hello dear listener and welcome into ielts speaking part three we are talking about quiet places and noise
is it easy to find quiet places in your country I think so.
There are only 5 million people in the whole country and we have a lot of open
green space and forests for people to go to.
Even in larger cities on nicer days, the countryside isn't that far off, which is pretty handy.
And of course, if you do n't have access to transport,
there are many, well, so many libraries and churches and the like,
you would n't struggle to find a place like that to be quiet or to have some quiet time.
Why are there more noises made at home now than in the past?
Well, there are more people nowadays than more people in the home, so that might be why.
I think I read somewhere that the materials for building them are lighter,
so if the walls are thinner, because the material is lighter, it 's easy to see how the noise might ramp up.
Especially in the cities.
And of course, there are more things in the homes to make noise, like phones going off or dogs and cats making a racket.
Why do old people prefer to live in quiet places?
I imagine they get sick and tired of all the ruckus and just want to get away from it all, which makes sense, I suppose.
If you spent decades in noisy surroundings working hard for a living,
then you might feel entitled to a little peace and quiet yourself.
Do you think only old people have time for leisure?
Oh, absolutely not.
