That's right, German has three words for English 'it'! But don't worry, there's a rule which lets you pick the right one! German nouns have grammatical gender and can be masculine (der), feminine (die), or neuter (das). You use 'er' to refer to masculine nouns, 'sie' for feminine nouns', and 'es' for neuter nouns:
der Hund is groß -> er is großdie Blume ist schön -> sie ist schöndas Haus ist riesig -> es ist riesig

Konjunktiv I is used to indicate reported speech (when you are telling someone what somebody else has said).
However, Konjunktiv I is seen as very formal, and so it is rarely used in spoken German. You will mostly find it in academic and journalistic German, where an academic might be summarising someone else's argument, or a journalist might be retelling information from a source. In both situations, Konjunktiv I shows that someone else's words and opinions are being told, not those of the author. This also means that in an A-Level exam, where you will have to write a short piece of formal German, you should use the Konjunktiv I where possible: it is appropriate in that style of writing (and lets you show off your grammar knowledge!)
You should also be aware that many Konjunktiv I forms look indentical to Present Tense forms, something which happens with all verbs, except in the 3rd person singular (er/sie/es) and with 'sein'. If you are emphasising that a statement is not yours, but the Konjunktiv I form coincides with the Present Tense form, you should use Konjunktiv II instead to avoid any confusion.

Here are the steps you need to follow when you are writing about a prose passage in German:
1) When close-reading the passage the first time: Get a first impression of the text ans underline any words which you are not familiar with. If you are permitted a dictionary, you may look the words up and write a definition next to them where they occur in the passage.
If you are not permitted a dictionary, think of the word in the context of the sentence. Are you familiar with the stem of the word? How do the other words in the sentence shape its potential meaning? Is there any contextual information which you can look up?
2) When close-reading a second time: When you read the passage a second time, highlight key words and phrases in the passage. These could be themes, pivotal actions, symbolisms or even a peculiar turn of phrase. Highlight phrases which you think give the passage its essence.
Then, what really helps to remember the close readings is giving each paragraph a title. "Sinnesabschnitte".
Watch out for stylistic devices. What are they in the passage? What is their effect on the reader and how to they impact the reader?
3) Now that you have gained a deeper understanding of the passage and how its meanings and themes are communicated through different kinds of sentence construction and stylistic devices, write these out on a separate piece of paper:
What happens before and after the passage?How can this passage be summarised?Are there any pivotal character or plot developments in the passage?What are the themes and do they apply to a greater context within and beyond the book the passage originates from?What are the stylistic devices and what is their effect?

Eine Person welche sich mit so einem Standpunkt ausdrückt erörtert das Sie keine fest Bindung in romantischer Sicht sucht. Dies kann auf einiges zurückzuführen sein - wie z.B. die Erziehung der Person oder vorherige Erfahrungen im Sinne des Liebeslebens.
Die Aussage beinhaltet auch den Eindruck das er/sie nicht bereit sei auf die Freiheiten sowohl als auch auf die genüsse des single Lebens zu verzichten.
"Ehe? Partnerschaft?...", zeigt dass die Person angst vor einer Trennung oder sogar Scheidung hat, welche sich durch das spezifische Beispiel bemerkbar macht.
Meiner Meinung nach könnte die Person ein Einzelkind gewesen sein was sich durch die mangelnde Verantwortung gegenüber Anderer zum Ausdruck bringt.
Eine Beziehung kann in beide Richtungen ausschlagen, sowohl negative als auch positiv. EIne gesunde und positive Beziehung kann dazu führen das man sich gesünder als auch glücklicher fühlt und mehr aus dem Leben machen kann in jeder Hinsicht - nicht nur auf die Beziehung beschränkt.
