Model Answer 1

Introducing a time you visited new place

Family vacations are the best times of any year. Whenever my holidays start, I start wondering which new place is going to be my destination this vacation. But today, I’d love to talk about an interesting place that I’ve visited recently.

Where the new place is?

We plan a family vacation every year. This year, we planned to visit Shimla – the capital of Himachal Pradesh.

When you went there?

We went to Shimla to celebrate new year eve on 31^st Dec. We were all excited as we were going to explore a new city.

Why you went there?

Ever since I learnt about Shimla from my friends I wanted to visit the place. So we planned a long trip and had set a schedule so that we do not miss any fun in Shimla. Most importantly, we wanted to experience ice-skating which is prominently open from December to February.

Explain how you feel about the place?

The place has its own charm. Firstly, we enjoyed a fun-filled toy train ride between Kalka and Shimla. Then we head on to the ultimate fun place called Kufri which is about 16 km from Shimla. This place has beautiful natural sceneries and we also enjoyed Yak riding. After that, we played ice skating and celebrated the new year late at night.

Concluding the cue card

In the end, I would just tell you that Shimla stands true to its tag of “queen of hills”. The place was captivating as the stars, the nightlife, the bonfire, and the far-stretched hills were calling me to revisit the place.

1. What measures should be taken to deal with damage on public facilities?
2. What are the differences between old facilities and new facilities?
3. What facilities do young people and old people like in your country?
4. What is the difference between facilities in the countryside and the ones in the cities?

1. What measures should be taken to deal with damage on public facilities?

The measures that should be taken to deal with vandalism are: reporting to the authorities as soon as you see someone damaging public facilities, putting sign-boards, imposing stricter punishments on those vandalising public infrastructure. For example, the Japanese government has a fine of up to $500 for littering or urinating in public.

2. What are the differences between old facilities and new facilities?

Older facilities have been designed and built to be water permeable, newer facilities on the other hand are being built watertight using modern materials designed to keep moisture entirely out. As a result, old buildings are treated and repaired differently from newer buildings.

3. What facilities do young people and old people like in your country?

Youngsters like the booming economy in my country which offers plenty of success opportunities. They like facilities such as malls, cinemas, fast internet access etc. Old people, on the other hand, are connected to traditions so they like the facilities such as art, museums, regional festivals etc.

4. What is the difference between facilities in the countryside and the ones in the cities?

The major difference between city life and life in the countryside is the lack of basic facilities. In the countryside, there is a lack of medical facilities as there is only one dispensary. In the cities, there are many hospitals that provide ambulance services across the city. Moreover, there is no proper road and transportation system in villages, while there is a developed road and bridge network in the cities.
