Model Answer 1:
Travelling in historical places always helps expanding the realm of knowledge. 
In fact, this is the way to gain real-life knowledge. So, I love travelling and 
would like to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. 
This is the largest pyramid among the pyramid complex located at El Giza in 
Egypt. The pyramid is better known as the Pyramid of Khufu. Moreover, this is 
one of the oldest Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This is the only one 
that has been not been damaged so far. It is known that the pyramid was 
made by Pharaoh Khufu who belonged to the fourth dynasty of Egypt. The 
pyramid was built as a royal tomb with the span of 20 years. The pyramid is 
also famous as it remained as the tallest man-made structure on the planet for 
a longer time. Egyptologists are on the view that pyramid was made around 
2500 BC
Egypt is the country where different mysteries are found and in the current 
days the mysteries make the people thrilled. Pyramids are one of the attractive 
things of the country and have many specialities. The Great Pyramid was made 
wish casing stones for a smooth outer surface. The pyramid construction is still 
unknown to all but there are some hypotheses about the construction. The 

---

 
most impressionable hypothesis is that the stones were brought from a quarry 
by dragging and then those were lifted using some special techniques to be set 
in their places. But no scientific evidence or explanation has been found yet 
over the actual construction style. The place is special for another reason - 
there are three burial chambers inside the pyramid whereas the other 
pyramids do not have such chambers. 
I am a graduate student of history at the Western Sydney University and one of 
my courses deal with the ancient civilisation. Thereby, I came to know about 
the past stories of the earth, men, cultures, customs and many other relevant 
issues. One of the chapters in this course is dealing with the civilisations of 
Egypt. The chapter is all about the life and living on Egyptian Pharaohs, 
common people, Nile and the localities near and centering the Nile. A couple 
of weeks ago, the teacher for History Mr. Andrew Smith, started the chapter. 
Since I was highly interested in ancient history, the chapter attracted me most. 
Then I took help of internet and came to know about many interesting issues 
about Egypt, Nile and the pyramids. 
I have read different interesting information about the pyramids and Egypt. 
The information has made me curious to visit the place, especially the 
pyramids. It is known that the emperors (better known as Pharaohs) build the 
structure as the tomb for them. So, when they died, they were buried inside 
the burial chamber adorned with precious riches and facilities. The Egyptians 
believed that the king or emperor may need wealth in the other world. So, 
they provided the ornaments, precious stones and other wealth. Often they 
killed the servants to accompany the masters in the other world. They buried 
the servants with the kings too. Another most interesting factor is the 
mummification of the dead bodies. They used to preserve the dead bodies in 
such a way that the bodies remained the same for years and still some of the 
dead bodies have been found which have not been changed at all. These are 
highly interesting to me and so I want to visit the pyramids. 
Model Answer 2:
I would like to visit the Zanzibar Archipelago, located on the coast of Tanzania. 
This is one of the beautiful places in the world and I want to pay a visit there. 
Thank you for your interesting question. It reminds me of the days that I have 
passed there. In brief, I will describe the facts now.
The Zanzibar Archipelago is near the Indian Ocean. In fact, this is a tropical 

---

 
paradise. A scenic place to pass leisure days and moments. The place is filled 
with amazing natural beauties. Besides, the attractions are not limited only to 
natural views, the place offers a large number of things to do.
The natural scenarios are the key attractions. By visiting some of the specific 
places, visitors there get an immense pleasure. Actually, the islands here are 
filled with the beauties. The inhabitants are also helpful and kind for the 
outsiders. The historic stone town is one of the big attractions of this place. 
The city was connected with slave trades and spice. In fact, the slave trade 
continued here in the 19th century. Moreover, the activities like sailing, 
snorkelling, diving etc. are the other attractions of the islands. Fishing is 
another important outdoor activity here.
To be frank, I was seeking a nice place to spend a few days. I am a sales 
executive by profession and work with a renowned computer software 
corporation. So, I need to remain busy round the year. But my employer allows 
me a 15-days leave in a year for refreshing myself. As part of that, I was looking 
for a suitable venue for me and my wife. It was easier for me to select the 
place after browsing different websites. Initially, I had no plan to visit African 
lands, but once I saw the stunning images, I could not resist myself from taking 
the decision to go there.
I want to visit the place for some specific reasons. The most important thing 
about the place is that it can provide a complete relaxation to the travellers. 
This is a beautiful place and has a wide number of facilities for the visitors. The 
outdoor activities in the islands are wonderful and enjoying. The second thing 
about the place selection is that it is enriched with natural beauties. The 
sunrise and sunset scenes are the most beautiful scenes here. This is really a 
paradise for the people with an adventurous mind. Walking down the golden 
beaches will make you feel amazed. When you will be with your dearest one, 
and enjoy the sunset scene by holding the hand, the feelings will be 
unbelievable. Based on all the facts, I have planned to visit the place. I have 
started collecting necessary information accordingly and will move to the place 
once I get the leave.
