Model Answer 1:
No doubt, Bangladesh, my homeland, is a very beautiful country as it has so many beautiful places to visit. Of course, I have already travelled to some of those beautiful places before. But today, I would like to talk about a place where I would like to travel to in the near future.
The name of this place is “Sylhet”. Located on the picturesque “Surma” River (one of the major rivers of Bangladesh) valley, this hilly city is situated in the eastern part of Bangladesh and is also one of the best holiday destinations of my country. Laid between towering hills, called the “Khasia” and “Jainta” to the north and the Tripura hills to the south, Sylhet city breaks the monotony of the flat Gangetic plains (related to the area, drained by the Indus and Ganges rivers, especially the lowland plain south of the Himalayas) and is often termed as the Queen of Hills.
Besides, while its terraced tea gardens, rolling landscapes, exotic flora and fauna set the breathtaking views, its thick tropical rain forest also adds just the perfect backdrop to the Sylhet landscape. A large number of rivers, natural lakes and water bodies are also there in order to provide a sanctuary to millions of migratory birds. In fact, many people from all over the world travel to this place every year because of its stunning natural beauty. Anyway, I am also planning to travel to this place, sometime next year, but depending on the time of the year, I would either take a train or fly in order to go there.
Anyway, I like to visit this place, primarily because of stunning natural beauty, including its gushing waterfalls, mountains and greenery. I also want to see the beautiful tea garden because it is one of our major exporting products, which helps us earn a very substantial amount of foreign currency. Finally, I want to travel to this place, because it has one of the best weather systems in my country, and I also want to be able to enjoy it for some times.
Sample Answer 2:
I had a very close friend in my school level who is currently working as a doctor at (...say a place name...) and I would like to travel to his living place. I have a plan to visit (...say the place name...) whenever I will get holidays for 4-5 days. The friend has invited me to visit his place and in the meantime, he has visited my place twice. So my turn to visit his place has become mandatory. As he is living in a rural area where hills, tea gardens are available, I am sure I will enjoy my visit there.
There are three options to visit the place- bus, train and aeroplane. For me, the aeroplane would be a bit expensive and I like travelling by train, so I will take the train to visit there. I have a few reasons to visit this particular place. First of all, this area is famous for its natural beauty and a good number of local and foreign tourists visit this place each year. I would be able to enjoy my stay and live close to nature during my stay there and that would be refreshing for me.
Second, I would enjoy my friends accompany there and as he has already visited my place twice, I feel kind of obliged to visit his living place. Another reason I would like to travel there is to stay away from the busy life and busy city for dew days.
Sample Answer 3:
I have a great desire to visit the Vatican City and that’s a wish I would like to fulfil. Vatican City is a comparatively small area and I want to visit all the major places of this country. Since I live in (…say your country name…) and would require a visa to enter the Vatican City, the aeroplane would be the most convenient transportation for me. From the airport, I would need to hire a taxi and I wish to travel the Vatican City either in a rented car or on foot. I do not have any particular plan to take a friend or a family member but a good companion would not b a bad idea. Someone who has an interest in History (especially on Vatican City) would be a good company for the journey I guess. Right now I can think of (…say a friend’s name…) as my travel companion in this journey.
I have a great interest in the mysteries and history of Vatican City. The places, the artworks, the buildings, the archives and many other interesting historical events of this city make it a great attraction to millions of tourists of the world. I want to take the first-hand experiences of the historic events I heard, read and learned about this city. The places and monuments of this city were described in lots of book I have read and the movies I have watched. I would like to go there to witness the greatest works of famous painters, architects and leaders. My interest in history, art and mystery are the main reasons for my interest to make this travel to Vatican City.
