Describe your idea of a perfect holiday destination. v. 1
Describe your idea of a perfect holiday destination. You should say: where it would be what type of place it would be how it will look like and explain why you think it would be a perfect holiday destination. [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. ]   Model Answer: I have so many ideas of a perfect holiday destination in my head that it would be practically impossible to choose one and then describe it. However, I would still go ahead and try my best to make sense of my version of a perfect holiday destination. First, my perfect holiday destination would be ideally located on an island, far away from civilization, surrounded by a cool and calm ocean. Of course, when I say that my perfect holiday destination would be far away from civilization, I don’t necessarily mean to suggest that it would very far from the airport. The island would be covered by many different kinds of fruit trees, along with other kinds beautiful forests and landscapes, so that I can always enjoy the taste of some fresh fruits when feeling hungry. The weather should neither be too hot or too cold of my perfect holiday destination. Having some beautiful looking sandy beaches, my perfect holiday destination shouldn’t have any tall buildings or hotels, covering the sky, so that I can actually see the beautiful sky and the moon at night.   I wouldn’t like my perfect holiday destination to be too quiet nor too crowded and busy because that would actually take the whole fun away of mingling and socializing with people from different countries and culture. Having a few hills and mountains by the sides of the sea beaches wouldn’t exactly hurt my version of a perfect holiday destination either. Finally, the hotels in my ideal holiday destination should be close to the sandy beaches so that I can capture a perfect overview of the ocean by sitting in their balconies. Anyway, it would be my perfect holiday destination, mainly because it would help me forget about the worries and negativities of my daily life. Besides, it would also allow me to learn, understand and appreciate people from other countries, cultures and backgrounds in a way which is not possible otherwise. Finally, it would also refresh my mind and body by keeping me close to the beautiful nature.

Model Answer:

I have
so
many
ideas
of a
perfect
holiday
destination
in my head that it would be
practically
impossible to choose one and then
describe
it.
However
, I would
still
go ahead and try my best to
make
sense of my version of a
perfect
holiday
destination.

First
, my
perfect
holiday
destination
would be
ideally
located on an island, far away from civilization, surrounded by a cool and calm ocean.
Of course
, when I say that my
perfect
holiday
destination
would be far away from civilization, I don’t
necessarily
mean to suggest that it would
very
far from the airport.

The island would
be covered
by
many
different
kinds of fruit trees, along with other kinds
beautiful
forests and landscapes,
so
that I can always enjoy the taste of
some
fresh fruits when feeling hungry. The weather should neither be too hot or too
cold
of my
perfect
holiday
destination
. Having
some
beautiful
looking sandy beaches, my
perfect
holiday
destination
shouldn’t have any tall buildings or hotels, covering the sky,
so
that I can
actually
see
the
beautiful
sky and the moon at night.
 
I wouldn’t like my
perfect
holiday
destination
to be too quiet nor too crowded and busy
because
that would
actually
take the whole fun away of mingling and socializing with
people
from
different
countries and culture. Having a few hills and mountains by the sides of the sea beaches wouldn’t exactly hurt my version of a
perfect
holiday
destination
either.
Finally
, the hotels in my ideal
holiday
destination
should be close to the sandy beaches
so
that I can capture a
perfect
overview of the ocean by sitting in their balconies.

Anyway
, it would be my
perfect
holiday
destination
,
mainly
because
it would
help
me forget about the worries and negativities of my daily life.
Besides
, it would
also
allow
me to learn, understand and appreciate
people
from other countries, cultures and backgrounds in a way which is not possible
otherwise
.
Finally
, it would
also
refresh my mind and body by keeping me close to the
beautiful
nature.
