Describe a place near water - Speaking for IELTS

You should say:

• where this place was
• what you did at this place
• who you went there with
• and explain why you liked this place

Sample Answer:

• I have always been a nerd about places that are surrounded by water. Here, I would like to mention a specific one that has a lake. Last month, I visited Nakodar – a small town in Punjab, with my family. This is a municipal council in the Jalandhar district of Punjab. This town is famous for Dera Murad Shah.
• This Sufiyana Darbar is a symbol of peace and love where people from all religions and castes come to pay their respects. There are two primary darbars in Nakodar: Lal Badshah and Murad Shah Darbar. Once there, I visited the holy shrine to seek blessings. I, along with my family, sat in the courtyard. I felt at peace. The entire Darbar smelled of roses. The pilgrim is extremely peaceful, and the tomb is constructed in a structural way.
• Towards the other end of the Darbar, you’ll find a small lake that is surrounded by palm and date trees. There is a picturesque garden. However, visitors are not allowed to visit this garden. Yet, you can see this area from far away and click pictures.
