II. SAMPLE ANSWERS:
- Do you mind noises?
I would say I’m pretty tolerant to noises when I’m not asleep or studying. But when I am about to fall asleep, I become very sensitive to any kind of noise, and even the slightest noise can make me irritated. Sometimes I toss and turn throughout the night just because I hear the birds singing.
2. What types of noise do you come across in your daily life?
We are surrounded by different sounds both indoors and outdoors. My typical day starts with the sound of boiling water as I can’t imagine my morning without a cup of coffee. Every single day I’m accompanied by roaring engines, slammed doors, mouse clicking and constantly ringing phones.
3. Are there any sounds that you like?
Oh yeah! Splashing waves sound like music to me. I also enjoy the sound of rain when I’m inside and don’t have to go anywhere. In addition, I can’t help but mention the piano sound. This makes me fall asleep as soon as it plays
4. Where can you hear loud noises?
From several sources. It can come from crazy drivers on the street or the construction of a high-rise building. And especially bars and pubs, this is probably the noise that makes some people feel the most comfortable
5. Are cities becoming noisier?
Yeah, the level of noise is getting higher and higher. In fact, it is now regarded as a type of environmental pollution. This is because nowadays cities are more crowded than in the past, which means that there’s much more traffic on roads. There are more people talking everywhere. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention air conditioning equipment which is one of the biggest parts of all ambient noise in today’s cities.
