Пример ответа (около 2 минут)
The noisiest place I've been to recently is Chorsu Bazaar, the huge market in the old part of Tashkent, under a big blue dome. I went there with my mother on the Saturday before Navruz, which is probably the busiest day of the whole year.
The noise hits you as soon as you walk in. Sellers shout their prices and call out to anyone who walks past, "Come and try, the sweetest apricots in Tashkent!", and everywhere you look, people are bargaining loudly. On top of that, porters push heavy carts through the crowd, shouting at everyone to move, there's music coming from the stalls selling phone cases, and half the people around you are talking on their phones.
I have to admit that for the first ten minutes I felt completely overwhelmed. It was hard to hear my mother even when she was standing right next to me, and I kept being bumped by bags and carts.
But after a while, I started to enjoy it. There's a kind of energy in that noise that you don't get anywhere else. It sounds as if the whole city is alive and doing business at once, and it reminded me of going there as a child, holding my grandmother's hand.
So although I wouldn't want to spend every day somewhere that loud, I think I'd miss it if Chorsu ever became quiet.

Part 3: вопросы для обсуждения
Is noise pollution a serious problem in cities?
I'd say so. Constant traffic and building work affect people's sleep and stress levels, even if they stop noticing it consciously. In many cities, people who live near main roads rarely get a truly quiet night.
Is modern life too noisy?
In some ways, yes. Even when we're alone, there's usually something playing, a video, music or notifications, so a lot of people almost never experience real silence, and some even find it uncomfortable.
How can cities reduce noise?
Are some people better at working in noisy places than others?
