This time we have prepared some possible exam interviewing questions which you should answer with a sense of doubtlessness.

What kind of places are commonly crowded in your neighborhood?

Recently everything in my city! However, I would say especially the streets, since the increasing of business, they tend to become overcrowded with vehicles. Moreover, markets and shopping malls are quite hectic (stressful), as people in my country enjoy shopping.


Do you like to go to crowded places?

By no means, people would enjoy crowded places. I can´t stand the overwhelming feeling to be pushed and shoved. Furthermore, it’s even worse in the summer when people are sweating and have body odor.
