I prefer working in a quite place without noise in the background.The reason is I will feel hard to focus on working if someone talking around me. If colleagues want to share their idea or have a brain storming they can go to the meeting room easily, but please don`t bother me.

ReplyDeleteI prefer to work with no noise in the background. If the place that I work have a lot of noise, I have a hard time to focus on my job. Besides, noise makes people feel nervous or pressure. For those reasons, I prefer work in a quiet place because I can work hard without distracted. Randy Lin
ReplyDeleteI prefer to work without some noise. Because, when I heard some noise while I work, I cannot concentrate on work. For example, If the noise was music, it is not bad. But if the noise was conversation, it is too bad. Because when I heard to hear someone's talk, even if I do not like to hear,there is no choice but to do so. because it is instinct of human.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to stay in a quite place to work because it is very difficult for me to focus on work if the environment is really noisy. First, when I am working/studying, I need 100% concentrate on what I am doing. I can not stand any noise while I am working/studying. Second, I am very impatient when I am working/studying with noisy background. My brain doesn't work when it works with loud immelodious sounds.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to work without noise because when it requires all the attention possible, I'm able to think much better in a quite place. But if I work as doing something in a process that will always been doing the same, I would rather to work with music or a little noise to don't be bored. Marja
ReplyDeleteI perfer not to have noise in the background because noises are annoying. But sometimes I could not stand a extremely quiet place neither. I like to play some music in the background, it brings a breezy atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI prefer work in a quiet place because I can focus better, but I do not like to feel complete alone. If the place is to silent I feel a little by bored. When I don't find a quiet place, and every place is noises, I can isolate for complete. Jennifer Bradfrod
