Due to the requirements of our study and work, we sometimes have inevitably to change our living environment. The effects of living in a new place, in my opinion, are as follows:
The stay in a new place may offer us more opportunities to experience what we were not familiar with before, which is bound to expend our horizon. The different surrounding, the curious discoveries, and the brand-new relationship will surely enable us to form more effective methods of thinking and behaving and will certainly do much good to our future life and work.
Living in a new place can also increase the ability of supporting ourselves. We will be forced to take care of ourselves and to deal with our daily life alone, through which we can develop a sound habit, that is to try the best to settle problems by ourselves no matter how tough they are.
The experiences in the new place will help us adapt ourselves to different circumstances. We will have to learn how to get on well with others and how to face difficulties confidently and independently, and therefore a sort of flexibility will be shaped in us and in the future we can handle affairs in a more efficient way and in a more decisive manner.
However, despite the three merits mentioned above, living in a new place also has its own demerits. Sometimes too many and too frequent changes in environment are really time and energy-consuming. The nostalgia and the emptiness brought about by the strange environment will to some extent hinder our normal life and sound development. It will take quite a long time to eliminate the psychological unwellness; or perhaps the upset in deep heart will never be eliminated.
