes in the community's economy
due to changes in buying and selling interactions in the market. Many
industries are also experiencing a slump due to this corona virus.
7. How has coronavirus affected your country financially?
Answer:
The corona virus is very influential in
Indonesia, starting from different social interactions, for example when talking,
you have to keep your distance, if you want to go you have to wear a mask.
Teaching and learning activities have changed to online through zoom meetings,
also in terms of work done from home. This has greatly changed the order of
life in society.

Discussion – Student B
1. What do you think about what you read ?
Answer: :
In my opinion, in the discussion section of
student B, I agree with this because it is not only abroad, but in Indonesia
now there are also many young children aged
18-30 year olds return to live with their
parents due to the impact of covid-19 which has resulted in an increase in the
number of unemployed.
2. what do you think of student loans?
Answer: :
I think that is quite helpful, especially as the
current economic situation is very low. enough to help young people who have
not found work or are unemployed, to start new businesses with these loans
3. Why will it take a decade for young adults to be able to
leave home?
Answer:
Because young adults need time to recover and be
financially stable enough to leave home.
4. What are the bad things about living with your parents?
Answer:
From my perspective, some of the bad things that
happen when I live with my parents are as follows:
a.
Dependency
When I live at home with my parents, on average
all my needs are taken care of by my parents. Thus, I'm spoiled and do not
think about my future condition.
b.
Lack
of Privacy
Over time, I have
come to believe that privacy is important and should be maintained. Parents who
have a KEPO (knowing every particular object) trait are constantly on the
lookout for what I'm keeping secret, so I'm feeling restless and have no safe
place to keep my privacy.
c.
Vulnerable
to Conflict
Sometimes in a
moment of difference of opinion in understanding something. My parents often
interfere in my affairs. Therefore, it can cause a lot of conflict between me
and my parents.
5. Is it better to rent or buy an apartment?
Answer:
I believe that renting is much better than
buying an apartment. By renting you can avoid certain costs such as making
repairs and upgrades, property taxes and homeowners insurance. You can also
save money when renting to buy a house or apartment in a better place.
6. Would you prefer to live at home or on your own?
Answer:
For me I would like to have the opportunity to
experience both living alone and living with people. But, I wouldn’t want
living alone for my entire life, but living alone would be good too. In this age, I already can view the advantages both of
things. People can give you love and companionship and also frustration and
conflicts. Living alone can be difficult and isolating at times but pleasant
and liberating at other times.
7. what advice do you have for young adults ?
Answer:
Advice for young adults in my opinion, adults
don't have to wait for our age to really mature but when someone has thought
wisely then it is considered an adult, and indeed at times like this we must
think before acting especially for young adult.
8. What questions would you like to ask the researchers ?
Answer:
I would like to ask something that make great
impact to each individual .The question its more like dependable instead a
concrete fact. Because you know every person is different, so because its
different. Some personal research/studies like this must be valued. So my
question is :
• is it more effective and productive for young people when
they lived with their parents or when they are all alone?
• So living with parents, is it means someone try to be
cheap/cut loans or rent ? or they more hedonist with something doesn’t they
need.
• Why it is only many 80 year-high(milenial-gen z) who lived
with their parents?

Activity 5
Consider the film's opening quote from the British Council
again:
"Complete immersion...is often the best way to develop
your language skills."
1. What is complete immersion?
Complete Immersion or language bath is a method of teaching a
second language in which the learners’ second language is the medium of
classroom instruction. This reduces the students’ dependence on their first
language, thereby accelerating the process of learning. In short, education
approach the teaches by placing a student directly in the target of language's
environment. This is the most common way of learning foreign languages.
2. Why is it seen as such a good way to learn a language?
Complete Immersion seen to be the most good, natural and
authentic way to learning a new language because it allows us to truly experience
almost all aspects of life in the language you're learning. It's fair to say
complete Immersion seems to be the holy grail of language learning.
3. Is it possible to get some of the benefits of "complete
Immersion" without going to an English speaking country? If so, how?
Absolutely, it's possible to get the benefits of complete
Immersion without going to the country (thanks to covid-19). There are some way
to immerse ourselves:
1. Mingle and make friends with native speakers through
internet and language exchange events.
2. Watch movies and series, listen to songs and
podcasts or read.
3. Use an English-to-English dictionary.
4. Find an online tutor or an online app.
5. Get a label maker or Post-It notes.

Activity 6
Aca : Morning Ananta, so I heard that you study in the UK
with your host family? Is that right ?so how about them are they nice?
Nan : Morning too, well yes I have been recently study abroad
for short term 2 weeks in UK. Well my host family really nice, they are really
loyal and decent.
Aca : Glad too hear that, so I have a question for you. What
do you think is a good location to make a homestay ?
Nan : As far as I know a great location to make a homestay is
near the university that you studies for and near the groceries. Of course get
a homestay with a cozy features are a bonus for our pleasant.
Aca : yeah I agreed, and what kind of design is attractive?
Nan : well I think the design is the most attractive is
minimalist and vintage design. Because the aesthethic of vintage will remind you
with your nostalgia,you can put books ,stories and many old things that you
like. With minimalist combination you can make a small place is more organized.
But you know every person have their own taste
Aca : yeah I can feel your hype about design. So
you already talking about stuff like books or stories so what other facilities
should be provided?
Nan : I think extra facilities that you should provided is
thermostat/hot blower, because in UK its quite cold no doubts. So you need warm
air to keep yourself healthy. And maybe like Indonesian tradition you can add
“semprotan” in the restroom. Since in UK you use toilet paper.
Aca : Well if you mean Indonesian tradition , it means many
southeast students are doing study abroad right. It means we needs good advertisment.
Do you think online advertising is good marketing?
Nan : yeah of course, since its pandemic its quite hard to
make offline advertisment. You can make some advertisement in google
scholarship or online group that require scholarship. You need to fit the
location of marketing first then advertise it.
Aca : How about the service?what kind of service
do you think is the best?
Nan : I think the right service is cleaning
service one. UK district is quite clean, you doesn’t want to make it dirty.
Hire some dustman and janitor is a good choice. For payment service I think it
doesn’t need that much effort, because many people in UK already quite nice
because their polite culture .
Aca : well I think that’s all I want to ask, its mean much
for me to get your information. Thank you very much nan. I will considerate
your thoughts have a great day
