Band 7 Answer

I want to talk about an interesting decision I made with my friend last year. We decided to go on a short road trip during the summer holidays. At first, we were not sure where to go, but we planned it together. We chose a nearby hill station, which was not very far from our city. The trip was exciting because we had never traveled alone before. We shared responsibilities like arranging transport, food, and places to stay. I enjoyed making decisions together and learning how to cooperate. The trip was a lot of fun, and I felt happy that we did it. It was a memorable experience that brought us closer as friends.

Band 8 Answer

I would like to describe an interesting decision I made together with a close friend. Last year, we agreed to go on a short road trip during the summer holidays. Initially, we were uncertain about the destination, but we carefully planned it together. We eventually chose a nearby hill station, which was not too far from our city, so it was convenient and manageable. The journey was exciting because it was our first time traveling independently. We divided responsibilities, such as arranging transport, preparing food, and finding accommodation. I particularly enjoyed the process of making decisions collaboratively, which helped improve our teamwork and planning skills. The trip turned out to be a truly enjoyable and memorable experience, and I felt proud and satisfied that we made it happen. It also strengthened our friendship and gave us stories to remember for years.
