Noise Pollution in Taiwan


      Taiwan was a suitable country for people to live 20 years ago, and there were only a few skyscrapers and cars during that period. But, right now here full lots of noise pollution because people try to make their life better. Noise pollution makes people get sick easily in Taiwan. There are three types of noise pollution in Taiwan: too many clubs, crowded traffic and night markets.

      Clubs are very popular in Taiwan and can cause severe noise pollution. Clubs usually are located in downtown where most citizens live. They can get a lot of money there. Also, in order to let these people feel enjoyable, clubs always play loud music. Moreover, many people get drunk and sometimes they are very easy to fight with each other. Clubs interrupt people's life very often because of noise pollution.

      Transportation makes people life more convenient, but it also bring some problems. People, who try to attract others' attention, usually modify their own car's engine and it can cause loud noise. Moreover, there are more vehicles than 20 years ago. During traffic jam moment, people who drive vehicle usually hoot the car in front of their car to tell them to go faster. To rescue people's life as soon as possible, ambulances hoot all the time to tell everyone that it is an emergency. Actually, it cannot be avoidable, because kind of this thing, it happens everyday. Sometimes we also need to consider the outcome, though transportation makes our life more convenient.

      Night market is a place for people to go shopping or eat some food. It's an interesting phenomenon that many vendors record their own voice through sound recorder to attract the attention of visitors. Also, people who go to night market not only want to go shopping, but also chat with their friends at ease. Last but not least, dogs are attracted very easily because of the smell of food from night market, and if you don't give them food they will bark to you. Therefore,  It's easy for the crowd to kill their time by going to night market, but it will make your surrounding noisily.

      In conclusion, it is a trend to make our life better because we need to progress. However, according to the reasons which I mentioned before, we should take  "Noise pollution"  into consideration seriously. Living in an advanced city but with noisy environment is not our original purpose.

Introduction

      I come from Taiwan which is a beautiful island, fulling a lot of delicious food, and the city I live is Taichung. The reasons why I choose ASU are weather, environment and less Asia students. According to my cousin description, the weather here is very hot and dry, and I think this place is very suitable for me because my nose is very sensitive. Moreover, I want to improve my english, and if I select a city which has a little Asia people, that will be great.
       I had a great job before I came to ASU. I worked in FAR EASTERN INTERNATIONAL BANK as a personal banker in my country. My interesting characteristic I think is playing guitar. Music could make me feel relax. Also, music could let me meet new friends easily. I plan to apply a finance master degree after I complete the program at Global Launch.
