Band 8.5 Model Answer:
Today, Im going to share with you an interesting public place where I really enjoy 
going to to hang out with my close friends in my spare time, which is a lovely café 
named X. 
It is situated at Y 
– a small quiet lane near my university in the centre of my 
hometown. The coffee house is decorated in an old, traditional French style, with 
a lot of paintings on the wall, and it attracts a lot of foreign customers. As a full-
time student, I have been so caught up in my studies, therefore, I just take a day 
off to go there on weekends after a long stressful week. 
There are many live music events taking place there performed 
by acoustic guitarists, so I often check them out on the internet and come with my 
friends. Because this type of music is my kind of thing, I am in my

always irresistibly delicious. That might be the reason why it was ranked among

the top 5 best coffee shops in 2015. What I really love is how cozy the atmosphere 
is, something which I have not found in any other coffee shop yet. 
Whenever things go wrong, I often go there as a hideaway to escape from all the 
pressures and order a cup of coffee to relieve my stress. It always works wonders. 
I find it extremely therapeutic and soothing
. Therefore, it’s more than likely that I 
will still keep coming back to it as my favourite place in the near future.
