Sample Answer (≈300 words):

A place near my current home in Gaidakot, Nawalpur, where I like to spend time is the riverbank of the Narayani River. It is about ten minutes away from my house and is easily accessible on foot or by bicycle.

I usually visit this place in the early morning or late evening. When I am there, I enjoy walking along the riverbank while watching the flowing water and the surrounding natural scenery. Sometimes, I sit quietly on a rock, listen to soft music, or simply observe people passing by. On weekends, I also go there with friends, where we talk about life, future plans, and current issues. Occasionally, I take photos of the river and the sunset, which I find very relaxing.

I go to this place three to four times a week, especially when I feel stressed or mentally tired. Even a short visit makes me feel refreshed and calm.

I like this place mainly because it offers a peaceful and natural environment away from traffic noise and daily pressure. The sound of the river and the fresh air help me clear my mind and improve my concentration. Moreover, spending time there has become a healthy habit that supports both my physical and mental well-being. In today’s fast-paced life, such natural places are extremely important, and that is why this riverbank is one of my favorite places to spend time.
