Describe a journey to a place that you would like to take. v.1

Describe a journey to a place that you would like to take. v. 1
Describe a journey to a place that you would like to take. You should say: where the place is what type of transport you would choose what the purpose of your journey is and give details of your plan of the journey. Model Answer: Whenever the time allows I would like to visit my grandparent’s house which is at (… say the place name…). After I left my hometown with my parents, I have not visited my grandparent’s house for the last 4-5 years. The busy life and tight exam have kelp me away for this much-desired journey to take. I would take a taxi to reach the rail station from my house. The train journey will last for about 6 hours and after that, I would require taking a public bus to reach the station of my grandparent’s area. From there I would need to walk for about half an hour and then cross the river in a boat. Then I would finally need to pick a rickshaw to reach my grandparent’s house. I would like to meet my grandpa at his home. Though he has visited our house at town few times during this period, I still want to meet him, my uncles and cousins there. I miss my hometown and being there is a great joy for me. I passed my childhood at that place and want to go there as much as possible. I have planned to go there during the summer vacation I will get from the university. I have planned to save some money and take some money from my parents for this journey. I will take one of my best friends with me and would show him the village where I was born. We will do lots of fun stuff there and would stay at around a week. We have planned to collect the train ticket online and for the taxi, we will book it in advance. I am really looking forward to enjoying this journey and my stay at my grandparent’s house. Part 3 – Two-way discussion: Reasons for daily travel: Q.   Why do people need to travel every day? Q.   What problems can people have when they are on their journey, for example to work or school? Why is this? Q.   Some people say that daily journeys like these will not be so common in the future. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Benefits of international travel: Q.   What do you think people can learn from travelling to other countries? Why? Q.   Can travel make a positive difference to the economy of a country? How? Q.   Do you think a society can benefit if its members have experience of travelling to other countries? In what ways?   Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card would enable you to talk about the following Cue Cards as well: Describe a journey you had recently.
