Possible Answer:
The country that I have always wanted to go but have not visited yet is Italy. I've been dreaming to visit Italy for more than 2-3 years. I'll definitely visit the country as soon as my graduation is complete. Italy is in Southern Europe. Rome, the largest city and the Capital of Italy has been the leading political and religious centre of the western civilization, serving as the capital of the both Roman Empire and the Christianity. I'd like to go there to see the museums, arts, streets, cultural and other attractions. Another reason I want to go there is to visit the Vatican City. I have read and heard about numerous stories and history about this country and witnessing them would be a great joy for me. There are plenty of things to see: arts, museums, Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pissa, Roman Forum, Florence Cathedral, St. Peter's Basilica, Milan Cathedral, Sistine Chapel, Piazza SanMarco, Circus Maximux and lots of other places I'd love to visit.

Italy was one of the most advanced territories once and had lots of historically significant places to visit. I've read about those places so many times and heard stories from many of my friends that visiting this country has become a major wish for me. And I'm pretty positive about visiting this country in next year.

Tips for answering this cue card topic:

Think of a country you know about. Now say that this is the country you have never been to. In reality you may have visited Vietnam, India, and Australia but have never been to Russia. But if you know very little about Russia, and say that you have never been to Russia, you would be in a difficult position to tell about this country. Rather you should pick a county you know about and the examiner is not going to check your passport if you have really been there or not!

State the face that you have read about this country, heard about this country and seen in TV about this country but have never been to. You MUST NOT pick your own country as an answer for this cue card.
