Model Answer 1:
Greece is a land of ancient history. A wide range of historical events has taken 
place in the land. Besides, in the current days, the country takes different looks 
in different seasons. It looks most beautiful during the winter season. There 
are a good number of things to do in Greece during the winter. Thus, I do not 
need to worry much about things to do in this season. I mostly like to 
participate in special winter film festivals held in Thessaloniki each year and I 
will go there this year as well. I like to watch movies on the festivals and enjoy 
walking on the streets illuminated with colourful lights during the festival time. 
The entire location takes the shape of a festive mood and the night views are 
breathtaking. Moreover, when if I have more times to spend, I either read 
novels published from home and abroad or pass the leisure hours with my 
family and friends by inviting them at my place.
Usually, the festival takes place in Thessaloniki in Greece and the place is 
occupied with events round the year. I come to visit the place particularly in 
winter as the climate is adorable and watching movies are great fun to me 
during this time of the year. Besides, there are some other places as well 
where I take the walk in the evening hours to remove my day-long boredom. 
Mostly I visit the sea shore where one can have the breezes, free of all forms of 
pollutions, is found that will take away all of your tiredness. Sometimes I go to

the downtown of Thessaloniki and this is a very populous place. People of 
almost all countries are found here and mostly they come to visit the historical 
places.
To continue the visit at the festivals during the winter, I need some heavy 
clothes to prevent the cold. Since the locality is laid by the sea front, there are 
too cold comparing the other parts of the city. The movies are screened on the 
island harbour area and when the shows are on outdoor; the freezing wind is 
felt severely. So, I take proper precautionary measures. Generally, when I go to 
the festivals, I wear a heavy jacket, cover my head with a woolen cap, a heavy 
pant, wear hand gloves and then cover me with a woolen overcoat. In a word, I 
make myself wind-proof. It is truly enjoyable for me. I learnt to cover myself 
from a real life experience a couple of years ago. I came to enjoy a movie on 
the film festival and had caught a severe cold for the surrounding environment. 
That was a practical lesson for me.
Winter is the best season in Greece. The entire environment remains calm and 
quiet. The nature turns pale a bit but that brings a different look to them. 
Besides, the crowds are not seen on the regularly crowded places and thus the 
streets are free of noises. In such moments, I feel comfort to watch movies or 
read books alone. In fact, to me, it appears that being alone in winter makes 
me feel better for several reasons. The most important factor is that I can feel 
entirely alone. The feelings of enjoying a movie alone cannot be expressed in 
words and when it is by the side of a sea, the feelings turns very special. 
Besides, reading the novels at room heated by charcoal is also outstanding. 
When I feel lonely most, then I invite the friends or the other family members 
to accompany me. Then I arrange for a small private party.
