What I found very interesting is that a word, "listening" means very different between boys and girls.
For boys(men), listening is something they do together.- listening "with"
For girls(women), listening is something one side listen to the other side.-listening"for"
Almost everytime when I watch a show talking about marrige, I hear women are dissatisfied with their husband not listening to their stories. Well, because women and men take "listening" differently, I think it will remain to be a difficult problem.
About sound, I am not happy of people who listen to music so loud in trains.
One day, there was a guy on a train who was listening to music as if he does not have his headphone on. Fortunately, a guy who sat next to me told the guy to turn the volume down, however, I think people should take the sound effect more seriously.
I am planning to write about silence next time :)
