Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a noisy place you have been to. You should say

– where it was
– why you went there
– why it was noisy
and explain how you felt about being there.

Answer

Well, I actually have been to a very noisy place recently! I went to a concert at the city park. I’d heard about the upcoming performance from friends, and we were all really excited to go, so I got us tickets as soon as they were available. Everyone was looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere of one of the city’s iconic venues.

We were expecting an amazing night, but it was so much more than that! The place was crowded with people who couldn’t wait to see the show. As soon as the opening act started performing, it got incredibly loud! The bass was shaking the entire place down, and there were thousands of people screaming and singing along! It was a truly unique experience, one that I’ll never forget.

The noise level reached its peak when the headliner came on stage; you could feel the energy in the air! The screams and cheers of excitement seemed endless as everyone sang along to every song! It was definitely a fun atmosphere, although it was also quite overwhelming at times, especially because of how loud it was.

Overall, it was an incredible experience. Despite feeling slightly overpowered by all of the noise, I enjoyed every moment of it! It’s something that will definitely stay with me forever.
