Sample Answers

Do you like to be in a place with a lot of noise? Actually, I'm not a big fan of loud places. I think it's because I value my alone time and quiet spaces, and too much noise can be overwhelming. For example, I avoid going to crowded restaurants or concerts because I find it hard to focus and relax in those environments.

What kind of noises are there where you live? Well, I live in a pretty urban area, so there's a lot of traffic noise and construction sounds during the day. At night, it's a bit quieter, but you can still hear the occasional car horn or police siren. I'm not a big fan of the noise, but I've learned to adapt and use earplugs or white noise to help me sleep.

Do you want to move to a quieter place? Yeah, I think about it sometimes. I'd love to live in a more rural area where it's peaceful and quiet. I think it would be great to wake up to the sound of birds chirping instead of car horns. But, for now, I'm stuck in the city for work and school, so I'm trying to make the most of it.

Do you think there is too much noise in today’s world? Definitely. I think with the rise of technology and urbanization, there's just so much more noise pollution than there used to be. From traffic and construction to social media and 24-hour news cycles, it can be hard to find quiet time. I think it's affecting people's mental health and productivity, too.

Is making noise a person’s right? I think it's a complex issue. On one hand, people should be able to express themselves and have fun, and noise is a part of that. On the other hand, excessive noise can be a disturbance and affect others' quality of life. I think there needs to be a balance between individual freedom and consideration for others.
