I'm Mary. I'm 28 years old and I'm still single. Recently,I moved into a new flat. I quickly discovered I had noisy neighbours―a young couple,who have parties at least twice a week with loud dance music that shakes my walls. I've asked them nicely to turn it down,which they do at once,but then it starts up again until dawn. They're only renting―what else can I do?
Vicki Do everything you can ―including keeping a disturbance ( T扰) diary,calling their landlord (房东) ，finding out how their flat is rented and checking if they are doing something against the contract (合同) .It's too an?noying for you,lying in bed while the beat goes on and on. Buy earplugs for yourself;you can also go to see a doctor if you're being kept from sleeping. If their landlord is actually a management company based in Toronto j everything will be very slow,but you'll have to make this into a task and keep on until you win.
Octavia If they're renting,you can complain to their landlord,who can usually have them out in two months (or six at most) . I've seen some friends who were evicted after holding just one loud party and had to find another place to live in. Most landlords will force them to leave. Failing in that,you can complain to the local council,who in my experience do very little and very slow?ly. So don't get your hopes high. Actually,I think the best thing is to keep putting pressure on them;every time they make loud noise,go and knock on their door. Sometimes people just need something to realize that they're beha?ving badly.

1.I am so lucky because it is the third time that I (visit) the beauti- ful coastal city Qingdao.
Today,people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big,noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills,mountains,fields?rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets， buildings,traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries,the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a townspeople come to find work,and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby,where the factory workers can live in. The families of these workers need schools,hospitals and shops,so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world,there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States,this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city,far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant,with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years,and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
