Descriptive Paragraph
Last summer vacation you visited your friend’s village. Her grandmother looked after you as her
own grandchild. Write a descriptive paragraph in 100 words.
In every summer vacation, I visit some hill station, but last time I visited my
friend’s grandmother’s village on her repeated invitations. She gave me warm
welcome. First of all, we took a bath in the river and rested under the dense
trees. She cared a lot especially for me as I was her guest. Her sweet nature
and soft speaking really impressed me.
The breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by her were not only tasty but full of
love. I felt as if I were in grandmother’s paradise. She also showed many
photographs from her album. She also told me that she was a champion in
swimming. She won many gold medals in swimming competition. She showed me
all the prizes she had achieved in her life. I was excited.
