1. A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT
The one great desire of my life is to visit America, the richest and the
most prosperous country of the world. I have read and heard a lot
about it.
I have a curiosity to see whether really every one man out of three in
America has got a car, whether every labourer is really handsomely
paid, he has a house of his own to live in, he can send his children to
school and he gets best food, with plenty of grape juice on his dining
table.
I am anxious to see beautiful parkland holiday homes scattered all
over the country to which the Americans repair for rest, recreation and
rejuvenation after a period of hard and strenuous work.
I want to see their schools and colleges where the youths of the
country are trained in citizenship, good manners, games and sports. I
wish to see their co-eductional institutions where young girls rub
shoulders with budding young men, where boys and girls mix freely, in
the class-rooms, in games and sports and in clubs, balls and coffee
uses.
I am most anxious to see their cinemas and above all, Hollywood and
its beauties. I want to see how American films, said to be the best in
the world, are shot.
I want to see New York, the biggest city of the world. I want to the
huge rush of traffic in its bazars and streets and on its roads, hours. I
want to see its big shops, warehouses, its lofty buildings kissing the
sky and its skyscrapers.
I want to study the private life 0f Americans, how they eat, what they
eat, how they cook their food, who cooks it and how the Americans
treat strangers to their houses. I want to see whether Americans who
are said to be at the highest rung of modern science and civilization,
are still hospitable, loving sympathetic and religious.
I shall pay a visit to the White House, shall see the President and the

2. American Congress in session. I shall exchange views on
disarmament with the great American leaders. I shall search the heart
of the common Americans about India and Indians....
I would like to visit …
It would be great to get an opportunity to visit a foreign country for two
weeks. If I had such a chance to visit a foreign country, I would no
hesitate to choose Britain. The main reason why I would choose
Britain as my destination is that I want to visit London and Cambridge.
London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is one of modern cities in
the world. There are rich art and culture matters in London. It often
draws my attention with its theaters, museums, and art galleries. I
often listen to the musical, The Phantom of the Opera, on the radio
and dream that I could go to the theater to take pleasure in the
musical. Not only the musical, but also the numbers of museums and
galleries in London attract me. Take the famed museum, the British
Museum, for example. I could see many historical heritages gathering
from all over the world there. Moreover, London has a good public
transportation system, underground and double-deck bus. I could go
any places via the convenient underground and do sightseeing by
bus. In my opinion, London is not just the capital of the United
Kingdom, but a wonderful city worthy to visit.
The second city of Britain I would like to visit is Cambridge, well known
for its university. A Chinese poet wrote several poems describing the
beautiful sights about the town and the River Cam, and I am
enchanted with those poems. I often image that I could meander along
the historic street and sit on the side of the River Cam to enjoy the
sunlight and breeze.
Of course, there are other countries I could visit if I had the opportunity

3. to visit a foreign country for two weeks. However, I think Britain would
be my first choice.
