Describe a place you often go to relax. You should say -where this place is -why you go there to relax -when you usually go there -and explain how you feel when you are there
Well, one place I frequently visit to unwind is a quiet public garden located on the outskirts of my city.
This garden is situated about 20 kilometres from my residence, and I believe it's maintained by a nearby church community. It is never busy and, to my mind, it is relaxing because it is a perfect coupling of natural beauty and tranquility. Whenever I go there, the garden is lush and full of colour and the birds are chirping in and around the nearby trees.
I typically visit this garden during weekends, which allows me to disconnect from the demands of work and immerse myself in nature. If I can make it there in the morning, the sunlight filters through the tree leaves and this creates a really relaxing atmosphere. This coupled with the refreshing scent of flowers is therapeutic and helps me recharge for the coming workweek.
As for how I feel, when I am in this serene environment, a profound sense of tranquility washes over me. The stress and tension accumulated during the week seem to dissipate as I absorb the beauty of my surroundings. It's a very calming experience, and I guess it is not a stretch to say I feel as though I am one with nature. I feel absolutely amazing when I'm there.
I guess to wrap up, I would say this garden is much more than just a place. It is an escape from ordinary life and I am very happy it has become an integral part of my routine.
