Dưới đây là một số câu hỏi thường gặp trong phần thi IELTS Speaking part 1 topic Noise and quiet places
To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of loud noises, especially when I’m trying to focus or unwind. Living in Ho Chi Minh City, I’ve kind of gotten used to the constant hum of traffic and street vendors, but it can still get on my nerves sometimes. That said, I don’t mind softer sounds, like the chatter in a café—it’s oddly comforting in a way.
Oh, absolutely, some noises drive me up the wall! For instance, the sound of construction work near my apartment is just unbearable—those drills and hammers going non-stop in the morning are a real headache. I also find it tough to deal with loud motorbike horns, especially when I’m stuck in traffic. It’s like they’re screaming right into your soul!
I’d say there’s definitely an overload of noise these days, especially in urban areas like Hanoi or Saigon. Between the constant traffic, blaring advertisements, and everyone’s phones going off all the time, it’s hard to find a moment of peace. I suppose it’s just a byproduct of our fast-paced lifestyle, but it does make me crave some quiet now and then.
Hmm, if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say yes, cities are definitely getting noisier. In places like Da Nang, where I grew up, there’s been a boom in construction and tourism, so you’ve got more vehicles, more crowds, and more nightlife. It’s exciting, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a far cry from the quieter days I remember as a kid.
Oh, cities are hands-down noisier than the countryside. In urban areas like Saigon, you’re bombarded with sounds—honking motorbikes, street vendors shouting, and music blasting from shops. In contrast, my grandparents’ village in Hue is so serene, with just the occasional rooster crowing or the rustle of leaves. It’s like night and day!
Living in a bustling city like Hanoi, I’m surrounded by all sorts of noises. There’s the constant roar of motorbikes zooming by, the chatter of street vendors selling phở or bánh mì, and even the occasional karaoke session from my neighbor’s house. To be perfectly honest, it’s become so normal that I barely notice it anymore—unless it’s a particularly loud day!
7. Are there any sounds that you like?
I’m actually quite fond of natural sounds, like the gentle patter of rain on the roof or the chirping of birds in the early morning. Growing up near the Perfume River in Hue, I used to love the sound of water lapping against the boat docks—it’s so calming. Even now, whenever I’m stressed, I put on some rain soundtracks to help me chill out.
