Model answer: 


Last year, I visited the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Vietnam. This historical building is a temple dedicated to Confucius. It was built in the year 1070 and is a significant cultural site in Vietnam.

The temple is located in the central area of Hanoi. It's famous for its beautiful traditional Vietnamese architecture, lovely gardens, and peaceful atmosphere.

I visited the Temple of Literature during my holiday in spring. The weather was pleasant, and it allowed me to enjoy the serenity of the place fully.

After visiting, I felt very impressed and moved. The temple made me appreciate the rich history and culture of Vietnam. Walking through the ancient buildings and looking at the detailed carvings, I felt connected to the past. It was a meaningful experience that made me feel proud of my heritage.
