A Journey You Remember Well
Speaking Part 2
Question
Describe a journey you remember well. You should say where you went and how you travelled. Explain why the journey was important to you and how you felt about it.
Model Answer
I would like to describe a train trip I took from Hanoi to Da Nang two summers ago. I travelled overnight in a with two friends. The scenery along the coast was beautiful, and we stopped at small stations where vendors sold snacks. This journey mattered to me because it was the first I planned and paid for myself. I felt proud and independent, and I also felt relaxed because the rhythm of the train gave me time to think.
