Describe a foreign country you have never been to. v.1

Describe a foreign country you have never been to. v. 1
Describe a foreign country you have never been to. You should say: where the country is when you plan to visit this country why you would like to go there and explain why this is a good country to visit. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Follow-up Questions: • Say something about tourism development in your country, facility, services and the effect on the environment. • What is the importance of the travel and tourism industry? • What do you think about the function of tourist guides?   Model Answer 1: Describing a unique country, without ever visiting it, is always going to be a difficult proposition for a person who has very little or no imagination power. But, fortunately, since I have learnt a lot about it by watching TV and reading many travel journals/ magazines, I think that I should be able to do it just fine. So, please bear with me. Thank you. I am talking about Greece here - a beautiful southern European and peninsular country, situated by the Mediterranean Sea, and located between Turkey and Albania – which I have always wanted to visit since the very first day I started to learn about. With its long and beautiful coastline along with the Mediterranean Ocean, this country attracted more than 30 million tourists in the year 2018. So, why have I always wanted to visit this country? Well, to start with, this country has a perfect climate condition with perfect temperatures and sunshine every season throughout the entire year. I would also like to visit this country because it has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, with its green and luscious valleys, turquoise seas, incredible islands (in fact, 3000 of them) and unique mountain ranges, which surely would take our breath away. Besides, I also want to see the beautiful Acropolis, which is thought to have been built for the “goddess Athena” in Athens and its stunning museum. Greece is a good country to visit mainly because it has some of the most unique and oldest civilizations in the world. Besides, it is very easy for people to fall in love with Greece because of its simple beauties where one is able to enjoy his or her life without any complication. Greece also has some of the lowest crime rates in the world which makes this country one of the safest to visit. Finally, a very warm and high level of hospitality of the Greek people, along with the unique, healthy and delicious food at an affordable price, makes Greece one of the best holiday destinations in the world, and I am planning to visit this great country some times in the year of 2021!
