QUESTIONS FOR PART3 
Why do yon think some people talk aloud on public transport?
It is quite understandable as to why some have to resort to loud talking in places 
which they are supposed to speak softly or remain in silence. Take me as an 
example, while sitting on the bus, especially during peak time, when it is packed 
in like sardines and there is not even room to swing a cat, it is normal that 
people would have a chit chat with their friends sitting next to them, or do some 
work like answering phone calls from their boss or partners. It’s nothing but a 
mess, so people have to raise their voice so that their counterparts can get the 
hang of what they are talking about. 
Should people be banned from talking aloud in public places?
Currently, there's no rule which prohibits people from talking out loud in public 
places. But I guess there shouldn’t be one, as it seems out of the question to 
carry out such a law. As I have mentioned, there are not too many times when 
people make a racket, only when it’s jam packed and there is a need to talk 
out loudly to attract others’ attention. Besides, every person has a different 
character, which means some are born talkative, while others would love to 
remain silent, so I reckon education should take priority rather than 
establishing rules and regulations. 
Is it bad to talk on the phone in public places? 
It is not totally gross o talk on the phone in public places as the need to reach 
others via phone is a basic one. Having said that, t’s well-advised to keep the

conversations concise and to the point instead off going round-about or sharing 
private information publicly like that. Also, it’s not socially unacceptable if people 
keep their voice down a bit, speaking in a way that both the caller and the 
recipient can understand each other.
