Question 16 of 18intermediate✨ CreateEssay5 marks

Write a paragraph about a place that you have visited which has stayed in your memory. Remember to mention the following: Why did you go there? Who did you travel with? How did you prepare for the travel? Where did you stay? What activities did you do there?

Correct Answer

I have always been fascinated by the way the people of my village/town/city live, but a place that has truly stayed in my memory is the Thar Desert. I went there because the dry expanse promises to appeal to the spirit of exploration. When it comes to the scenery, it truly shines, and the sight of such beauty is very inviting and has to be captured.

I travelled with a group, as group visits make even the difficult areas seem easy. To prepare for the travel, I focused on the fact that the risk and thrill in such an area is what is most appealing, so I prepared myself for the difficult areas.

We stayed near the Rann of Kutch, another remarkable desert region. The quietness of the environment here leads to a peaceful experience, which was a contrast to the thrill of the day.

Our activities mostly involved exploring the region. I feel a deep sense of pride when I think about my motherland, Bharat, and its major geographical features. Many a sage has sanctified this land, and here all auspicious things are found. If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be peerless!
