You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Model Answer 1: Well, when we visit a city or some popular destinations in the world as international travellers, we usually try to visit some of their famous and interesting landmarks, museums or some other sites of great natural beauty. However, I had no idea that visiting a street could also be just as interesting as visiting those tourist attractions on any day. The street, I am talking about, is called the “Oxford Street”, which is located right in the heart of the city of London. It runs all of the way from Tottenham Court Road to Marble Arch via Oxford Circus. People say that it is Europe's busiest shopping street, with around half a million daily visitors, which had approximately 300 shops, as of the year of 2012.   People head to this famous street because it allows them to do some affordable shopping in stores, like "H & M, " "The Disney Store" and "Uniqlo". However, if you are looking for more up-market high-street stores, you will also have your options in luxury brands like All Saints, Massimo Dutti and Aldo store, among others. Oxford Street also has a varied selection of shoe shops including Clarkes, Office and Nike town. Offering 1. 5 miles of unrivalled shopping, from fashion and beauty to tech and homeware, Oxford Street is not only the ultimate shopping paradise but also a paradise for food lovers because they can eat at any of its 500 restaurants without actually walking more than five minutes.   Of course, I didn’t have the time to visit all of those restaurants and enjoy their food, but at least, I visited one of them after buying a very unique boutique item. Anyway, I enjoyed visiting this world-famous street, not only because it offered so many choices in shopping, but also because I could meet and see so many different kinds of people, with different cultures, language, and backgrounds, from around the whole world. Finally, I enjoyed visiting this street also because I felt like the sun never set in this street as it was illuminated with all kinds of bright lights.   Sample Answer 2: My recent business trip to California was a huge success, and I had some spare hours to kill in the city. So, I went to see some of the notable locations in the city and the 'Hollywood Boulevard' - a large street, was an exceptional one in my list. It was one of the most impressive streets I have ever been to. The street had beautiful buildings on both sides. Gorgeously decorated stores that sell all sorts of products were another appeal of it. The livelihood of the street and its beauty took my heart away. Being there was a fascinating experience for me. This is an outstanding boulevard in the city and it runs through Hollywood. It connects more than seven other streets and is big enough to walk on foot to reach the end. The street is decorated with palm trees and they look more bustling at night. I guess the colourful decoration has something to do with it. I went there for the first time when I was nine or ten years old. One of my uncles used to live there and I spent a few months in the area. This time I went to revisit the street as it was a part of some beautiful memories. My uncle no longer lives there, but still, I went there. I stood at a corner of the street and gazed at the structures standing on both sides of the street. Then I walked for a few minutes and did some window shopping. Finally, I took a cup of tea from a bistro and spent some idle time at a cafe. I went to visit this street as it was once a known place to me and I miss those days. Being there was nostalgic but I felt good. The street is a major tourist attraction and people from all around the world come here. Besides, the street view was excellent. I took some photos of the street and thought to return there again someday. More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card topic: Cue Card Topic: Describe a street that you enjoyed visiting. 1.
