示范答案:
I’d like to talk about the time I visited my aunt in her countryside home last autumn.
First, who I visited and where they lived—I visited my father’s older sister, Aunt Mei, who lives in a small village in southern Anhui Province, China. Her house is a traditional courtyard home surrounded by rice fields and bamboo groves.
Then, why I made this visit—it was her 50th birthday, and the whole family decided to gather at her place to celebrate. I’d been busy with school for months, so I was also looking forward to a break from city life.
As for what happened during this visit, the day was full of warm moments. When I arrived, Aunt Mei was in the kitchen steaming homemade rice cakes—her specialty. In the afternoon, we walked around the village: she showed me the rice fields (which were golden and ready to harvest) and picked fresh persimmons from the tree in her yard. In the evening, all my cousins and relatives sat around the courtyard table, eating dishes like braised pork and stir-fried wild vegetables, and singing birthday songs for her.
Finally, what I enjoyed about this visit—it was the slow, cozy atmosphere that I loved most. In the city, everything feels fast and noisy, but at Aunt Mei’s home, we had time to chat, taste fresh home-cooked food, and enjoy the quiet countryside scenery. It made me feel connected to my family and reminded me of the simple happiness in daily life.
