Topic #5: Pet Peeves

Two weeks ago, I took an exam in my reading class. The boy sitting behind me made a lot of noise during the exam. He dropped his pen on the desk; thus he made the noise that disturbed me. What’s worse, during the exam, he used his iPhone without turning it to quiet mode; therefore, when he unlocked his iPhone, he made the noise again. These behaviors disturbed me negatively when I was concentrating on my exam; when I focus on my study or the exam, I need a very quiet environment. Feeling annoyed during the exam, however, I could not do anything.

            The second pet peeve I want to share also happened in my reading class. Unfortunately, the boy made a lot of noise during the exam annoyed my again.  Every Friday, we have a discussion about Giver, a famous novel in America. Every student will have a different job such as group leader, summarizer, word master, in the discussion. Last week, the boy, who is the group leader, and I were in the same group. As a group leader, it is your responsibility to prepare some questions about the chapters we read this week; thus, the discussion will move on successfully. However, the questions the boy asked were about the chapters in the beginning of the book; last week, we finished reading the Giver. Our group leader didn’t prepare anything about the discussion. I think it was his responsibility to finish his job; however, he didn’t finish it. Feeling annoyed during the discussion, however, I could not do anything again.
