Describe a place where there was a lot of noise Model answer 1

Introduction
I will never forget going to a place where there was a lot of noise. I'll always remember it as a singular event. Although the cacophony was deafening and overwhelming, it also had a certain allure. I want to talk about that here.

When did this happen?
The summer of 2018 brought about this enduring event. On a family trip, I chose to explore a nearby city that I was visiting. I came upon a location with a lot of noise as I was wandering around.

Where was it?
This noisy area was located in a tiny village close to the city. A small number of eateries and shops may be found in the town. The commotion coming from this place intrigued me because I had never been to this town before.

Why was there a lot of noise?
The town was hosting a small music festival, which is where the noise was coming from. Locals were extremely devoted to the celebration, which honoured the town's history and culture. Everyone sang and danced to the loud, upbeat music.

Explain what you did when you heard the noise?
I was entranced by the loudness when I first heard it. I made the decision to partake and investigate the festival. I was taken aback by the festival's attendance numbers; the enthusiasm was palpable.

Conclusion
It was a genuinely wonderful event, and I learnt more about the town's history and culture.

• I went to kolkata last year to take a test. 
• To comfortably review all the study material before my exam the next day, I contacted them one day in advance. 
• To enjoy a calm atmosphere, I reserved a hotel. My idea, however, failed as a result of the adjacent society's noise.

Why was there a lot of noise?

• An argument between two neighbours who live in a lane close to my hotel was the cause of the noise. 
• One of the residents' improper parking was the problem.
• Both people started calling each other names and became really aggressive. 
• I initially chose to ignore it, but as time went on, I came to see how difficult it was to study in such a noisy setting.

Explain what you did when you heard the noise?

• I informed the hotel manager of the predicament over the phone right away. 
• He entered my room and, upon witnessing my situation, promptly dialled the police station and reported the incident.
• Within ten minutes, a police van showed up, and the guilty ones were apprehended. 
• Both culprits apologised to each other after some neighbour mediation, then left the area and went to their separate homes.

Describe a place where there was a lot of noise Model answer 3

Introduction
I always fantasised about buying all the items displayed in the mall. But like I said, I only dreamt about it as that could never be possible. 

When did this happen?
It was a cold breezy Saturday evening, as I just reached home and realised I needed to restock the grocery.

Where was it?
So this one time i happened to pass by the new supermarket which had opened recently in my area. As I was passing by the aisle I heard someone crying. The noise came from 2-3 aisle past my aisle. Following it, I realised it was a girl crying and as I pre assumed it was for the toys and treats which later turned out true.

Why was there a lot of noise?
Her mom was trying to convince her as she repeatedly chanted “pink barbie”. That little girl wanted to buy a lot of barbies and all of the sweet treats just like every other kid. But obviously it wasn't  not good for her, as I could hear her mom saying that she already owned a lot of soft toys and chocolates that would lead to cavities.

Explain what you did when you heard the noise?
I approached that little girl and tried convincing her with a very soft voice. Lastly she agreed to buy only one toy if I would play with her in the supermarket and give her a ride in the cart.

Conclusion
I guess lurking kids to some other interesting things first always works and then to make them realise what wrong they did. And that was how I passed my time and also saved money and time of her mother. 

IELTS speaking part 3 - Describe a place where there was a lot of noise

You can review the follow-up questions for “Describe a place where there was a lot of noise.” This discussion round will take about 4-5 minutes and you have to elaborate on your answers to the examiner.

1. What issues might arise if a large group of you goes out together?
   Because there are too many people present, making it difficult to manage, and everyone is preoccupied with their own work and celebrations, communication and coordination with others are the biggest challenges we face when we go out in a group. As a result, it can be challenging to get along, celebrate, and do things together when there are more people present.
   
   
2. Should we entice kids to make noise?
   Children should constantly be taught social etiquette and politeness because we shouldn't encourage them to make noises that actually ruin them and make them appear awful in front of people.
   
   
3. Why do people enjoy going to noisy venues like restaurants and bars when they are aware of how noisy they are?
   People like to visit pubs when they are feeling lonely or stressed because they also want to celebrate and forget about their problems, so they don't mind the noise in some situations. When people are feeling frustrated or stressed, they want to be in a group that is celebrating life and eating food and dancing because these kinds of visuals really make a person happy in a difficult or sad moment.
   
   
4. What significance does belonging to a certain group have?
   People always prefer to be in a religious or a professional group where there are people of similar interest because this really helps them in their lives. The importance of belonging to a certain group is to feel secure and safe because there are many members who will support and help you in different fronts of life when you are in a group.
   
   
5. Do you believe it is essential to occasionally be by yourself?
   Absolutely, being alone is beneficial. Sometimes it provides mental tranquillity, allowing one to focus on work and engage in creative activities. A person occasionally needs to be alone in order to unwind.
   
   
6. Where does the noise come from in cities?
   Industrial regions, traffic congestion, revelries, and the celebration of many events and holidays all contribute to the noise in urban areas. People make noise when they congregate in big numbers.
   
   
7. How noisy is it in your city?
   I live in a tiny town where there aren't many traffic jams and there isn't much industry, but in large cities, noise levels are high owing to population, industry, and a variety of other factors. Noise is also more likely to occur in areas with dense populations.
   
   
8. Do you believe that in the future, cities will become noisier?
   The use of electric vehicles and industry regulation will make the city more silent and calm, making it a better place to live in the future. I don't believe that cities will become noisier in the future because people are now aware of noise pollution and they also don't feel good in a noisy environment.
   
   
9. Do you believe that people's lives today are more noisy than they were in the past?
   Without a certainty, there is a lot more noise now than there used to be because of technology and the accelerated speed of life, whereas in the past, people would have celebrated their joy in a more subdued manner through conventional means.
   
   
10. Where may a loud sound be heard?
    In many situations, like traffic jams and older parts of cities where there is an excessive amount of traffic and human activity, we can hear noise that is permitted. They are quite disruptive and emit cacophonous sounds. Weddings and festivals can occasionally make noise as well.
    
    
11. Do you enjoy going to noisy places?
    I personally don't like to visit noisy places since I don't find them to be very reassuring, but due to certain circumstances I sometimes have to go to industrial areas and old towns where I have to cope with noise, and this truly makes me feel uneasy.
    
    
12. Do you enjoy living in a busy neighbourhood?
    No, I don't want to live in a noisy area since it makes me feel uneasy and makes it difficult for me to focus on my work, even though I'm in a busy area. Instead, I prefer to live somewhere quiet with less noise.
    
    
13. Is India's noise pollution a big issue?
    Without a doubt, noise pollution is caused by unplanned celebrations of holidays and by the fact that India is a very populous country with a lot of traffic congestion and industrial activity all around.
    
    
14. Where can one find a calm environment?
    A garden, a plant nursery or even in the early morning one can find a very peaceful environment.
    
    
15. Would you distract yourself in a calm or a noisy surrounding when you felt low?
    On the days when I feel low, I like to stay calm and so I would look for a peaceful environment where I can sit and think clearly.
