There is a thing that troubles me more often than not when living in Vietnam is the majority of
people are riding motorbikes rather than cars. As a result, most people don’t know how to drive a car,
I included, which also itches me since I have always wanted to take a road trip across the country. A

and adventurous because hundreds of marvelous destinations are awaiting to be explored. However,
it is worth taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone to truly experience what life has to
offer when your legs can still carry you rather than to regret in your later life.
“If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go together.” It might be fun if you were a lone
traveler and didn’t enjoy getting lagged behind your schedule. Still, the adventure could be more
colorful and unexpected, hopefully in a good way, when you got company, especially during a long
journey like the one I prefer. Hence, picking up a close friend or two who share the same vision, the
sameeagerness to capture the beauty of Vietnam would be my choice. We would start from the
south where we are living and move north on the go, stopping at our favorite beaches like Phu Quoc,
Nha Trang… a little longer than other places because there ain’t nobody don’t have time for juicy
coconuts and white sand paradise. Vietnamese cuisine would also be our utmost priority whenever
we reach a new place as the best way to live like a local is to eat like a local. A car is our best choice
because it would give us room to comfortably converse with each other and shelter from inclement

Band 8.0+ Sample Answer
I’m not a great swimmer in any sense but swimming is like my religion. It is
truly refreshing andliterally, washes away every disturbing thought I have whenever I dive into
cold water. No matter how tight my schedule may get, I usually pay at least one visit to a local
swimming pool to work myself upand get rejuvenated.
Sometimes, I have a partner or two, who have been my best friends since high school. We live in the
same neighborhood so it’s not too stressful when we have to set a schedule for our swimming session.
We carpool more often than not and it takes us roughly 15 minutes to get to the local recreation
centerwhere it provides the locals with a variety of facilities for training purpose such as gym class,
stadium, swimming pool, tennis court and so on, which is extremely convenient for those who
practice more than one activity. The only thing better then swimming itself is swimming with your

besties, which is one of hundreds of things I love about my weekly ritual. Hardly do we have time to
meet each other during week days as we’re all up to our neck at work and totally stressed out.
Therefore, having such a healthy way to catch up with my friends and recharge battery after an
exhausting week never sounds better. Just like any other sports, swimming helps maintain your
health, keep you fit as well as build your endurance. However, unlike others, it’s a very relaxing
and peaceful form of exercise, you don’t even sweat for hours – a supreme advantage. Therefore, if
you’re looking for a kind of sport that brings you comfort andrelaxation, swimming should be your
first choice.
