: Sample Answer
Today I am going to tell you about a holiday I spent with a group of other people. I will tell you when I had it, where I went, some of what I did and how I felt about having a holiday with other people
When I knew I was coming to Vietnam, I was a little nervous. I knew the country would be very different to the UK, so I thought before I started work at the University, it would help me to settle in more easily if I took a holiday in Vietnam first. So, a few weeks ago, I booked a ten-day tour with a company that would start in Hanoi and finish in Ho Chi Minh City
There were 16 people on the trip including me, and there was a Vietnamese tour guide as well. I was the only British person in the group. The others were from Australia, America, Canada, Switzerland and Greece! The tour was really good but very fast! We often spent only one or two nights in each place. I was very lucky because we saw many beautiful places and did many interesting things. We spent time in Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An on the way to Ho Chi Minh City
We did many activities together on the tour. As well as laughing, eating and exploring together, we took trips on bicycles and on the back of motorbikes. We visited beautiful pagodas and we even went on a boat trip overnight to Halong Bay
I felt very lucky to go on this trip. It was the best holiday ever! The people I met were all really friendly and happy. None of us had visited Vietnam before, so we all enjoyed discovering this beautiful and interesting country for the first time together. I was really sad when I had to say goodbye to my new friends and travelling companions. I think it is sometimes more fun to share new adventures with other people. I hope you will all have a chance to travel and explore new places in the future
