雅思口语当季话题卡：Describe a time you went to a crowded place/Describe a crowded place you went to 拥挤的地方

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历撰写答案

该题目只有一个信息点：crowded place拥挤的地方。因为中国人口众多，所以小编瞬间就想到很多很拥挤的地方。比如，春运的火车站，排特别长得队才能进站，候车厅里人站的密密麻麻;比如以前没有高铁时的火车，走廊里都坐满了人，上厕所是一种奢望;比如黄金周的旅游景点，从高处望下去，只见人头，不见地面;比如演唱会的现场，散场和进场时极易造成交通拥堵;再比如某些网红餐厅，基本要等上2个小时左右。相信大家也都有某次人挤人的经历，想到之后跟考官说出来即可。

题目

Describe a time you went to a crowded place

另一个版本为：Describe a crowded place you went to

You should say:

When you went there

Where the place was

What you did there 吗

And explain why you went there / how you felt the crowded place

参考答案

我要告诉你的拥挤的地方是春运时的火车。春节是中国文化中最重要的一个节日，全国各地的人，无论年纪有多大，都会回到自己的家乡，与自己的父母、朋友、亲戚共度假期，跟圣诞节类似。我也一样。因为大家出行的日子差不多，因此会给交通系统带来极大的压力。

The crowded place I am going to tell you about is the train during the Spring Festival. Spring Festival is the most important festival in Chinese culture. No matter where he is and how old he is, every Chinese would return to his hometown and celebrate the festival with his parents, relatives, and friends. I would do the same thing as well. Since people choose almost the same time to set off, the transport system is under great pressure.

我仍然记得大二那一年寒假回家时火车拥挤的样子。一进车厢，我就被震惊了。座位上、过道上、车厢连接处，甚至座位下，到处都是人。有些人自己买有马扎坐着，有些人只能站着。他们肩并着肩，背靠着背。幸运的是，作为一个学生，我享有购票的优先权，因此我好赖有个座位。但从入口到座位的路简直如地狱一般，我得仔细观察，才能保证自己不会踩到别人。坐到座位之后，再想移动就是种奢望了。我必须小心控制自己的饮水，因为上厕所也是极其困难的过程。

I still remember how crowded the train was when I returned home in my junior year at university. The moment I stepped into the coach, I was astonished. There were people everywhere, be it on the seats, in the aisles, in the junctions between cars and even under the seats. Some people sat on the stool they bought, while some just stood, with their shoulders against shoulders and backs against backs. Do not copy or repost it. Luckily, as a student, I enjoyed the privilege to buy tickets in advance, so I had got a seat. But the journey from the door to the seat was quite challenging. I had to be very careful so that I would not put my foot on the limbs of somebody else. Once I sat down, movement was a luxury. I had to reduce the amount of water I drank as much as possible, for going to the toilet was almost impossible.

这趟旅程非常痛苦。幸运的是，第二年中国推出了高铁，火车拥挤情况得到极大的缓解。

This was a really tough journey. Fortunately, China launched high-speed trains the year after, which greatly alleviate the crowd of the train.
