The First Topic

Describe a foreign country you have never been to.

You should say:

where the country is?

when you will go there?

why you would like to go there?

and explain why this is a good country to visit.

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

The Second Topic

Describe a historical place that you know about.

You should say:

what the place is?

where it is located?

what is the historical? meaning of the place

and describe your experience of the place.

I love to visit popular places whenever I get free time and historic places have a special appeal to me. I have visited a few historic places including Machu Picchu in Peru, The Pyramids at Giza, Taj Mahal in India, and the Parthenon in Greece.

The historic significance and the grandeur of these places mesmerise me. The place that I would like to talk about today is Colosseum (also known as Coliseum, or as the Flavian Amphitheatre) which is situated in Rome, Italy. I would like to thank you for the time you have allowed me to talk about it.

It is basically an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, which is the largest amphitheatre in the world and is made of concrete and stone.

The construction of Colosseum began under emperor Vespasian in 70 AD and was completed under Titus in 80 AD.The Colosseum could hold approximately 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at the time when it was used as an amphitheatre.

Perhaps it is well-known for its use for the gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of many famous battles. The Colosseum was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980 and was also included among the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is 189 meters long, and 156 meters wide, with a base area of 6 acres.

The height of the outer wall is 48 meters. The Colosseum nowadays is one of the major tourist attractions in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying to view the interior arena.I have heard and seen of this famous place a lot and when I witnessed it for the first time, I became speechless.

The huge architect, the overwhelming interior and exterior decoration were beyond appreciation. The place kept reminding me of the classical mythological and historical facts I have read and heard about. Visiting this site was like travelling to the past. I would always like to get back to this place due to its prominence in history and incredible appeal
