What event did the speakers describe and why did they choose to go?
Hello, hello dear listen, and welcome into Super IELTS Part 2. Describe an event you attended in which you didn't enjoy the music played. You should say what it was, who you went with, why you decided to go there, and explain why you didn't enjoy it. So, an event you attended. This means that an event you visited, you went somewhere and you didn't like the music there. Right. Rory Hello Hello Musical Rory give us a story.
Um Um
I suppose the one that immediately comes to mind is the last time I had lunch with my friends or the place or um I had lunch with my friends. Uh speaking about what it was, um it wasn't anything special. We just decided to have a uh small get together at this new venue up the road from where we live. Apparently it's been open for a while, but we well I'd never been before. So we decided. I decided to try it out. Uh it's like a big open plan eating and drinking space inside this brewery with live music. If we consider who I went with, like I said, it was just some friends who live locally. We've been getting together at each other's houses for years now, um, but for whatever reason we had decided on a change of scene.
Um so when I think about why I decided to go. There, it's actually quite vague. I'm pretty sure it was just um for a bit of variety. And it definitely seemed like a good idea at the time, although it turned out later not to be such a good idea. Because as for why I didn't enjoy it, um or at least as far as why I didn't enjoy it is concerned, it wasn't the music itself that was the problem. It was the volume they played. It at it was way too loud, and you could barely hear yourself even think, let alone understand what the person next to you was saying. And that seemed totally unnecessary, and I wish they'd just turned it down. In fact, I'm pretty sure that some of us asked at some point, but that was to no avail.
Unfortunately, we'd already paid for lunch, so we just had to put up with it. If we ever decide to Do something like that again, I think we'll probably end up going somewhere very different, or maybe just back to our usual haunts where the music is a lot less intrusive and it's a there's a bit more peace and quiet.
Who were they with and what was the venue like?
I know that's my preference for sure.
Mm-hmm.

Right, tell us now. So somewhere you went and you didn't enjoy the music. It might be you went like you went to a cafe, a restaurant, you went to a library and the music was playing. You went to a party, you didn't like the music. It might be a concert, okay, a theatre. Like I don't know. You went somewhere. Like you can talk about a cafe for example.
Yeah. Anywhere they play music. I think they play music everywhere. It could even be the supermarket. Like they play music at the supermarket.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, to get you to buy more stuff. So you can start off with um the one that immediately comes to mind is So instead of the one that stands out, the one that comes to mind. Kind of the one is like um the situation, right? An event. Like the the event that I wanna talk about. Or like um what comes to mind is the last time I had. Lunch with my friends, or I went to a cafe, or I went to the theater. Speaking about what it was, it wasn't anything special, it was a small get together. So we got together with my friends, like I met my friends at the new place. At this new venue.
Why did they decide to try this new place for a change of scene?
Venue is like a place, it could be a cafe, a restaurant, a concert hall. A mall, so kind of like a place, venue. So we went to this venue, venue. I'd never been there before. Pass perfect, dear listener. So I went there with my friends and I had never been there before. I had never been. We went there to try it out. A phrase of verb. To try it out just to see what it's like. So it's a venue with live music. and uh food and it's like it's it's out is it outside, Rory?
Uh part of it was outside.
