Sample 1
Being a travelling buff, I would like to visit many countries on my bucket list. One is exceptional, and I would like to see it soon. And the name of this country is Vietnam. And I know a lot about it.
So it is a country which is good in two domains. The first is textiles, and the second is electronics. So, this country has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 10 years, and apart from this, it has a perfect past, rich culture, and traditions.
The country gave tough competition to America in the Vietnam War. And apart from this, this country is also famous for its natural beauty. So be it caves, hill stations, or serene and pristine beaches, it has everything for a tourist.
Moreover, new areas are coming up in this country based on new urban planning, so this country combines countryside and city well. So when I visit this country, I see it with my friends because, like me, my friends are also inquisitive. So they want to know more about the cultural traditions.
I won’t be confined to travelling by air or train when I go there. I would rather travel by local bus because that is the best way to know about a country. After all, you gel with the local people and learn about the country’s cultural traditions here. The one thing that intrigues me and why I would like to visit Vietnam is the country’s rich culture.
The Vietnamese people have a very different mindset. They start their day at eight, end at five, and are very professional in their work. And here it’s women empowerment in Vietnam, and in many businesses, women head the show, and they lead it. That is one thing which is very peculiar about this country, and I would learn various details by going over it. So that’s why I would like to visit.
