Sample Answer:
Several years ago my boyfriend and I found a wonderful resort by the river, and we liked it so much that since that time we’ve visited this place every summer.
This resort is situated in the coniferous forest, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are one- and two-storey wooden cottages scattered around a large territory so that you have a feeling that there are no people around. Just you and nature. I especially liked those overlooking the river.
In my opinion, there is nothing more tranquil than strolling through a forest of tall pine trees, breathing in fresh air and enjoying the beauty of nature or sitting down by the river bank, looking at the water. This place was fantastic, having all we needed for a good rest. In the daytime, we sunbathed, splashed in the water, swam and played different games. Once I remember we even went on a boat trip which was fun. In the evenings, we were sitting on the terrace, watching the sun set over the water, talking and drinking wine or tea. At night, we liked sitting on the edge of the pontoon and watching the moon reflecting on water. I could spend hours there as I couldn’t take my eyes off the ripples in the water.
I really liked spending time there as, first of all, it was a good chance to be with my significant other away from city noise and everyday problems. Also, being there made me calmer and helped me to recharge my batteries. I will definitely return to this place many times in the future.
