PART 1
QUIET/NOISY PLACES
Do you like quiet or noisy places?
(Answer 1)
I love the former (first choice), and that’s because I feel at ease in those kinds of places. I enjoy spending my time in quiet places, such as libraries, quiet cafés, parks, and beaches, especially on weekdays. With those places, I can think and reflect on my life.
(Answer 2)
I love both of them, and it depends on my mood and the situation I’m in. If I do something serious, I want to stay in a quiet place so I can easily concentrate. However, if I want to interact with others or I want to destress, I prefer visiting places with a lot of people, and where I can forget about my work.
Would you like to go to quiet or noisy places on weekends when you are free?
(Answer 1)
Well, there’s already a lot of noise and stress at work, so without a doubt (absolutely), I go for a quiet place in order to recharge my batteries (to regain one’s energy). I can either stay at home on weekends, read a book, or binge (indulge) my favorite TV series, go hiking, or enjoy the sea breeze.
(Answer 2)
For me, weekends are for socializing, so it’s expected to visit noisy places. It’s common for me to meet my friends on weekends at a restaurant or a bar. I enjoy the ambiance (atmosphere) of those places, because it simply makes me alive after working like a dog (to work very hard) for the entire weekdays.
