Back in Guam
It was during the summer season of the year 2007 when I first visited the island of Guam; A U.S. external territory. Guam is a very beautiful place that its tourist spots and clear blue water made me say that it’s one of the mosTtbeautiful places I’ve been to. Its beaches and weather makes it much like the cleaner version of the Philippines. Cebu, to be specific. It is definitely a place for everyone specially for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Once I got out of the plane after a 3 hour flight from Manila I was shocked to see a lot of Filipinos in the airport not knowing that most of them are “Chamorros”, the native people of Guam. One thing I really like about Guam is its small area where you can even roam around the whole island for a day. Guam has so much difference from the U.S. mainland due to its peacefulness and different culture. It is the perfect place for vacations and an ideal spot to relax, enjoy and to take a break from all the tedious works. It has very exquisite tourist spots that will bring chills to your spine.
One of the must see tourist spots in Guam is the Two Lover’s Point that has a very romantic atmosphere located at Tumon Bay. It is a spectacular cliff line where you can take a journey back into the history of ancient Chamorro romance. Behind it is a legendary story about a forbidden love that even death can’t break it a part. There you will see the view of Guam that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
If you want to experience the touch of a different world, Underwater world is there to bring you the extravagant life in the sea. It is an aquarium that is immersed with 800, 000 gallons of water where you can explore the various realms of the sea. At night it is transformed in a unique experience where you can enjoy good music blend with exotic cocktails that will make it the best night in your lifetime.
Diving into the deep clear azure water of Guam will even make you gain friendship with the beautiful fishes in the sea. Another place to go to is the Fish Eye Marine Park where you can experience being inside a ship 50 feet under water. You will meet and get to interact with the emperor angelfish, picassofish, parrotfish, sea turtle and a lot more sea friends. There you can go bomb-hole snorkeling, watch a dolphin and a Polynesian show with a great dinner together with your loved ones.
Experience a jungle tour at
Talofofo Falls Resort Park. It reminds me of a lot of places in the
Philippines. If you’re seeking for great adventures, the suspension bridge is there as well as the ghost house. At the park you can do outdoor shooting and fly back to the history of Guam due to its historical museums and places that plays a significant memory in the history of
Guam. Like any other park it also has rides such as the turn around chair and child train.
Guam is the place to learn, laugh, enjoy, and explore. I will never forget the days I spent with
Guam and how it changed my life into a better one. There I found the true meaning of paradise and found the essence of exploring the greatness that life has to offer.
Guam is one of the places I fall in loved with. It is my ideal place to live in. It’s beauty and peacefulness will always remain in me.
Hi
After reading your essay, i’d say this work deserves a grade of 57/60 for the following reasons:
It’s good that this piece has limited itself in funneling the information for readers. I think your style has a personal touch to it. Interweaving personal experience and intricate description, you’re piece is very much an ideal text for those who haven’t visited Guam. Good work!
In order to be clear on the basis for rating check out the attachment ENGLCOM writing scale for the descriptions. Good work and I’m sure you’ll get better at the succeeding tasks. I’ve also included the original essay with my comments in parenthesis for clarification.
Best,
