    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 /
    Paragraph 3 least about the place? Would you like to go
    back?

    * Remember to check your description before you hand it in: spelling,


    grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, structure, modifiers, linkers …
