Нужно написаь краткое содержание текста на англиском, 100 слов. I have a phobia of sound
For the last 30 years, I have had violent physical reactions to certain noises. Everyday sounds, like someone chewing or a pen being clicked, make me want to hide, scream, and put my fingers in my ears.
1. I feel unreasonable complaining to people about these seemingly harmless sounds, but for me they are threatening. My body reacts in the same way as it would under attack: I am flooded with adrenaline. It is as if I were in the same room as a huge, fierce dog. I am unable to focus on anything but my terror. I often have to hang up on phone calls abruptly, leave my seat and walk around the room, trying to block out the noise.
2. My phobia began when I was 19 and started work in a busy office. The noise of a colleague next to me who chewed gum incessantly became unbearable. My ears tuned in to every sound until they filled my head, and I couldn't focus on my work. This cacophony was added to by another colleague who continually whistled, until I was forced to leave.
3. The path of my life has been dictated by the sounds around me. I have changed jobs numerous times, searching for the perfect quiet office. I have moved house, too, away from loud music or arguing neighbours. Strangely, I'd love to Iive near a motorway: the constant hum of traffic would be soothing to me.
4. My phobia has affected my ability to get on in life. During my final examinations at university. I was doing realy well, translating Greek with ease, until the scratching of a pen against paper filtered into my consciousness, bringing me to a halt. During another exam, a nearby pub had a delivery and the sound of barrels being rolled along by whistling delivery men destroyed any chance of concentration, I discovered afterwards that I was two marks off a first.
5. My biggest regret is that it has prevented me from having a long-term relationship and children The longest I have been with someone is two years, until the sound of their eating breathing, ust existing in proximity to me became intolerable. I would sneak off to the spare room in the night to try to get some sleep, but it would be interpreted as a rejection of them. It's hard to stay with someone who doesn't want to eat or sleep with you. I haven't ruled out love yet. though. I'm sure there is someone who could accept my limitations.
6. It took me 30 years to realize that what I have has a name. misophonia, or hatred of sound. recently discovered a support forum dedicated to It. I cried for two hours felt so relieved to know that oher people- 900 of them on this one site feit like I did. I wasn't the only one.
7. I also gave me perspective Some sufferers wish they were deal, but I don't love many many sounds the sea and in the trees, music the human voice Time and experience have taught me that being able to hear Is a beautiful thing too important to sacrifice. would.never wish that away.
