Question
Describe a foreign country you have visited.
Sample answer
I have planned to visit Greece after my graduation is done. I have a relative there and he has invited me to visit his family several times. Earlier this year when I was promoted to the final year of my graduation, I have planned to visit at least one foreign country just after my graduation day. I have considered many countries and finally planned to visit Greece. It is a country in southern Europe and has around 11 million populations.
I have planned to visit Greece in the middle of the next year and would stay there for about one month. The relative I have there is my maternal uncle and he lives at Athens with his family. There is a good chance that I will be staying with them during my visit there. Greece is a culturally rich country that offers the visitors and tourists a lot of amazing activities, splendid sceneries, museums, diverse culture and many more. The museums, archaeological sites and the tours offer the chance to closely know the history of this country. The islands are the main characteristic of Greece’s morphology and have become a big part of their custom and culture.
There are 2-3 main reasons I would like to visit the country. First, the invitation to visit my maternal uncle has been pending for several years and I thought it a good chance to meet them. Second, I am a big fan of mythology and Greek mythology was one of my most interesting readings for the last few years. Those stories have been so profoundly entertaining and thought provoking and suddenly I found a great desire to visit the place in person. Though things have changed there with time but the archaeological sites and museum would walk a visitor though the past and present and would amaze them.
This is an ideal place to stay and enjoy. This is a country of crossroad color of culture, history, diversity, warmth of friendliness, expectation, discover and expedition. For all those reasons I have decided to visit Greece in the next year.
