Describe a historical place that you have been to

You should say:

  • Where and what place this is
  • What people do at this place
  • What you enjoy there the most

And explain how you felt being there.  

Sample Answer 1

Whenever I have the time, I enjoy going to popular destinations, and historic areas uniquely appeal to me. Machu Picchu in Peru, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Parthenon in Greece are among the historical sites I’ve visited. These places fascinate me because of their historical significance and magnificence. The Colosseum, also known as Coliseum or the Flavian Amphitheater is a Roman amphitheatre located in Rome, Italy, that I would like to discuss today. I want to express my gratitude for the time you’ve given me to talk about it.

It is essentially an elliptical amphitheatre in the heart of Rome, which is the world’s largest amphitheatre and is constructed of concrete and stone. The construction of the Colosseum began in 70 AD under Emperor Vespasian and was finished in 80 AD under Titus.

When it was utilized as an amphitheatre, the Colosseum could house between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators. It is perhaps most known for its usage in gladiatorial competitions and public spectacles such as imitation sea battles, animal hunts, executions, and re-enactments of several historical conflicts. In 1980, UNESCO designated the Colosseum as a World Heritage Site, which was also included in the Seven Wonders of the World. It has a base area of 6 acres and is 189 meters long and 156 meters broad. The outside wall rises to a height of 48 meters. Thousands of travellers visit the Colosseum yearly to see the interior arena, making it one of Rome’s most popular tourist sites.

I had heard and watched so much about this famous location that I was speechless when I saw it for the first time. The colossal architect, as well as the lavish interior and exterior decorating, were beyond praise. The setting kept reminding me of mythological and historical things I’d read and heard about. Visiting this site was like going back in time. I’ve always wanted to return to this location because of its historical significance and tremendous attraction.

Sample Answer 2

Last month, I travelled to Egypt to see the Giza Pyramids. For me, it was a pleasant experience. Many critical details regarding the location and its history have come to light. It’s a tremendous pleasure to share the knowledge I’ve gained with you.

The Giza Pyramid, which I visited, is shaped like a big cylinder. The largest one is over 480 meters long. For thousands of years, it was the tallest building on the planet. The precise amount of time it took to build the pyramid is unknown. However, it is estimated to have taken roughly 20 years. However, how the structure was built using stones is still a mystery. The construction has produced several theories. However, none are correct or provide the necessary information. Furthermore, the bodies of the dead pharaohs were maintained in the form of mummies in various chambers within the pyramids.

The entire area resembles a desert; a pyramid building stands tall above it. Some casing stones were used to cover the pyramids, and some casing stones are still present in nearby sites. The pyramids are located a short distance from the city and are accessible by a variety of traditional and modern ways of transportation.

For some reason, I think that the pyramids are linked to history. They were the world’s highest man-made buildings. The pyramids’ construction mechanism is also charming. Even though millions of blocks were utilized to create the shape, people are still amazed. Archeologists have gone on expeditions to learn about the features of pyramids to understand their historical significance. The pyramids are unmistakably linked to history as a result of all of this.
