“There is no doubt about it; it ’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door.

五、One possible version:
Should Teenagers Have the Experience of Living Alone at Home
Recently, our class had a discussion about whether teenagers should have the experience of living alone at home. I believe they should. Firstly, living alone helps teenagers learn to be independent. During my summer vacation, I stayed home alone for a week while my parents were away. I had to cook my own meals, do the laundry, and manage my time effectively. This experience taught me valuable life skills and made me more confident. Secondly, being alone also gives us a chance to reflect on ourselves and understand our needs better.
However, safety is indeed a concern, but with proper preparations and guidelines, it can be managed. For instance, knowing how to handle emergencies and having reliable contacts can provide a sense of security. In conclusion, the benefits of gaining independence outweigh the risks, and teenagers can definitely benefit from living alone at home.
