ReplyDeleteMy Dear Friends
I had been on a vacation to Dubai with my family. My dates to visit were tentative but still I reached my destination as it was my dream country. I saw unity in diversity. I saw the famous Bhurj Khalifa and it was such a pleasant place that I felt relaxed and peaceful looking at it.The desert safari ride surpassed my expectations. I didn't think of having such a ride in the desert sand anytime but it was awesome experience. The temperature of Dubai was moderate and we had a great experience. The camel riding and the Abudabi zoo fascinated me a lot and it was the best experience. Finally,vacations should be a part of everyone's life at least once in a year.
I have used the words tentative,surpassed,moderate, diversity.

Comments: I did not see the word “verify” in your answer. You also did not use “conceive” correctly. However, you did use “moderate”, “surpass”, and “tentative” correctly. The word “diversity” would have been better if you had said “diversity of fish” instead. Total: 98%
I use five words that they are conceive, diversity, moderate, surpass, verify in my postcard.
ReplyDeleteHello Friends,
ReplyDeleteAs you all know i have been to goa the last week with my family. It was an outstanding experience. We started the journey by plane and were very excited.

We explored beaches and malls in 4 days . And as the trip ended we were sad to return home . Hope we could inhibit those days. We all will plan a trip together soon.
Words- variety, derived, inhibit
Hi
ReplyDeleteWe planned a holiday with my friend, even though the date we were going to go was tentative. Our destination was Turkey's Antalya resort. And finally, we reached the destination we wanted. I saw unity in diversity. Antalya's temperature was moderate and we had a great experience. I felt relaxed and peaceful when I saw the sea. Activities like driving on the sea surpassed my expectations. Vacations give people peace and comfort. That's why we should make it a habit to take a vacation once or twice a year.
Hope to see you on vacations

Hey there guys,
ReplyDeleteYou all will not believe how awesome Mauritius is. The beautiful island nation has so much to offer. I derived great pleasure from my trip and my stay at LUX Grand Gaube. I tried so many water sports there. Everything was amazing, from water-skiing to scuba diving, kite surfing to sea-karting. My experience there surpassed my expectations. The weather there is also very nice and warm. And my favorite part about the trip was the level of diversity in people. I met a lot of different people from different parts of the world. And what’s amazing was that we were all very different from each other, but we still got along very well.
I used words:- derive, surpass, diversity

Hello Fanny,
ReplyDeleteYou will not believe where I am spending my holidays. I'm in Vegas! I went to a casino and, in order to enter, I had to verify my age by showing my identity. There is a buffet inside, and I really like the diversity in food. It has surpassed my expectations. I also plan to go to the spa to inhibit negative energies. I hope that one day we can come here together.

Last year I went to turkey to spend my vacation as a tourist alone. Turkey is a stunningly beautiful country with friendly and welcoming people. My vacation was wonderful. The only disadvantage was the heat; the outdoor tours were extremely hot.
ReplyDeleteI took a tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, and Izmir and I conceived that I had an amazing time.
The hotels that had been reserved for us exceeded our expectations was moderative, and the drivers and tour guides were even more pleasant. I'd like to emphasize that all of the tours were extremely informative, and the sights were so beautiful that at the end of each day.
We can't derive decide which city provided the best experience because the tour agency planned the itinerary so that we saw everything and more that we had hoped to see during our Turkey trip.
The tour guides from Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, and Izmir were extremely knowledgeable and explained even minor details about diversity food and culture, which enhanced the experience and allowed us to learn more about Turkey than we could have imagined.
i used: Conceive, Deversity , Moderative and Derive.
