Model Answer by Band 7,5 IELTS Test Taker 

Speaking of a place where I study, the first place that comes to mind is a classroom to study my coursework. It is not a primary school or high school classroom, but a classroom at my university. The layout of the classroom is very simple, just some desks, chairs, and some windows through which I can see the outside. There are a lot of lecture halls and seminal rooms in my university. However, the place that I go most often is the small classrooms in Teaching Building. These classrooms are usually empty and are open from early in the morning to late at night, so they are a perfect place to study.

I sometimes go there with my friends, but more frequently I go there by myself. Sometimes you can see a couple of other students sitting in the classroom, each in a separate seat, busy reading books or writing on their laptops. It is agreed that nobody talks in the classrooms, so it is very quiet. My favorite seats are the ones by the window. Whenever I get tired from my coursework, I will lift up my head and just look aimlessly outside. Sometimes I can see a bird fly by or resting on the roof. There are a few canteens and a fast food restaurant near Teaching Building Three, so when I feel hungry I will leave my stuff on the table and walk to the canteen for a quick meal. After lunch I sometimes take a nap in my seat, like everybody else does. After a whole day of studying in the classroom, I often feel fulfilled and proud of myself on my way back to my room.
