Model Answer:
I have so many ideas of a perfect holiday destination in my head that it would be practically impossible to choose one and then describe it. However, I would still go ahead and try my best to make sense of my version of a perfect holiday destination.
First, my perfect holiday destination would be ideally located on an island, far away from civilization, surrounded by a cool and calm ocean. Of course, when I say that my perfect holiday destination would be far away from civilization, I don’t necessarily mean to suggest that it would be very far from the airport.
The island would be covered by many different kinds of fruit trees, along with other kinds of beautiful forests and landscapes, so that I can always enjoy the taste of some fresh fruits when feeling hungry. The weather should neither be too hot nor too cold for my perfect holiday destination. Having some beautiful looking sandy beaches, my perfect holiday destination shouldn’t have any tall buildings or tall hotels, covering the sky, so that I can actually see the beautiful sky and the moon at night.
Also, I wouldn’t like my perfect holiday destination to be too quiet or too crowded and busy because that would actually take the whole fun away of mingling and socializing with people from different countries and culture. Having a few hills and mountains by the sides of the sea beaches wouldn’t exactly hurt my version of a perfect holiday destination either. Finally, the simple and not-too-tall hotels in my ideal holiday destination should be close to the sandy beaches so that I can capture a perfect overview of the ocean by sitting in their balconies.
So, it would be my perfect holiday destination, mainly because it would help me forget about the worries and negativities of my daily life. Besides, it would also allow me to learn, understand and appreciate people from other countries, cultures and backgrounds in a way which is not possible otherwise. Finally, it would also refresh my mind and body by keeping me close to the beautiful nature.
