Bài mẫu chủ đề “Describe a place you visited on vacation”

I’m going to talk about one of my favorite overseas trips, and that is when I went to Singapore to celebrate my 20th birthday. It is one of the cleanest and safest countries I have ever visited.

Located in Southeast Asia, this little oasis is the most developed city in the region. Unlike other countries in the area, which are famous for their exotic charms and breath-taking scenery, Singapore is known for its top-notch facilities and modern infrastructure. Its cleanliness is also worth mentioning. The streets here are extremely different from what you will find in Vietnam, I mean, they are nearly spotless and you can be fined if you litter in public places, which prevents these places from being filled with trash. Even the tap water here is potable.

So I went there a few years ago. It was the second time that I traveled abroad so I had a little traveling experience. I planned my itinerary quite carefully so that I could explore every aspect of the country. We visited different places, from sidewalk cafes to first-rate shopping malls, hotels and restaurants. What I liked most was the nightlife there. There were several pubs selling local micro-brews, with very stylish and approachable waiters.

I would love to pay a visit to Singapore again. Of course, I have to wait until the pandemic is over to fulfill my dream.

What are some popular attractions that people like to visit in your country?

Vietnam is such a big country so there are many places that attract people. If you are an adventurous person, you could go on a trekking trip to various mountain ranges in the north.

Do old people and young people choose different places to go on vacation? Why?

Well, yes. I guess young people are much more dynamic and outgoing so they prefer going to places that have lots of recreational activities to do.

But of course, there are exceptions, like my grandfather always loves to visit crowded ancient temples.

It’s exciting when making travel plans because you know that your vacation is coming.

Various ways. Word of mouth is the most popular method. I mean, they could ask for information from people who have been to that place. Moreover, newspapers and travel magazines are useful as well. There are often travel columns in newspapers where there is lots of information about tourist destinations, from suggestions on where to eat, to offering sightseeing tours.
