I’d like to describe my grandmother’s house which is the quietest place I’ve ever been. It’s located in the middle of our countryside. It takes me about one hour to get there by car. I usually visit this place to look after the surrounding area and tidy it up. One thing I always notice is that there is a peaceful green step where we keep our pets and the lovely view of the mountains. Despite the fact that the village has a population of about 20,000, it’s almost always quite due to the lack of cars and pedestrians. In addition, only few visitors come there mostly to take care of their relatives. For example, rural residents tend to complete their tasks much earlier than urban ones. Therefore, there is no background noise in the streets. This area plays a crucial role in my life because I unwind from stress and hassle and bustle of the city. Overall, in spite of the fact that I rarely spend time there, it’s the place where I I can be alone with my thoughts without any noise.
