1.How peaceful is your area?
My neighborhood is pretty calm and quiet. I am fairly lucky to live there actually, because in general

my hometown is quite loud with all the traffic and the people honking their horns. It's so annoying
！
However, I live in a new residential area not far from a park. So although many people live there,
the roads are wide and the traffic is smooth, but there are no night clubs or karaoke bars. It's a
peaceful place and everyone appreciates it a lot.
2. What are some of the problems that urban noise may lead to?
I think the main concern here is that noise is simply really irritating
！
When drivers honk their horns
all the time as soon as the light turns green, or to signal their intention to overtake
（＝
pass), it's so
annoying
！
In addition, the fact that electric bikes are equipped with loud alarms that go off every
two minutes whenever someone walks by is so irritating
！
If you live in a noisy neighborhood, where
street vendors set up their stands to sell food or whatever, it could be more difficult to get some
sleep at night or harder for students to concentrate on their studies.
3. How might the level of urban noise be reduced?
Well, first of all, drivers shouldn't be allowed to honk in the city, and policemen should enforce this
law. In addition, traffic conditions should be improved, because noise frequently originates from
traffic jams. If traffic is smooth, cars will just go by without stopping
．
So the engines won't roar. I
guess that new houses should be built as far as possible from the roads
．
And planting trees in
between streets and apartments could be a way to reduce noise levels significantly.
4. Why is it sometimes important for people to be alone
？
Well, it's essential to find time and a place to be by yourself from time to time in order to relax and
recharge your batteries. If you are alone, you don't need to talk; you can just daydream and take it
easy. I like to go for a walk on my own at night, when the streets are not so crowded. It's a good
time for me to contemplate
（＝
think deeply about) my daily life and my future.
