Polished transcript:

Male Female

I tend to study by myself in a quiet room. The reason for that is I can easily get distracted and lose my focus, even because of a walking cat or a noise. However, I can also get bored being alone in a room. So when I decide to leave my house to work on something, I prefer a café near the seaside close to my house. That café has two floors, and the upper floor only welcomes quiet adults with laptops. I can work efficiently in that café. I reckon the reason for that is its quaint, decorated atmosphere has an impact on my preference too.
