BAND 8 MODEL ANSWER
I’m going to describe an outdoor market that I love to pay a visit on a regular basis. It’s called The Box Market slap-bang in the heart of the most populated city in my country .
This market offers a wide range of wares such as books, food and miscellaneous items. But the thing I like most is the clothes which have diverse styles with cheap price.
In terms of its size, it’s quite big with hundreds of stalls. Therefore, this place is often jam-packed with thousands of people on the weekends.
There are two primary reasons why I am fanatical about doing some shopping there. First, it provides a great atmosphere for people from all walks of life. Second, the products are of good quality at a bargain.
So, this place is my all-time favorite destination to unwind every weekend evening.
