I agree with you. I am quite a sensitive person and I love to be quiet. I need to be really concentrated in order to do my job well. That's why the thing that I hate most about my staff room is the way my colleagues speak and chit-chat in the room. They talk so loudly that everyone can hear. 正所謂「三個女人一個墟」(roughly translated as "three women make a marketplace")。I don't really want to hear the content of their chit-chatting --- I'm not interested to do so.

Sometimes I just want to shut myself in a room where nobody would be able to find me, with a cup of my favourite floral tea and a few piles of homework (not more than 3 piles), and then do my marking quietly. People would say that I am not sociable --- yet I do hope that they would understand my need to be quiet.
