Staying single

I read the website Unmarried America: Equal Benefits For Singles. According to the website, there are 87 million unmarried and single adults. Some of them have complaints against penalties for them. For example, there is the pension. If a married worker dies before starting to recieve the benefit, a surviving spouse can inherit them. But, for singles, their money goes back into the pot. Some classmates said people stay single because they can avoid problems of husband and children and enjoy their single life. The biggest benefit is to have free time for themselves and the hardest part is being lonely.

I asked two Americans these four questions.1.Do you know anyone who plans to stay single forever? 2.Why do they prefer that option? 3.What do you think are the biggest benefits of staying single? 4.What is the hardest part of staying single? Neither of them know anyone who plans to stay single forever. John said people stay single because they don't want to dedicate themselves to one person. The biggest benefit is they have more freedom for themselves and the hardest part is being lonely. Brandon said people stay single because they can save money. The biggest benefit is they can't get a broken heart. And the hardest part is they have to cook. Their answers were similar to that of classmates. I think most young American people want to get married, because they were puzzled to find answers for these questions. Both of them said questions were very difficlt to answer. I think they haven't thought about staying single.
