Task Card:
Describe a memorable trip you have had.
You should say:
Where you went
What you did there
Who you went with
And explain why this trip was memorable.
Example Answer:
One of the most memorable trips I’ve had was when I visited Kyoto in Japan last spring. I went there with my best friend, and it was our first time visiting the city together. Kyoto is known for its beautiful temples, traditional gardens, and historic sites. We spent a few days exploring the famous Kinkaku-ji temple, took a boat ride on the Hozu River, and even tried some traditional Japanese tea ceremonies.
This trip was particularly memorable because it was a chance to experience Japanese culture up close. The atmosphere in Kyoto was so peaceful, especially in the gardens and temples, and I felt like I was transported back in time. We also had some delicious local food like matcha-flavored sweets and sushi.
I’ll never forget the memories we made during that trip. It was a great bonding experience with my friend, and it allowed us to see a side of Japan that’s different from the usual modern cities like Tokyo. I’d love to visit Kyoto again someday.

Topic: Travel and Tourism
Why do you think people like to travel?
I think people like to travel for various reasons. For some, it’s about relaxation and taking a break from their busy lives. Others travel to explore new cultures, experience different foods, or see natural wonders. Travel can also be a way to connect with friends and family, especially during holidays or special events.
What benefits can people get from traveling?
Traveling offers many benefits. First, it helps broaden your perspective by exposing you to different cultures and lifestyles. It can also be a great way to learn new things and build lasting memories. Additionally, travel can be a form of relaxation, allowing people to recharge and de-stress from work or school. Overall, it can be a very enriching experience.
Do you think tourism has a positive or negative effect on a country?
Tourism can have both positive and negative effects on a country. On the positive side, it boosts the economy by creating jobs and generating income for local businesses. Tourism also promotes cultural exchange and increases global awareness. However, if not managed well, tourism can have negative impacts, such as environmental damage, overcrowding, and the loss of cultural authenticity. It’s important for governments and businesses to find a balance to ensure tourism benefits everyone.

In my country, tourists often visit historical sites, beautiful natural landmarks, and cultural cities. For example, there are famous landmarks like ancient temples, monuments, and museums. Many tourists also visit scenic areas like national parks or beaches for hiking, sightseeing, and relaxation. Major cities like the capital are popular for their vibrant city life, restaurants, and shopping centers. The diversity of places to visit makes my country a great destination for different types of travelers.
