Question 1: Describe a noisy place you have been to

Sample Answer: Oh, definitely the market in Marrakech. It was absolutely overwhelming! I went there last summer with my family, and the noise was just incredible – a constant cacophony of sounds. You had the vendors shouting their prices in Arabic, trying to get your attention, the bleating of goats and sheep being herded through the narrow streets, the rhythmic clang of metal from a blacksmith's workshop nearby, and then the constant chatter and haggling of shoppers. There were also donkeys braying, and the occasional motorbike horn cutting through everything. It was almost sensory overload, but in a strangely exciting way. It wasn’t unpleasant noise, though – more like a vibrant, energetic buzz that was part of the whole exciting atmosphere of the place. I mean, you really felt the energy of the market, you know? It was definitely a unique experience, even if it gave me a headache after a while.

Question 1: Do you think it is good for children to make noise?

Sample Answer: Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag, isn't it? On the one hand, it's completely natural for kids to be noisy – they're full of energy and exploring the world, so some level of noise is just part of their development. I mean, they're learning through play, and that often involves shouting, banging, singing off-key… all that kind of thing. Completely normal. But obviously, there's a limit. It's important to teach them about appropriate noise levels and when to be quiet, like in a library or a cinema, or even just when someone's trying to sleep. So I think it's not about stopping them from making noise entirely, but more about guiding them to understand social situations and respect other people's need for peace and quiet. It’s about finding a balance, really.

Question 2: Should children not be allowed to make noise under any circumstances?

Sample Answer: Oh, definitely not! I mean, kids being kids, right? It's natural for them to be noisy, it's part of their development. Completely silencing them would be unrealistic and probably quite detrimental to their well-being. They need to express themselves, explore their environment, and learn through play, and that often involves noise. Of course, there are times and places where it's inappropriate – like a library or a hospital – but to say they shouldn't *ever* make a sound is just unreasonable. It's more about teaching them when and where it's acceptable to be loud and when they need to be quieter, rather than trying to suppress their natural exuberance. Think about it – a completely silent child might be a sick child, or a child who's not engaging with the world around them. So, a bit of noise is perfectly fine, even expected, I'd say.

Question 3: What kinds of noises are there in our life?

Sample Answer: Oh wow, that's a broad question! I guess there's a huge range, from the really subtle ones you barely notice, like the hum of the fridge, to the really loud and disruptive ones. Then you've got natural sounds, like the wind rustling through trees or waves crashing on the beach – those can be really calming, actually. And of course, there's all the city noise – car horns, sirens, construction work – that's often pretty stressful. I also think about the noises technology makes; the constant notifications from your phone, the clicking of keyboards, even the quiet whirring of a laptop. And then there are the sounds of people – laughter, talking, crying – all sorts of human noises that form the background hum of life. It's interesting to think about how much of our lives is shaped by the sounds around us, even the quiet ones.

Question 4: Which area is exposed to noise more, the city or the countryside?

Sample Answer: Oh, definitely the city. I mean, in the countryside you might hear birds and maybe some farm machinery, but it's nothing compared to the constant barrage of noise in a city. You've got traffic – cars, buses, sirens – all day and night. Then there's construction work, people chatting loudly on the streets, music blasting from shops... it's just a much higher density of noise sources. Even at night, it's rarely truly quiet. The countryside has a much more peaceful and natural soundscape.

Question 5: How would people usually respond to noises in your country?

Sample Answer: Well, it really depends on the type of noise and the context, I guess. If it's something like a car horn in a busy city, people mostly just ignore it – it's part of the background noise. But if it's a really loud or unusual noise, like a sudden bang or a persistent, disruptive sound, people tend to look around, maybe even a bit anxiously, to see what's going on. In quieter areas, especially in villages, people are probably more likely to react more noticeably – maybe they’ll look out their windows or even go outside to investigate. And then there’s the whole thing with construction noise – generally people just accept it as temporary, though sometimes you'll hear complaints if it's going on late at night or at weekends. So it's not a simple answer, it varies a lot!

Question 6: How can people consider others’ feelings when chatting in public?

Sample Answer: Well, I think the biggest thing is just being mindful of your volume. Shouting into your phone or having a loud, animated conversation really intrudes on other people's space, especially in quieter places like libraries or cafes. Also, the content matters. If you're discussing something personal or sensitive, maybe it's better to save it for a private call or a text message. And finally, I think it's good to be aware of your body language. If you're taking up a lot of space or blocking walkways while you're chatting, that can be really annoying for others. Basically, it's all about being considerate and thinking about how your actions might affect those around you.
