I would try to use attractive descriptive words, such as lush or shining, something to captivate their memory. If I had any good stories to tell about the place I would want to focus on those, since stories make them imagine themselves in that place and situation, possibly making them want to go. Finally, I’d show them any pictures that I took to really capitalize on the beauty or charm of the place I’m talking about.
Instead!
The word instead implies that what was said before or after (depending on context) does not apply to something. For example:
“Instead of washing the dishes, I did the laundry...” means that someone did laundry instead of washing the dishes. Instead of connecting ideas, it separates them!
A sentence that has two or more main clauses and one or more subordinate clauses is called a compound-complex sentence. For example, Jessie reads novels, and Lucas reads poetry, but Gordon reads magazines because novels and poetry are difficult to comprehend. "Jessie reads novels", "Lucas reads poetry", and "Gordon reads magazines" are the independent clauses, while "because novels and poetry are difficult to comprehend" is the dependent clause.
