BE QUIET AT THE LIBRARY
Sumary:
The library has always been your favorite place to read and study. You enjoy the quiet atmosphere, the smell of books, and the steady sound of pages turning. Today, you went there to finish some homework, hoping for peace and focus. At first, everything was perfect—you found a comfortable seat by the window and opened your notebook. But then, a group of students came in and sat nearby. They weren’t loud at first, but soon they started whispering, then laughing, and finally talking almost as if they were in the cafeteria. You tried to ignore them, but the noise made it impossible to concentrate. You looked around and noticed other people glancing at them too, clearly annoyed but not saying anything. You felt torn—you wanted the quiet back, but you also didn’t want to cause a scene. After another burst of laughter, you sighed and pulled out your phone to text someone about the situation.
Your Text:
“I came to the library for some peace and quiet, but these students near me won’t stop talking and laughing. It’s so distracting.”
Your Task:
Write your response text. Share what you would do about the noisy students and how you feel about it.
Read the response first and then listen to the audio if necessary.
Their Audio Response (Receiver):
“Ugh, I know how that feels. That’s the worst when people forget the library is supposed to be quiet. Do you think you’ll ask them to stop, or just move to another spot?”
