 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question

Talk about a place you like to visit and why this place is special to you. Include details in your response.

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

A special place I like to visit is my grandparents’ house. One reason I like to visit there is because I know we are on vacation when we are there. I don’t have to worry about school or work. Their house is very far away: about a 15 hour drive. So when we go there, I know we have a vacation planned out and we won’t be expected to return home anytime soon. I love my grandparents and there are always fun things to do at their house. Their neighborhood is not very busy so I can ride my bike down their street and I don’t need to worry about cars. Their neighborhood is also very flat, so it is easy to ride my bike around there. My grandmother always makes a special cake when we come.
