11. Describe a city you have been to and would like

to visit again

You should say:

- When you visited

- What you did there

- What is was like

- And explain why you would like to visit it again


🎯 Sample Answer:

Honestly speaking, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a number of cities in India, but one city that left a lasting impression on me and which I’d definitely love to visit again is Chandigarh.

I first visited Chandigarh around a year ago during my semester break with a couple of close friends. It was a short but refreshing trip, and I still vividly remember the amazing experience we had. We stayed there for three days and made the most out of it.

During our stay, we explored some popular tourist attractions like Sukhna Lake, Rock Garden, and Elante Mall. We also tried some delicious street food at Sector 17 Market. What really stood out to me was how clean, well-planned, and peaceful the city was. Unlike many other Indian cities that are bustling and overcrowded, Chandigarh gave off a calm and soothing vibe.

What made this trip even more special was the quality time I spent with my friends — we clicked photos, shared laughs, and made memories that I’ll cherish forever.

I’d love to visit Chandigarh again not only to relive those moments but also to explore more places that we couldn’t cover last time. I’ve heard great things about places like Rose Garden and Japanese Garden, which are still on my bucket list.

All in all, Chandigarh is a perfect blend of modern lifestyle and natural beauty, and it gave me a sense of peace that I rarely find elsewhere. That’s why it’s definitely on my list to revisit soon.
