18 分钟Hello, lovely people of the world.
Welcome back to the podcast.
I'm Maria, and my name is Rory, and we are the hosts of the Ielts speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.
Rory, have you got some creative answers for us today?
Yeah, my head is crowded with ideas.
Wow, we're gonna be speaking about crowded places today.
Rory, which places in your city are crowded?
I suppose it depends which city you mean, because in Moscow there are usually throngs of people, but obviously not at the moment because it's the quarantine and we have self isolation, but usually there are lots of us.
And in my hometown in Dundee, there isn't usually a ton of people in open spaces like parks or at the beach, even when it's sunny.
Although I suppose in some clubs it can be a real Rami.
Why are those places so crowded?
In the case of Moscow, I imagine it's because it's a major world capital with literally millions of people.
I can't remember how many people there are that live here.
It's something like 15 million.
So that's a lot that.
It doesn't matter how widespread your city is, it's still going to be quite crowded.
By contrast, Dundee is a university town.
We've got two universities, and they have a lot of students.
I imagine that's why the bars and clubs are always full of people, but probably why the libraries aren't as frequented as they are there.
At the same time, it's got a big working class population, so the local neighborhood pubs must be quite as packed.
