SAMPLE ANSWERS
My preferred holiday destination would be Pulau Pinang. It is definitely my first
choice for a holiday destination because it has so much to offer any visitor.

Firstly, Pulau Pinang has lots of delicious hawker food. I would enjoy my favourite
dishes like nasi kandar, mee jawa and white curry noodles there, and eat a different dish for
every meal. Another reason to visit Pulau Pinang is its rich history, and interesting places to
visit. I would definitely visit architectural gems such as the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Khoo
Kongsi and the century-old water villages. I would also take photographs of the street art
along the streets of George Town. I would enjoy hiking or swimming every day too, since
Pulau Pinang offers a variety of nature-based activities. If I’m lucky, I could even see dolphins
off the coast.

This beautiful island is my preferred holiday destination because there is so much to

see and do there.
