Answer these questions in the fullest possible way.
| What is the most beautiful place you have ever visited? |
TRANSCRIPT
“The most beautiful place I have visited was Lake Bled in Slovenia. The water was so clear and blue, and the small island with a church in the middle looked magical. I went hiking around the lake and the views were breathtaking.”
| If you had the time and money, which places would you like to see? |
TRANSCRIPT
“If I had the time and money, I would love to see the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. I have seen pictures and videos of them, and they look so unique and powerful. I think it would be unforgettable to stand there and see them in real life.”
| How should people protect such places of outstanding natural beauty? |
TRANSCRIPT
“I think people should protect these places by following the rules, not leaving rubbish, and respecting the animals that live there. Governments should also limit the number of visitors and invest in keeping the area clean and safe. That way, future generations will also be able to enjoy them.”

DISCUSSION
DIALOGUE
In this conversation, Alita and Pete talk about stunning natural places they’ve visited or dream of visiting. Through their discussion, they reflect on what makes a place truly memorable.
Alita: Pete, have you ever seen a place so breathtaking that you just stopped and stared?
Pete: Absolutely. Last year I went hiking in the Alps, and the jagged rock formations with snow on top were just jaw-dropping.
Alita: That sounds amazing! I once discovered a hidden gem in northern Scotland—this tiny loch surrounded by majestic cliffs. There was no one around, just birds and silence. It felt almost… eerily perfect.
Pete: I love moments like that. I think nature has a way of making you feel both small and connected at the same time. The vast open spaces really help you reset.
Alita: I agree. And the colors—some places have such vivid tones. I remember a sunset in Morocco that looked like a painting.
Pete: Sounds glorious. I also think places that allow you to explore till your heart’s content are the most special. Whether it’s a long hike trail or a peaceful beach.
Alita: Exactly! It doesn’t even have to be a famous site. Sometimes the places that don’t feature on travel blogs are the best. I once snuck into an old castle ruin in Ireland—it had been mostly dismantled, but it felt magical.
Pete: You know, I used to chase places that got the lion’s share of attention on social media. But now I prefer those quiet, adorable spots that make me feel at peace.
Alita: So true. I think beauty is not just about the view, but how a place makes you feel.
Pete: Well said. I guess the real treasures are the ones that make us stop, breathe, and truly take in the moment.
