However, time and energy is limited. The time spent in dating a boyfriend/girlfriend spells the time lost in studies.

Young as I am, there’s not a single redundant second for me to waste. I don’t want to look back in future, only to find that my regrets know no bound. Therefore, being single saves me a lot of time and energy of which I can devote more to studies.  Topic sentence  Examples  Illustration  Wrap-up

6.  Being single reduces the possibility of getting distracted and emotional and provides me with a better study atmosphere. Sometimes love is as sweet as the rose blossoms, sometimes love turns into the dangerous thorns that might accidentally hurt. A relationship not only brings happiness, sweetness and fun, but also involves jealousy, worries and distractions. For instance, seeing your boyfriend/girlfriend with another girl/boy easily makes you jealous and worried; a fight or misunderstanding between you two might distract you from normal work and study for a whole day. It is but a striking fact that when in love, people tend to focus so much on that special someone that whenever a little incident arises, they become emotional. Hence, by reducing the possibility of getting distracted and emotional, being single provides me with a better study atmosphere. Topic Sentence Examples Illustration Wrap-up
