Sample Answer
Well, I hope that during the next national holiday, I can get away for a family vacation to a famous attraction in Hunan province called Yuelu Academy, which is one of the four most famous academies in ancient Chinese history.
My best friend Lisa, who was there before, said she went there by a high-speed train. It took about 6 hours. So I guess it’s not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump away. If possible, I’d like to go on a road trip in an RV. I’ve never traveled in an RV before. It would be a total blast to go on a vacation with this kind of vehicle. As far as I know, there’s always a large bed in an RV as well as a kitchen and a washroom. It would make the journey a total breeze.
Anyway, as I said, I plan to go with my family. I’m sure there’ll be a ton to do. Firstly, it’s an absolute must for us to take tons of photos, we’ll definitely enjoy the breathtaking views. Besides, I heard many historical relics have been perfectly kept there. Since I’m crazy about ancient Chinese culture, I think I would spend some time appreciating the authentic artworks there.
In fact, the academy is a place I’ve planned to visit for ages. It came with glowing recommendations from my friend Lisa. She said it’s a place with the deepest cultural atmosphere. So I can’t wait to go and see the place.
