Describe your favourite park in your city. v.1

Describe your favourite park in your city. v. 1
Describe your favourite park in your city. You should say: where it is how can you go there how frequently you go there and explain why this is your favourite park. [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: I love living in Melbourne for some obvious reasons. In fact, Melbourne has been voted as the most livable city in the world a number of times. There are just so many things to do and so many places to visit in Melbourne that it would take someone at least a month to talk about them. But, today I would just like to talk about one of my favourite parks. The name of the park is Alexandra Gardens, and it is conveniently located on the south bank of the Yarra River, and on the opposite side of Federation Square and the Melbourne Central Business District in Victoria. One of the most distinctive features of this park is that it connects two other beautiful parks named the Domain parklands and the beautifully-landscaped Royal Botanic Gardens. This garden park also has many palm trees, beautiful ornamental shrubs (spreading fragrance and clean air to its visitors) and star-shaped garden which is designed to represent the great federation of Australia. First laid out in 1904, the park also has some popular river-front barbecue spots and other venues to facilitate different kinds of parties and celebration. I visit this beautiful park at least once in a week if not more frequently. By the way, people can visit this place either in private cars or by using public transportation through the tram routes of 16, 1, 64, 5, 6, 67, and 72. It is my favourite park mainly because this is rather close to the area in which I live. In fact, it takes only about 15 minutes to walk to the park. And, that 15 minutes walk feels really good for my health. I like this park also because it is situated by a river, unlike many other parks, and it allows me to enjoy the nature in its “entirety” away from the “hustling-bustling” of the city life. Finally, this is my favourite park also because visiting there allows me to meet and interact with many interesting people from all walks of life without going to some clubs or parties.   Sample Answer 2: Cuyahoga Valley National Park is located near my house and this is my favourite park in the city. I live in the Ohio state in the USA and this is the National Park we boast about. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is located in Summit County and Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA and it has remarkable natural beauty, unusual ecosystem, unique geographic features and natural appeal. This park is approximately 28 kilometres away from my living place. Most of the time, I went there in my private car but public transportation and tourist buses are also available to reach the location. I have always lived in the Ohio state. I love to explore places that are new to me. Natural beauties attract me more than other charms. So far I have gone to the Cuyahoga National Park 7 to 8 times. I have also been to the American Samoa, Arches, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Everglades and Glacier Bay which are also famous National Parks in the USA. There is no certain frequency of my visit to this Cuyahoga park. In fact, this is not a kind of park that is located near the community where people often visit in the evening and morning. I need planning, free time and preparation tp visit and enjoy the Cuyahoga park. In my opinion, Cuyahoga is great beauty and a must-visit place for whoever lives or come visit the Ohio state. It has around 32, 950 acres area and it was established in October 2000. More than 2 million visitors enjoy this panoramic park each year and it is governed by the National Park Service, USA. A great variety of animals lives in this park, many visitors ride bicycles or do hiking there. I specifically remember my last visit there in 2014 when I did hiking in this park. The spectacular views of the rolling hills, winding rivers, waterfalls and caves are mind-blowing. I have always enjoyed being in this park and have a lot of sweet memories there. As a resident of the Ohio state, I am very proud of this park and the outstanding beauty and recreational activities of this park make it my favourite one.
