Model Answer 1:
I went in Greece and visited the Myrtos Beach located in Kefalonia Myrtos in 
October of 2015 for my honeymoon purpose and had spent two entire days 
with my spouse at the beach sides. 
The numbers of exotic locations in Greece were ample and sometimes it 
became difficult for me and my wife to decide where to go. We went in Greece 
for honeymoon and had spent 15 days together in the country. We travelled in 
different parts of the country and enjoyed numerous historical structures and 
monuments. But the day beside the Myrtos Beach is still vivid in my memory. 
The commoners of the area said that the beach was one of the wonderful 
beaches in the world for its special turquoise water and the breathtaking 
sunset views. The entire beach was filled with white pebbles and the serene 
atmosphere truly attracted us. The beach lied between the feet of two 
mountains and geographically located in the north-west of Kefalonia Island. 
Thank you for honouring me with the question. I went to my honeymoon trip 
with my wife. After lots of calculations and budgeting, we decided to go in 
Greece for the trip and it was the most suitable destination for the purpose. 
We did lots of things there and spent two days consecutively at the beach. The 
beach is enriched with natural features and beauties. I had found that the 
beach was made up of marble materials and white cobblestones. The shoreline 
view is dazzling and the waves are higher than the other beaches in Greece. 
Walking through the beach provides a feeling of freshness. The gentle breeze is 
also enjoyable.
We did a large number of things beside the shoreline and enjoyed doing so. 
The beach made us crazy with its stunning look and natural beauties. The deep 
blue sky, the turquoise water, bathing in the water, water sports with my wife, 
clicking photos and posing for them, running across the shoreline, waiting for 
the next wave to sink under etc. were the common forms of entertainment for 
us. Besides, we took sea foods from the nearby restaurants. But we had fun 
during the bath most. The water was fresh and crystal clear. I also have bottled

some water as a souvenir for me. Besides, I wanted to surf on the waves but 
my wife did not agree because of less water depth. The photos were amazing, 
especially the sunset scenes were superb! If I knew that you would ask me 
about the trip, I would have brought some of the images for you! 
Ahh!! The days were great!! I truly enjoyed the trip and it was worthy of the 
efforts I invested arranging it. We saved money for three months to get on 
board for the trip. Besides, budgeting was the most important factor for me as 
I was the only wage earner for my family. The expenses were high in my city, 
Bacoor in Philippines and I had to cut several expenses to save the money. 
Thereby, we planned to make the honeymoon a perfect one. I think it is well 
known to you that honeymoons are done once in a lifetime and thus it should 
be done perfectly. We had enjoyed almost all the available amenities in Greece 
and particularly by the beach side. The trip will be ever reminding to me and 
my wife and thank you for the chance to recalling the memories of those days.

My recent visit to India provided me with immense pleasure. I went there for 
some business purposes and had to say at Varanasi, a city near the River 
Ganges. The experiences were outstanding. In fact, I never had such a 
wonderful experience in my past visits in the country.
Varanasi is locally also known as Banaras and one of the old cities of the world. 
This city is stretched to the River Ganges. Besides, this is a city with some 
religious perspectives. A notable number of people come to visit the city 
annually and perform their rituals with the River Ganges. The city is also 
popular for many of noted Indian musicians, scholars, philosophers and 
others.
I went to India for business purposes. In fact, I have several businesses here in 
Singapore. I actually import various types of goods and sell them in my shop 
here. I own five shops and three of them are in street market. The street shops 
sell various types of goods including clothing, toys, bags, leather goods, 
ornaments and many other things. But I sell only branded products in two 
other shops located in two shopping malls. I have some associates who take 
care of the selling and I am involved into the purchase. So, I need to travel 
frequently in different places and countries. I prefer India most to import 
goods because the goods are of best quality. But sometimes, there are some 
complications and hence I need to visit the country frequently.

Primarily I was engaged with selecting the products for my shops in Singapore. 
But I did not miss the chances to visit the places near the River Ganges. I also 
had some interesting experiences. Some of the local people were taking bath 
in the Ganges with a religious belief that they will be free of sins. I also visited 
some of the renowned temples there. The cultural diversity attracted me most 
in this place. I cannot forget the scenes of the sunset from the river. I was on a 
boat during the sunset and enjoyed the natural view and breeze greatly. 
Besides, I also took a bath in the river. It was merely a bath, not to fulfil any 
religious promises.
I enjoyed visiting the place. In fact, I enjoyed the sightseeing part of my trip. 
Though it was a business trip for me, I made a plan to take a short trip around 
the city. I had never met with the River Ganges before though I came to the 
country several times. But it was difficult to manage time for the trip. But the 
trip was enjoyable for many reasons. I wish to make such trips again if I can 
have chances.
