    When I was a kid, I had a little pencil box which had these four buttons which gave the pencil box an operative use. When you press the button, the box would open up. When you press the second button, a little part of it would slide out. Basically it was just a little electronical and a fun thing to have and I owned it when I was in 6th. One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore.

    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    I would like to start by saying that there's one particular place I'd like to visit called Isan. It's in South Korea and it's a hiking trail and it's probably what I'd want to visit if I was looking for a forest area because it's dense, covered in forest and it's in a pretty mountainous region. I found out about this when I was following my favourite artist BTS there from South Korea as well and one particular member called Jin explored this area after serving in the military so it was depicted as if he had a hard time following this hiking trail because it's quite arduous and it's a steep hilly region filled with thick forests so it's probably not the best for a person who's not as athletic but I'd always welcome a challenge. And there are four stops in this trail where you get to rest and recover. So initially the first stop is around 300m high. You get to stock up on essentials like water or a packet of glucose in case you feel a bit dizzy. And after that you get to walk for perhaps 6km until the middle stop where you get to recover if your muscles are sore or you want some time to let yourself breathe. And this region particularly is lush with evergreen forests.

    Being a travel freak, I love to travel. Last time I remember, when I visited Manali with my friends, we spent two nights at the Kasaul forest. I would love to go there and visit again in future, as I can do various activities there like camping, trekking, or we can cook our meals by ourselves with our home kitchen, like carrying stuff. I would love to spend time with my friends and family. I surely want to visit there, as I like the surrounding, the surrounding gives me a peaceful environment in my mind, I like the sound of birds chirping, large blown winds, cold winds, I love the surrounding the most, so I can get relief from my stress and other social issues. I would love to visit there again. Thank you. For more information, visit www.fema.gov

    I would like to visit a peaceful spot deep inside the Dung Forest which is located in Gujarat, a state of India. Dung Forest is usually located in the laps of western Ghats and it's mainly famous for its dense bamboo forest and for its wildlife where we can see leopards, deers and other such endemic species which are only seen in Dung Forest and this forest ends in a very famous hill station called the Saputara Hill Station. So I would like to visit this forest and after my travel through this forest, I will reach the Saputara Hill Station and I have to experience this very beautiful way that the sunlight filters gently through the thick canopy casting golden patterns on the forest floor and the air is fresh filled with earthy scent of leaves and wood and the place will feel untouched and calm like a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered. So apart from this, this Dung Forest is also famous for certain waterfalls like Gira Falls, Sirvani Falls, Devgat Falls and I have heard a lot about these picnic spots from my friends who were my fellow mates during my graduations from Navzari Agricultural University located in the southern district of Gujarat.

    While I am a nature lover and a mountain lover, as I like the sense of accomplishments that I get when I finish my treks, there is one particular place which lies in the heart of Himachal Pradesh that I prefer going the most, which is city of Krihan. It is a small town, but filled with love and serene views. I have been there multiple times, but the best experience was when I went there in the month of July as it was rainy season and it was lush green all around. I took an overnight bus from New Delhi. While I was sleeping for the most part of the journey, when I woke up in the morning for a tea break, my eyes were mesmerized by the views. I was surrounded by green mountains all over and in every direction wherever my eye could reach. I reached to the base camp and rested for 2 days, getting acclimatized by the weather of the city. And on the day 3, my trek began early in the night, somewhere around 2 am. It took us 3 hours of constant walking for a 2 km hike for witnessing the one of the best sunrise that a person can see in their lifetime. It was lush green all around and from the horizon I could see the red sun coming up as every second went by. We enjoyed some traditional food there as well because it was cold at the peak and we brought some tea and Maggi noodles there. We ate it and then went to the hot springs which is the second reason why Grahan is famous for. It felt like a natural rehab, digital detox and the meditation and reflecting on myself is something that I never get to experience somewhere else.

    One place with a lot of trees that I would love to visit is the Bluff Forest in Germany. It is a huge, decent forest in the southwest of the country, famous for its evergreen trees, scenic hiking trails, and ferry trails and mostly. I first heard about it when I read some German fairy tales as a child, because many of them were inspired by this forest. And in March, walking through the tiled pine trees, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the sounds of nature would be very peaceful and relaxing. Another reason I would love to go there is because it is quite different from my home city, which is very urban and crowded with hardly any large green space. Visiting the Bluff Forest would give me a chance to disconnect from my busy life and connect with nature. I think spending time surrounded by trees would help me feel calm and refreshed, so hopefully one day I can go there and explore it in person.

    One place with a lot of trees that I would really like to visit is the Amazon Rainforest in South America. It is located mostly in Brazil and is known as the largest tropical rainforest in the world. I first heard about it in a documentary I watched on TV and I have been fascinated by it ever since. I have read that Amazon is home of millions of species of plants, animals and insects, many of which can't be found anywhere else on earth. The forest is incredible and it plays a huge role in producing oxygen for the planet which is why it is often called the lungs of earth. The main reason I want to go there is because I love nature and adventure. Being surrounded by tall trees, exotic animals and rivers would be both exciting and peaceful. It's a place that shows the true beauty of the natural world.

    I currently reside in Pune, Maharashtra and Maharashtra is surrounded by Shyadri mountain range. So in the monsoon season there is a lot of greenery. All the mountains are filled with lush green forests and it's actually a pretty great place for trekking and hike lovers. I went to multiple hikes in the same year I relocated to Pune and it's almost amazing to the eyes and the greenery is so pleasant. When you hike you feel in touch with the nature. I went with my friends. It was so beautiful. All the greenery and all the waterfalls that were originating from multiple regions because of the rain. There are multiple viewpoints also built for the same and many places are commercialized so we can enjoy some food and local snacks as well. So yeah, Pune is a delight for trekking and monsoon lovers because of its lush green forest in this monsoon season.

    A place with a lot of trees that I would love to visit is the Redwood National and State Parks in Northern California, USA. This initiating forest is home to some of the world's tallest trees, the Coastal Redwoods. I would want to visit this place to experience the majesty of these natural wonders and connect with nature. Upon visiting, I plan to engage in various activities such as hiking through the misty forest, bird watching, and photography. I would also like to take a guided tour to learn about the unique ecosystems and conversation efforts in place to protect and increbility trees. Being surrounded by the towering redwoods would make me feel ever-struck and humbled. The tranquility of the forest, the sound of leaves rustling, and the scent of damp earth would create a sense of glam and seniority. I imagine feeling connected to the natural world and inspired by the resilience and beauty of these ancient trees. The experience would leave me feeling refreshed, revitalized, and grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in such an extraordinary environment. The Redwood National and State Parks would be an unforgettable destination, allowing me to recharge and develop a deeper appreciation for nature's splendor.

    I want to visit this place because it's an incredible rich biodiversity. There are thousands of species of planets, animals and birds. They can't be found anywhere else. I have always been fascinated by nature and the idea of exploring such a slush. Green and wild environment really excites me. If I get a chance to go there, I would love to take a guided jungle trip to learn more about the unique plants and wildlife. I would also like to go on a boat ride along the Amazon river and maybe even stay in the eco lodge to experience the forest closely but sustainably. I think visiting the Amazon would make me feel peaceful and amazed. Being surrounded by such natural beauty would give me a break from the city life and I believe it would be a life changing and refreshing experience that connects me more with the environment.

    Good evening ma'am. Today I am going to talk about a topic. Describe a place with a lot of trees that you would like to visit. Well, I am very much interested to speak about this topic because this is related to travelling. Travelling is my favourite hobby and I want to visit New Zealand because it is one of the very few countries which preserve greenery and there is no apartment culture literally. It is one of the places in my bucket list. I want to do skydiving there because it has one of the world's highest skydiving location at Fox Glacier which is about 18,000 feet and there I want to do the South Island first. New Zealand is separated into two different islands, the North and South among which the South Island is very famous. There I want to hire a car and travel around the coastal areas of South Island for about a week. So, I have already booked my flight. I am planning to go in coming October and I will go for a month and I have already booked a car as well, a Toyota Prius and I will be going with my partner and this is one of my dream trips and I feel it is going to be exciting because this is the first trip I am going with my partner and she is also very much interested to join me in this trip. We have travelled almost 12 countries together but this is going to be one of the best experiences because New Zealand is also her favourite country and finally we got a chance to go in this upcoming trip.
