Model Answer 1:
Last month, I went to Berlin in Germany to have some business deal (I deal 
with plastic materials) and visited the Berlin State Library. This is a universal 
library and thus contains all types of printed materials and books. 
The library is located in Berlin under Germany. It is commonly known as Stabi 
and mostly contains the properties of Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. 
This is one of largest libraries in the European continent. The library is of great 
importance for its universal collection of book, research materials, oldest bible, 
novels, references, oldest books and more others. The library is known as 
universal for its huge collection and it proudly contains almost all the famous 
items of the world. The library is also important to the German-spoken people 
as most of the collections are composed in the German language. The library 
also collects cultural works of all languages which are not found anywhere else 
in the world. It also contains some rare collections of world famous artists’ 
creations like Symphony no.9 of Beethoven, manuscripts of Mozart etc. the 
library mostly serves the role of research to the people who visit there. 
I went there to have some knowledge about a universal library. I have heard 
about the universal library and its speciality but have never seen before in my 
life. So, I was eagerly waiting to visit the library. Besides, I also wanted to read 
something inside the library and did not miss the chance here. In fact, I had no 
intentions to read about research or perform any academic activities at the 
library rather the sole aim was entertainment. I wanted to know about the 
library, its history, its origin, how it preserved the media and books and more 
other issues. Besides, I have never entered into any big library like this before. 
In fact, I was curious to know about the inner events of the library like this 
one.
I came to know about the library from the Internet. I have some specific ways 
to do things. Whenever I go to a new place, I try to get information about the 
location earlier so that I could not fall in any unwanted danger or situations. I 
have started practising the method after experiencing some real life 
‘situations’ and I had to pay the price unexpectedly for my ignorance. So, 
before moving to Berlin, I had some home works. I browsed about the entire 
locality like information about its streets, nearby stations of my place where I 
will stay, police stations, adjacent visiting places, locations of superstores and

shopping malls, routes to arrive in my residing hotel and many more. During 
the search on the internet, I came to know about the library. Then I decided to 
pay a visit if I could make some changes and the intention came true.
The experience inside the library was marvellous. I never expected that I could 
be able to enter into a huge library like this. The library contains a large 
number of rare collections. Most of the collections are too rare to be found in 
any other parts of the globe. The collections of the library are splendid and the 
preservation system is also a standard one. Thousands of books on different 
subjects are stored on shelves and I failed to count the books in a single shelf. 
When I sat with a book inside the library, it appeared that I am carrying a 
history in my hand in the form of a book. The pages were faded while some of 
the pages got torn. Besides, the reading tables made with heavy woods also 
had a great impact on my mind. The entire environment reminds me of the 
olden days and when I read a book over the German history, it appeared that 
the events are taking place before me.
