Martin (The United States): The
one country I would most like1
to visit would have to be New Zealand. Many reasons, the number one being2 it looks like3 an
absolutely gorgeous4
country, especially having seen Lord
of the Rings5 and that is one of my favorite movies. Another
reason is, I've never been6
south of the equator and I'd really like to see if the water flushes in reverse7,
but on the, by and large8 New Zealand looks like the most amazing9 country and
I've met10 a lot
of nice people from there.
Akane
(Canada): One country that I
would like to visit is France. I've never been to France before but I've heard many things11
about it because my father and my mother went to France on their honeymoon12 and so
they have very good memories about France and I can also speak some French so
it would be nice to get some practice13.
Todd
(The United States): If I could visit any
country in the world, believe it or not, I'd go to Canada. I'm from America and
Canada is our neighbor to the north and I've never been there and I live overseas14. I've been
to many countries, probably 25 at
least15, Japan, France, Italy, Thailand, many, many places,
but I've never been to Canada and I have so
many16 Canadian friends that I would really like to go to
Canada and see their country for the first time.
Naomi
(Australia): One country that I
would really like to visit is Vietnam. I've never been anywhere17 in that area of Asia actually18 but I've
seen a lot of footage19 of
Vietnam on television and it looks really beautiful. I think you can take20 relaxing boat cruises21
through the lagoons and small islands and also I heard that the food there is
really tasty22 so
I would like to visit there one day.
Ruth
(England): One country I'd
really like to visit is actually23
Malawi. Now I would like to go to Malawi because my mom24 used25
to work there. She lived there for two years, and I've seen some of her photos
and it looks amazing, so I'd like to go there. I'd like to go there with my mum
so that I can learn26
more about the places that she went to and see some of the things that she saw27. That's where
I'd like to go.
Simon
(Canada): Yeah, one country
where I'd like to visit again would be Cuba. Cuba is great. It has tropical weather28,
interesting Latin culture and music, a strange government system that has made
1950's cars common and behive haircuts29 mixed
with30 hip-hop gear31, fashions32, yeah,
really, really cool33, plus34 the architecture.
