　　Do you like quiet or noisy places?　Answer: Definitely the quiet places cos they seem to have that magical power to calm me down, especially when I feel there’s something stirring inside me. This is especially the true when I think I’m overwhelmed with heavy workload and there’s the loud noise around me. If I don’t run to those quiet places, I’ll definitely lose my mind.

　　What kinds of noise can you hear in daily life?　　Answer: Well, basically every kind of noise you have heard before. I think noises are everywhere to be heard in our modern life. I mean, I can hear the annoying background music from the shops downstairs the first thing when I wake up and it will continue all day long till the bedtime. And since I live on the street pretty close to the road, the unpleasant noise of cars and trucks blaring down the road really put me off when I really need to concentrate on what I’m doing.

　　be everywhere to be heard 随处可以听到

　　blare 动词，刺耳大声地响

　　put me off 让我分心

　　Would you like to go to quiet or noisy places on weekend or when you are free?　　Answer: Well, the truth is I found myself ill at ease, or you can say I’m on edge whenever I’m at someplace noisy. This is more than I could bear and all I want to do is run away from the spot. But when I am at some quiet places like cafes or parks, I can breathe freely and it really helps to take my mind off things. Such places are sanctuaries for me, cos they offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

　　Language bits

　　ill at ease 感到不自在

　　on edge 不安，紧张

　　It’s more than I could bear.这超出了我的承受范围。

　　the spot 地点

　　offer an escape from sth. 提供了一个逃离…...的地方

　　the hustle and bustle 熙熙攘攘

　　How do you deal with the noise ?/What do you do when there’s a loud noise?　　Answer: Well, you just detect the source of noise and make it stop. For example, the other day I was really irritated by the loud and incessant noise of water dripping going on all night, I told the landlord about it. And it turned out that someone forgot to turn the tap off. So I could fall into a sound sleep again .

　　Language bits

　　be irritated by 被……惹恼，激怒

　　incessant 无休无止的，不停止的

　　fall into a sound sleep 深度睡眠
