Describe a Time When you Enjoyed Your Visit to a Park or Garden- IELTS Cue Card

Describe a time when you enjoyed your visit to a park or garden.

Sample Answer

I have always been very fond of hills and hill stations and generally, I never miss a chance to visit one. On my last summer vacation, I got a chance to visit Uttarakhand, a beguiling hill station in Uttarakhand. This was where I saw an alluring park called “Heavenly Bliss”. This park is in a town called Vasundhara and is one of the most beautiful illustrations of the wonders of nature.

The park is encompassed by beautiful verdure and trees of beautiful inflorescence. The scene by itself is a visual treat that entrances one’s senses. Apart from that, the park is rich in biodiversity with the most beautiful flora and fauna. Moreover, the cool breeze owing to its location scintillates one to the core and freshens one up. Truly, it is one of the most ravishing places I have ever seen so far.

I, along with some of my friends, went there as we heard a lot about its natural therapeutic effect that cleanses one’s soul. However, contrary to what I supposed it to be, it didn’t have rides as it wasn’t an amusement park. I thought it would be a place for children, but what I experienced was nothing short of a natural amusement. We all sat there on the benches and sauntered across the park.
