MODEL ANSWER:
I’m going to talk about an occasion when I lost my direction while traveling to Phan Thiet.
When I was studying at university, I heard that Phan Thiet had preserved many historic buildings. So last summer, my family members and I decided that we would make a trip to Phan Thiet by car to relieve the mind-numbing monotony of our daily lives and admire these ancient monuments. There were four of us, so we thought that driving was a more economical and convenient way. We left Ho Chi Minh City at about 4 a.m to avoid traffic congestion. After elaborate preparation, we travelled a long distance — about 3 hours — to this place. However, on the way to our destination, we couldn’t remember the right way. Soon after, we were fined 500 thousand dongs by a group of police officers for travelling in the wrong direction. Straight away, we were very anxious because the signposting wasn’t very good in this place, and my father doesn’t have a very good sense of direction, so we became disoriented.
Following this, we navigated our way by asking locals for directions, and two hours later, we finally set foot in Phan Thiet. We were astonished by its spectacular scenery and peaceful atmosphere. It was the best destination for us to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. My father drove the car to many renowned areas in Phan Thiet, like the bustling City God Temple, gorgeous Central Park, and we sampled lots of mouth-watering food. Getting lost was one of the most memorable experiences in my life.
