I think people should spend time with both close friends and wider friendship groups.

Close friends provide deeper support, while groups offer variety and help people fit in with different personalities.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone might discuss a personal problem with one close friend but join a larger group for sport or celebrations.

Traffic noise is especially noticeable during rush hour, while construction sounds can continue for many hours.

[EXAMPLE]Example

What kinds of places should be noise-free?

Những loại địa điểm nào nên giữ yên tĩnh?

[POINT]Point

Hospitals, libraries, places of worship and certain study areas should be as quiet as possible.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Noise should be kept down because people in these places may be resting, concentrating or reflecting.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A hospital ward especially needs peace and quiet so patients can sleep and recover.

[EXTEND]Extend

Complete silence is not always realistic, but unnecessary conversations, music and phone sounds should be controlled.

Children can be taken to quiet places if adults supervise them and the rules are suitable for their age.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Noise etiquette can be taught gradually, such as speaking softly in a library or hospital.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A young child who cannot remain quiet for long may need shorter visits.

[EXTEND]Extend

The goal should be respectful behaviour rather than excluding children completely, because they also need opportunities to learn how different public spaces work.
