题目：The number of people choosing to live by themselves has increased rapidly in recent years. Why is this? And is it a positive or negative development for society?
分析：与14年09月27日的考题相比,，仅仅是在题目的最后多了一个词组for society。对审题比较有研究的烤鸭肯定会知道，这可是一个限定性的修饰。言外之意就是本题的第二个问题的论点，都应该是和社会相关。其实，这个限制并不严格，因为和社会相关的论点太泛泛了。说来说去，你会发现其实都和社会相关。
范文：
Personal space is always what some people are in pursuit of after suffering from tiredness from work or stress from study, and naturally a growing number of people begin to live alone, and hereby they believe the inner peace can be easily reached.

Primarily, our unprecedentedly noisy living environment is bothering most of people nowadays. There is no gainsaying that our life is surrounded by increasing noise, gradually resulting in huge mental stress to us. Besides, the fast-paced lifestyle makes people live under huge stress and high-tech devices push people into situation where they can be interrupted by all kinds of information moment by moment. Struggling in all those, some people consequently find out a way to escape from all those adversities, a shelter that only belongs to themselves.

What the general public need to be concerned about at first is that living alone weakens people’s communicative skills and even the desire of communicating with others. Faced with problems like this, people definitely have more possibilities to get mental illness. What is worse, living alone is thought as a temporary method for avoiding pressure for people. Instead, it is not the way by which stress can be released. People who always try to keep themselves away from pressure will probably be more vulnerable. There is no place where they can hide themselves forever. Without a shadow of doubt, it will be a severe social issue that a considerable proportion of population fear interacting with others or are not able to deal with pressure appropriately.

Humans are gregarious, yet this stressful and noisy society is pushing a rising number of people to live by themselves. This tendency ought to be paid sufficient attention to by the public as it does harm to not only individuals but also the whole society.
