Model Answer:

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 “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.
