Ví dụ: Why do you think some people like noisy places?
(Theo bạn vì sao một số người thích những nơi ồn ào?)
→ Probably because they enjoy the dynamic atmosphere. I could only think of bars and
clubs when it comes to noisy places in the city and it is likely that the loud music as
well as noises inside those places make them feel more youthful and alive. Other
than that, I couldn’t think of any other reason.
(Có lẽ là vì họ yêu thích không khí sôi động ở những nơi đó. Tôi chỉ có thể liên tưởng
tới các quán bar hay câu lạc bộ khi nói tới những nơi ồn ào, có lẽ âm nhạc và tiếng ồn
tại những nơi đó khiến mọi người cảm thấy trẻ trung và sung sức. Ngoài ra, tôi không
thể nghĩ đến lý do nào khác.)
