Band 9.0 Sample Answer Ideas.
• My sister and I have always liked going on road journeys.
• India is a big country and there are so many places one can visit.
• So, my parents used to take us to different places in India by car when we were young.
• One such time, when we were visiting Delhi, we got lost.
• Actually, we were visiting all the famous places in Delhi and eating out at all the renowned
places.
• That’s what we used to do on our road trips, especially the famous food shops, we never
missed one.
• And there was this famous chhole-bhature shop, which was famous not only in Delhi, but all
over India.
• Unfortunately, it opened at 5 AM for only two hours in the morning and it sold out in that
time.
• To add to it, this place was about two hours from our hotel.
• So, we started during the night at 3AM, because both my sister and I didn’t want to miss it.
• About two hours later, we were in the middle of nowhere.
• I don’t know what happened, but I think somewhere my Dad took a wrong turn
• These were the times, when google maps weren’t there.
• We couldn’t just put it in google maps and find out where we were.
• The only ways to know about one’s location and the direction was asking people and looking
at road signs.
• And it was dark and foggy, so the roads were empty and road signs were not visible.
• At one point, my dad just got off the car and tried to find any landmark to make sense of where we were.
• But there was nothing but trees on either side of the road
• We were lost.
• So, we just sat there, for another hour for the sun the rise and for the visibility to improve.
• When it did, some people came out on the roads for morning walk and finally we were able to find out where we were.
• Fortunately, we weren’t that far from the shop.
• We had just crossed it along the way by mistake.
• We went back and enjoyed the delicious chhole-bhature.
• If I had to describe their taste- I would just say they were worth getting lost.
• For even now, when I plan to visit Delhi, I always visit that place.
