Part 1 topics > Crowded places

When was the last time you were in a crowded place?


Sample answer
The last time I was in a crowded place was during the Spring Festival last year. I went back to my hometown to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks display. There were thousands of people gathered by the riverbank. Although I felt a bit uncomfortable with the large crowd, I could sense the festive atmosphere and the strong sense of celebration. Despite the overwhelming number of people, I still managed to enjoy the experience and had a great time. It was a memorable and joyous occasion, filled with the spirit of the holiday season.

Is the city where you live crowded?


Sample answer
Yes, the city where I live is indeed crowded. I reside in Beijing, the capital city of China, which attracts a large number of people for work and tourism. As a result, the city is often bustling with crowds everywhere. The primary reason for the congestion is the sheer volume of people flocking to Beijing. Additionally, the inadequate urban planning and traffic management exacerbate the issue, especially during rush hours when commuting to and from work. The combination of a high population density and suboptimal transportation infrastructure contributes to the crowded conditions in the city.

Do you like crowded places?


Sample answer
I do not enjoy crowded places. As an introverted person, I value tranquility, and crowded environments make me feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed. The noise and chaos can easily disrupt my peace of mind. Additionally, crowded places may pose safety hazards, such as the risk of stampedes or accidents. Therefore, I prefer to avoid crowded areas whenever possible and seek out quieter spaces where I can feel more at ease.

Is there a crowded place near where you live?


Sample answer
Yes, there is a crowded place near where I live. There is a local farmers' market that tends to get very congested. Especially in the mornings, many residents flock there to purchase fresh ingredients, and it can even involve waiting in queues. Personally, I'm not fond of crowded places, so I try to go shopping during quieter hours, such as around noon or in the afternoon, to avoid the peak rush. This allows me to navigate the market more comfortably and efficiently.
