: Sample Answer

I went to St. Petersburg from Moscow by driving my own car. And it was a great experience for me. In fact, we went there to attend the marriage ceremony of one of my cousins. Actually, he invited me, with my family, but the family members were reluctant to attend the ceremony for the travel and distance. So, I made the journey and took three of my friends with me for attending the ceremony and drove my car to St. Petersburg. It was an enjoyable event for us. I would like to thank you for this nice cue card topic

It took around 10 hours for me to reach St. Petersburg from my residence in Moscow. Actually, I could have reached in less than 10 hours but I maintained the speed limit. I never crossed the limit of 80. Besides, it took a long time to reach there as we stopped in some places. We took breaks for food and some other purposes. But the distance is reduced on air and train journeys

Artor, Boris, and Valery accompanied me on the journey. All of them are my childhood friends and we have been brought up together. We live in the same area but we took education from separate institutions. Besides, our families also are in good terms with some issues and our family members also share a good relationship with each other. Thereby, I decided that if I take them with me, it will not be a problem at all

I took the decision to make the journey by car for some reason. The most important thing was the distance and time. My family members wanted to go there but failed somehow. Besides, it was the chance for me to reshape my driving skill. So, I made the journey by car
