Band 7+: Describe a crowded place you have been to. You should say: where the place is (or, was) when you went there with whom you went there and explain how you felt about this crowded place.

All my life I've been to many different places, but the most crowded place has to be Musée de Lourdes in Paris. The reason why this place is so vivid in my memories is that I was there during the holidays when it was packed with students from different parts of France and foreign countries. Most of them went there for a school trip, and so did I. Therefore, every corner of the museum, both inside and outside, was full of people. Don't get me wrong, I love the sculptures and buildings and everything, you know. But I think it would be nicer if the place were empty enough that we could enjoy viewing the displayed objects without having to rush or worry about the people behind us who might push us. It was such an incredible experience in one sense, but it was another headache figuring out how to deal with the crowd. My friends had the same feeling and wished to reschedule our trip, especially trying to avoid the holiday seasons, and I totally agree with that. I wish the school management team could take a deep consideration about when to plan for the next batch of students to visit there. I was fortunate enough to be able to go there with my friends from Thailand, and I know that I wouldn't be able to do that again since right now I'm still in Cambodia. If I had a chance in the future, I would love to visit there again, but it would be with my family. I want to bring my children to see the magnificent places and experience French architectural buildings, not in the same kind of atmosphere.
