Ten minutes from my house is the most beautiful area in the south of
England. It is called “The New Forest” and people from different parts
of England and different countries often come here on holiday.
The New Forest is a very large area of natural forest and there are a
lot of animals that live there. Horses and donkeys walk everywhere
and sometimes you can even see pigs, cows and ducks crossing the
road.
What I like about the New Forest is that the colours of the forest
change during the year. In autumn the leaves are red and gold and in
the spring everything is purple and different shades of green. The
trees are always colourful and different.
Tourists often prefer to go to the small villages in the New Forest with
pretty houses and traditional restaurants. I love to walk along the
rivers and through the trees because there you can see the true heart
of the forest.
Write a description of the last place you visited on
holiday.
Describe the place. What was it like? How was
Paragraph 1
it different from your home town or country?
Add extra information. What was the weather
Paragraph 2 like? What was the food like? What were the
people like?
End the description. What did you like most /

back?
