Answer in Brief
Advertisements

Solution

The most memorable journey I have enjoyed is the train journey towards Mumbai. It is a three-day journey from Tirunelveli. During last summer vacation, with my parents. I went by train, I was able to learn about the different cultures and languages of the people. A college student was seated across he engaged me in a lively conversation.
They were from Chennai and talked about their purpose of visit.

I had an occasion to have a chat with a few Hindi – speaking people. They were very polite and kind to me. I was extremely ’ happy when the train passed through Mumbai, where I bought delicious apples. Though I could not understand Hindi, I talked with them in Tamil. They gave me nice apples and I gave them some money that pleased him. At the end of the second day, we reached Mumbai. The journey broadened my knowledge about our country.
