Describe a famous tourist destination in your country. You should say: what it is what are the main attractions of this place what can someone see/do there And say why you would recommend this place to a foreign tourist. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Model Answer 1: If an international tourist has a one day visit to Indonesia, I would recommend him to see the island of Bali. There are various reasons why s/he should visit the island, and I will explain in details about it. Firstly, Bali is a small island, but it has many beautiful scenery places that people could visit in a day. The island is famous for its' beautiful beaches such as Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua Beach. These beaches are known for their beautiful white sands along their coast and for their waves as well, as tens of thousands of tourists from overseas are visiting the island annually. The location of these beaches is near therefore tourists could visit these beaches in just half a day. Secondly, as these beaches are located near to Denpasar, which is the capital city of Bali, there are many things that tourist could do in the city itself. After lying down on the beach, people could see some unique entertainments in the city, such as the traditional Barong and Kecak Dance. These traditional dances are unique and artistic because they are the combination of art, magic, philosophy and religion. And then, there are so many traditional restaurants in Bali, where tourists could try these culinary places. Bali is well known for its' pork ribs and fried chicken, and many tourists have enjoyed these culinary experiences because they are crispy and spicy. I personally believe that if an international traveller has only a day to see Indonesia, I would suggest him to visit Bali, as it has a combination of beautiful landscape, artistic traditional performance and recommended restaurants which people could visit in a day.

The places are highly interesting and probably the most desired places in entire Europe. Elafonissi beach is one of the places and I am happy to describe the beach here. Greece has many places to go to and enjoy for the visitors. Crete, the largest island in Greece, has many things to offer to its visitors and the Elafonissi beach is one of them. This is a kind of hidden treasure for the visitors. They will be unable to discover the beauty of the beach unless they visit it. The beach is an interesting place to visit and pass leisure hours. But to enjoy the real beauty of the beach, one should stay for a few days in the area. The beach area is frequently crowded with various types of people and most of them come here to enjoy the natural views of the beach.   This is a sandy beach and got a higher rank in the top 10 list of the world. In fact, this is a beach that nobody wants to miss while they are on their trip to Greece. They key attraction of the beach is the sunset and sunrise scenes. A wide number of the people flock to the beach during the sunset and sun rising hours to enjoy the scenes. The beach is well organised and the surrounding environment is also charming. The pink sandy beach offers a great view to the horizon. The water is crystal clear and thus suitable for almost all types of activities on the water. People swim, participate in water sports, ride on water vehicles and more other activities. Besides, there are some small shops and stores are available that will help you get the necessary refreshment including bar service. the town is lively and the crowd of people is enjoyable. The majority of the visitors come here to enjoy the beautiful sunset scenes. The sun ray looks beautiful when it is about to set. The entire water turns in to a golden colour while the western sky becomes reddish. The view is excellent and a good number of the visitors only come here to enjoy the last moment of the day. By the same time, the small shops and bars allow the visitors to take light snacks and enjoy the sunset scenes with their near and dear ones. But the view is different in the morning or at the sunrise hour. There are fewer people at that moment for being the early hour of the day. But there are some people who come out to enjoy the morning beauty. Water sports is a common issue here and many of the visitors participate in the sports and enjoy themselves. This beach is wonderful. Without seeing the beauties in own eyes, anyone will not believe that how stunning the natural beauty of the locality is. Most of the time, foreign tourists suffer numerous troubles when they are in a new place. But I can assure that their experience will be different in this place. This is a safe and secured place. In fact, this is a small paradise to the visitors. The water is clear, warm and thus enjoyable to the fullest extent. The gentle breeze will make them feel comfortable. Moreover, the prices of everything here is reasonable. Hence, I will recommend it to every foreign tourist to visit the beach at least for once in their lifetime. They will be in love with this place.   Part 3 – Two-way discussion: Q. What are some famous tourist spots in your country?

Model Answer 1:

If an international
tourist
has a
one day
visit
to Indonesia, I would recommend him to
see
the
island
of Bali. There are various reasons why s/he should
visit
the
island
, and I will
explain
in
details
about it.

Firstly
, Bali is a
small
island
,
but
it has
many
beautiful
scenery
places
that
people
could
visit
in a day. The
island
is
famous
for
its'
beautiful
beaches
such as
Kuta
,
Sanur
and
Nusa
Dua
Beach
. These
beaches
are known
for their
beautiful
white sands along their coast and for their waves as
well
, as tens of thousands of
tourists
from overseas are visiting the
island
annually
. The location of these
beaches
is near
therefore
tourists
could
visit
these
beaches
in
just
half a day.

Secondly
, as these
beaches
are located
near to Denpasar, which is the capital city of Bali, there are
many
things that
tourist
could do in the city itself. After lying down on the
beach
,
people
could
see
some
unique entertainments in the city, such as the
traditional
Barong
and
Kecak
Dance. These
traditional
dances are unique and artistic
because
they are the combination of art, magic, philosophy and religion. And then, there are
so
many
traditional
restaurants in Bali, where
tourists
could try these culinary
places
. Bali is
well
known for
its'
pork ribs and fried chicken, and
many
tourists
have enjoyed these culinary experiences
because
they are crispy and spicy.

I
personally
believe that if an international
traveller
has
only
a day to
see
Indonesia, I would suggest him to
visit
Bali, as it has a combination of
beautiful
landscape, artistic
traditional
performance and recommended restaurants which
people
could
visit
in a day.

The
entire
