Sample 02:
People hold different views about whether people should have the freedom to produce noise 
or comply with some regulations of it. In my view, it is important that noise making be put 
under control.
On the one hand, it is understandable why some people believe in their rights to generate 
noise freely. As people these days often have to suffer from considerable stress at work or 
school, they tend to find an effective way to relieve it. In some cases, recreational activities 
such as karaoke singing or party holding can bring a certain amount of relaxation, 
mitigating stressful situations for everyone. If too strictly imposed, any restriction of noise 
may deter people from gaining access to one of the useful methods of relaxing.

However, I can understand the arguments against noise makers. Firstly, excessive levels of 
noise can cause serious disturbance to the nearby residents who also have the rights to take 
a proper rest after a tiring day. Those who are affected by the loud sounds from their 
neighbours may not only be unable to relax but also have their levels of discomfort 
increased. In the long term, this will definitely have a negative impact on their quality of 
life. Another reason for this opinion is that too much noise can produce detrimental effects 
on the health of the unintentional hearers. For example, constant exposure to high pitch 
noise can result in auditory problems, for example hearing loss. Hearing-impaired 
individuals are very likely to experience difficulty in their daily life.
In conclusion, although there are good reasons why people should be allowed to make as 
much noise as they wish, in my opinion some appropriate controls are necessary.
