Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine， but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example， most people would agree that talking loudly in a library， a museum， or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends， it is better to keep your voice down in public places. In fact， we should also take care not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.
