2. Detailed Sample Response

I would love to make a car trip in the near future. This has been a lifelong dream; however, none of my family members or friends obtained a driving license, which is why I was unable to fulfill the wish. Now, since my father has bought a brand-new SUV that is perfect for road trips, my whole family and I are prepared for the exciting adventures ahead as soon as the pandemic lockdown measures are lifted.

The journey would be wasted and tedious without great companions. Indeed, I have planned this trip for my beloved family. It would be nice to go on some national holiday as we want to take advantage of the days off. I also like to set off in pleasant weather conditions, so spring would be fantastic for a road trip.

Our itinerary will include visits along the coast from the northern region to the middle area of my country, and the final destination will be Hoi An ancient town located on Vietnam's central coast. This stunning World Heritage site is synonymous with charming architecture, unique ambiance from a mix of eras and styles, superb local cuisine, and generous hospitality.

Besides, there is a wide range of cultural and shopping activities to choose from, such as participating in authentic cooking classes, browsing at Central market, and doing farm work in the vegetable village. When feeling tired, I would unwind on the tranquil, palm-lined beach of An Bang, situated not far away from the old town center. I have visited Hoi An town several times, but with a road trip by car, it would be quite an experience that I can share with my family for the first time.
