　　雅思口語裡問「有很多人的地方、擁擠的地方」，這還能難倒咱們中國同學嘛！如果你經歷過遊樂場幾小時的排隊等候，那麼這道題簡直就是送分題!無論是迪士尼，還是歡樂谷，在高峰期能順利入園都是lucky you了，所以把你擠破頭的經歷從頭到尾娓娓道來，這道題就算答完了。

　　This topic reminds me of the time my friends and I went to an amusement park.

　　It was during peak season when basically everyone was on vacation 『cause it was a national holiday. The park was packed with visitors, it took us about half an hour to get our tickets, and another half an hour to go through security, 『cause there were long lines everywhere.

　　After we got in, we were like 『Oh my god』, I mean, there was a long line in front of every ride, so from that moment we knew, it’s impossible to try all the facilities in the time we had that day, so we just picked several rides that we were most interested in, but it turned out they were the most popular ones. We had a long wait before we got on the ride, for example, the roller coaster, we stood in line for almost 3 hours, but the ride only took us 2 minutes.

　　And the worst part is, after we got off the roller coaster, it started to rain, and all the outdoor facilities were closed. So we had no choice but to run to those indoor shows and games. However, everyone was doing the same thing, so things got worse, the lines became longer. Actually it only rained lightly, but when we got inside, we were all pretty soaked.

　　So you see, it was a terrible experience, and it taught me a lesson, which is, never go to a public place during festivals and national holidays, it would be a disaster.
