Speaking Test Part 2:

Model Answer:

One of my fondest childhood memories is a family holiday we took to the beach when I was about 10 years old. It was during the summer holiday and we went to a beach town in the southern part of my country.

I was with my parents, and siblings. We stayed in a cosy bungalow by the beach with a beautiful view of the sea. The weather was nice all week, which is unusual in my country. We spent most of our time on the beach, building sandcastles, exploring rock pools, playing hide-and-seek and paddling in the sea.

I look back with nostalgia on this trip because it was a carefree time which I spent with my whole family. We laughed a lot, played together, and it was an adventure too. At the time, the beach was a magical place for me, and I was filled with wonder by the crabs, jellyfish and other strange creatures there. My parents let my brother, sister and I run around and have a lot of fun, and even though they were obviously watching over us, they weren’t strict so we felt very free.
