16. Model Answer

Last year, I traveled to Portugal with a friend. We stayed in Lisbon for a week.

One afternoon, we were walking around the city when we saw a beautiful old building. We decided to stop and take some photos.

While we were taking pictures, it suddenly started raining. We ran into a small café and waited there for about thirty minutes.

Later, we continued exploring the city. We visited several interesting places and tried some traditional Portuguese food.

The trip was fantastic. The best part was discovering the city on foot. I'd definitely go back.

27. Storytelling Model

Two years ago, I was traveling around Italy with a friend. One afternoon, we were walking through a small town when we suddenly realized that we didn't know where we were.

While we were looking at the map, we saw a local man who offered to help us. He explained how to get back to the city center.

We followed his directions, but we took the wrong street again. Eventually, we found a small restaurant and asked for help.

The experience was stressful at first, but it became one of the funniest memories of the trip.
