2020年5-8月 雅思口语 Part 3 Topic 14 拥挤的地方

1. Do people like to go to crowded places? Why?

Most people do not like to go to crowded places. There are many things about crowded places which make them a very uncomfortable place to be. For one, they can often become very hot and stuffy （闷热的） which is unpleasant. Furthermore, being in a very crowded place can be confusing and disorientating. It is easy to lose your sense of direction and even lose your friends and family when you are in a large crowd. So crowded places are not nice to be in.

2. How can the problems of traffic congestion be solved?

The best way to solve the problem of traffic congestion is to invest more into public transport and encourage its usage. The only way to reduce traffic congestion is to reduce the number of cars that are on the road. However, people still need to commute to work and to visit places, therefore there needs to be an effective form of transport. Thus, investing in improved train and metro transport systems would greatly reduce traffic congestion.

3. Why do people still like to live in big cities even though there are severe traffic jams?

People like to live in big cities despite the severe traffic jams because cities offer a wide range of opportunities and facilities that make people want to live there. Large cities are often the best place to find good work with a decent （相当好的）salary, so people like to live near these opportunities. Furthermore, large cities often have amazing restaurants, arts and events, so there are loads of fun things to do in the cities. It is all worth the traffic.

4. What public facilities does your city have?

I live in a quite large city and therefore it has many public facilities. Yet, my two favourite public facilities are definitely the public library and the public gym. It is fantastic that in my city we have an amazing library that gives the citizens access to a huge range of information and literature. I also like the public gym, as private gyms are often very expensive, so it is fortunate that my city has supplied it citizens with affordable exercise facilities.
