问题     In China, it is quite common that universities would assign students to share a dorm room. In overseas countries, however, students could choose their own roommates. As a college student, do you agree or disagree that students should choose their own roommates? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                     Free Choice of Roommates
    It’s a common practice in Chinese universities that students live with whoever that’s allocated by school, whereas on the other side of the globe, students can choose and switch roommates as needed. In my opinion, university students should be granted with the freedom to choose roommates.
    First of all, the practice of choosing our own roommates comes nearer to real life. University students are grownups capable of making independent decisions in a manner of one’s own choosing. It is an immature act by school to assign students to share a dorm room, as if keeping a bird with fully-developed plumage inside the cage, protected and prevented from making their own decisions. Students are probably not able to choose who they work with, but they have the right and chance to choose who they live with after graduation. College life should be a rehearsal that prepares students for the full-scale drama of reality.
    Secondly, an incompatible dormitory life is likely to entail inconvenience and distress. Imagine a case scenario like this: Student A keeps a clocklike timetable by going to bed before 11 o’clock and getting up at 7:00 a.m., while his roommate Student B is a night owl who seldom turns in before midnight. So when A is trying to fall asleep, B has just raised the curtain of his "prime time" tapping on the keyboard, which might keep his roommate awake. In this case, A’s sleep might be compromised, affecting his study with a lack of rest. When the efforts of reconciliation fall apart, these two students might turn against each other with incessant quarrels. It’s, therefore, important to be able to freely choose a roommate who is on the same page of a work-and-rest schedule.
    What’s even graver is the fear that irreconcilable conflicts between roommates could result in fatal tragedies. Once a fight deteriorates into a feud, all the pent-up discontent and grudge can take lives. We still remember vividly the tragic case of Ma Jiajue, a university student who killed his four roommates out of spite and stored their bodies in the closet. This appalling murder is triggered by a disagreement during a card game. When things get out of hand in a shared room, even the faintest gleam could spark off a raging fire.
    As is illustrated above, it takes congeniality for two persons to live together in harmony. Since this cannot be forced or arranged, it’s better to leave the choice in the hands of students themselves.
