Sample Answers
What places do you think are often crowded? I think places like shopping malls, train stations, and tourist attractions are often crowded. For instance, during holidays or special events, these areas tend to attract a lot of people, which can make them feel really packed. I mean, who doesn't love a good sale or a famous landmark, right? But, honestly, I try to avoid these places during peak hours to avoid the chaos.
When was the last time you were in a crowded place? Actually, it was last weekend when I went to a music festival in the city. The venue was huge, but it was still super crowded, especially near the stage. I was a bit uncomfortable at first, but once the music started, I forgot all about the crowds and just enjoyed the show. It was an amazing experience, and the energy of the crowd was infectious.
How do you feel when you are in a crowded place? Honestly, I'm not a big fan of crowded places. I feel a bit anxious and overwhelmed when there are too many people around me. I think it's because I value my personal space, and when that's invaded, I can get a bit stressed. However, I've learned to cope with it by taking deep breaths and focusing on my surroundings. Plus, sometimes the crowds can be a great people-watching opportunity, which can be pretty entertaining.
