Describe a Foreign Country You Have Never Been To - Speaking for IELTS

You should say:

• what country it is (including where it is in the world)
• what this country is like
• what people can do in this country
• and explain why you would like to go to this country

Sample Answer:

• Countless people around the world love to travel. A substantial number of people travel multiple times a year to new and exciting places. Although I am not as inclined towards travelling as some of my peers are, there are a few countries that I would like to visit atleast once in my lifetime. One such country is Japan, a country located in East Asia.
• Japan is one of the most beautiful and developed countries in the world, if not the most developed. It is famous for its culture, traditional arts, and various world heritage sites. Japan is also renowned for renouncing its right to declare war. The public service system in Japan is a model for the whole world to learn from, and this is a country where the government puts substantial emphasis on the welfare of its citizens.
• When I visit the country, I will participate in the plethora of activities tourists usually embark on here. From visiting heritage sites to trying out delicious Japanese food, that is famous worldwide. Cuisines like Udon, Ramen, and Sushi are some of the food items that are so popular that nearly every country tries to emulate these dishes. Japan is also well known for its folk music and instruments like koto and shamisen. Japanese architecture is also a popular tourist attraction, and places like the Ritsurin Garden and the Shrines of Ise are classic models of Japanese architecture.
• One of the main reasons for my interest in visiting Japan is the different food and cuisines. Since I love trying different types of food, Japanese cuisine is one of the top items on my food bucket list. I would also like to witness other aspects of Japanese culture and experience urban life in Japan for a few days.
