    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    One place with a lot of trees that I would like to visit is Yakushima Island in Japan. It's famous for its ancient Exedar forest, some of which are thousands of years old. The island has a mystical, almost otherworldly feel too because the trees are covered in the moss. I haven't been there yet because I've read and seen pictures of Yakushima's beautiful hiking trail and the famous Jomon Sugi. The reason I am fascinated by this place is because it seems untouched by time, like something out of a fairy tale. The idea of walking among such ancient trees feels both peaceful and humbling. I also love being surrounded by greenery and this forest is one of the greenest and most beautiful places I can imagine. The place also has been around for 2000 years old. If I go there, I would definitely like to explore the forest trails and maybe take some pictures and photographs for myself for the memories and souvenirs to look back. Yakushima Island in Japan has been on my bucket list because of its rich heritage and the greenery has always...

    I think I would really like to visit the Amazon forest as it is the largest forest there is. It has plenty of exotic wildlife and variety of species of trees and other flora. I think that I would really like to go for a jungle safari sort of experience. Furthermore, I would also want to hike over there and visit the lakes and rivers that run by it. And perhaps indulgence in camping as I feel the stars at night would be just lovely. I really feel that it would be a great experience to have. Moreover, the adrenaline rush would just be exhilarating. And it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to just do something like that. I feel I would like to go with some of my friends soon before I am too old for it.

    A place I know which has a lot of trees I can imagine and I know is Jim Corbett which is situated in Nainital, Uttarakhand. I have visited there when I was in my school probably in 8th standard. So it is a national park reserve where a huge forest has been conserved and there are small hotels which are made into the national park. So we had a stay there for 2-3 days and we had done much more activities but we could not cover up the whole area at that time. So nowadays due to work hectic and lot of stress I am lately feeling I should visit there again and complete all those other activities which I missed last time and also I need some time for relaxation so visiting there and keeping my mind cool for some time would be a great idea and if we think the facilities they provide over there are much more soothing like they have spa days and various activities which keeps our body and mind calm.

    India is a diverse country with many beautiful places such as rivers, mountains, beaches but here I would like to describe one such place which I have never visited but I have listened it. The place name is the Safari Forest which is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The forest is situated in 100 hectares. Inside the forest, the trees are very big and all kinds of trees are available from bushes to long trees. In addition, all the birds, all the different kinds of birds and animals are there. They had made their home in the jungle. I have listened this from one of my friend who recently visited the forest. She told me that there is a time limit to visit the forest because due to the safety purpose. So, this is the place that I want to visit with my family to explore the forest life how animals and birds live there and hunt for their food. I feel like it will be a great experience for me because as I am a nature enthusiastic person, I believe that I will enjoy it more.
