Describe a seaside place that you want to visit.

　　You should say:

　　 where is this place

　　 what you know about it

　　 what will you see and do if you go there

　　and explain why you want to visit this seaside place.

　　Model Response: Many people dream of going to the beach or a seaside resort on their vacation, so I guess I am one of those lucky guys because I have a seaside place of my own. It’s actually a small, roughly built cabin on the verge of a remote seaside town, about 80 miles away from my hometown Hangzhou. Not many know about this place, and few would even think of going there. But whenever I have a long holiday, I will spend one or two days in the cabin doing a lot of interesting things. For example, I would like to take a load of pictures of the sea, of its beautiful moments, of the ebbs and flows along the shore, and of various unknown seabirds that come to rest on the beach. Also, I am a keen collector of seashells, so living in the cabin gives me plenty of time to discover and choose the most unique seashells in terms of size, shape and color. Besides, just lying in a hammock hanging between two trees near the cabin is enjoyable – you can feel the sunlight on your skin, watch the rising tides playing on the sand, and listen to many strange sounds of nature. But my favorite activity is reading. I don’t bring computer, cell phone, iPod or any electronic device there, so in this undisturbed and unplugged lifestyle, I can finish a novel in just two days. And my life always becomes so refreshed and enriched and meaningful again after I come back from the seaside cabin.
