Should a College Graduate Rent or Purchase a House?

With the soaring of the house price, the dream of having a house becomes unattainable for most of the new graduates. They face a dilemma of dwelling narrowly or renting a room.

People holding the idea of purchasing a house think that the advantages of owning a house of their own outweigh another choice. On the one hand, according to the historical record, house price is expected to rise in the future. The possession of a house is expected to make profits in the long run. On the other hand, a house belonging to yourself makes you feel safety and comfort. Nevertheless, dissenters do not agree with the idea. In their view, the house price is too high to afford for graduates. If graduates decide to buy a house, they are certain to increase the burden of their family.

In my opinion, it is more advisable to rent a house during the first years than to buy a house because it is unwise to buy a house at such a high price. It is reasonable to save money and purchase a house at a suitable time. Surely, graduates can decide when to buy a house in accordance with their family condition. (198 words)

结构剖析

文章分为三段

文章第一段介绍了在房价高涨的背景下，高校毕业生面临着买房还是租房的选择。

第二段着重论述了双方所持的不同理由。赞成买房的人们觉得买房可以使资产增值，同时自己拥有的房子可以提供安全和舒适感。反对者认为现今房价过高，毕业后就买房会增加家庭的负担。

第三段论述了作者对于上述问题的看法，作者倾向于毕业后先租房，然后在合适的时机买房。

大学毕业生应该买房还是租房?

随着房价的飙升，买房梦对于大部分刚刚毕业的学生来说变得遥不可及。他们在蜗居和租房之间面临着两难的选择。

支持买房观点的人认为，拥有自己的房子的好处要超过租房的好处。一方面，根据以往的情况，房价预计将来还会上涨。从长远来看，拥有房子有可能会获利。另一方面，拥有自己的房子会使你感到安全和舒适。然而，持异议者不同意这种观点。在他们看来，房价太高了，毕业生不能承受。如果毕业生决定买房，他们必定会增加家庭的负担。

我认为，毕业后第一年里租房比买房更合适，因为以如此高的价格去买房很不明智。理智的做法是先攒钱，然后在合适的时间再买房。当然，毕业生可以根据他们的家庭情况来决定何时买房。
