Sample Answer (Band 8.0)
Monotonous routine of life sometimes makes life full. From last 6 months, my life was restricted to home and office which reduced the charm of life. Just to relax, refresh and rejuvenate, I decided to take a journey . Last week I went to shimla, a hill station. Snow covered mountains,breathtaking lakes, pleasant climate, andalluring greenery –Shimla offers everything one can ask for. Popularly known as the queen of hill stations, the city and the places nearby never cease to amaze with their endearing beauty.There is this magic in Shimla’s air that makes everyone fall in love with it. It is blessed with all the natural bounties which one can think of. The trip lasted 3 days. I went with my family by my own car. It took four hours to reach the place. As the journey was by my own vehicle, so we enjoyed the scenic beauty of thick green forest , big mountains, flowing streams on the way. The monkeys were really centre of attraction. In shimla , we stayed in a hotel for 2 nights and 3 days.
We went to myriad places like the Viceroy Lodge, the Christ Church, ‘jakhoo ‘ Temple which is at very high altitude. This temple is heaven for all nature lovers and pilgrims who come to visit the historic and incredible 108 feet tall lord Hanuman statue. Popularly known as the Scandal Point,this place is home to the famous Tudor library. The platform offers marvelous specter of sunset and sunrise . The Shimla state museumamazingly displays the glorious past of the state with its rich culture and heritage. They have a marvellous collection of different artifacts, paintings, sculptures, handicrafts and a lot more which they have been preserving since ages. I did horse riding there and The pine trees equally enhance the beauty of the place. We purchased traditional garments, winter wears and decoration pieces from there.
We captured memorable moments in our camera but the most enthrallingmoment was when all family members wore traditional Himachal costume and clicked a family photograph. We enjoyed traditional cuisines also at the place. I liked the place because of its stunning beauty, chilly weather and greenery all around . The experience of vising the place was invigorating and is surely a treat to one’s eyes with its captivating beauty and ambiance. when I again started my routine, I was vigorous and Arduous.
