Writing
In this unit you have learned some new language to help you talk and write about the USA. You are going to use this language to discuss a Chinese city, province or zone and then write a group text about it.
Here are some tips to help you with writing:
如何写描述地点的说明文
1.描写某地的景色或景观时,一般要遵循的原则是:从总体到局部,从外到内。
2.这类文章一般包括三段:开头是总体介绍,引出主题;中间是正文,具体介绍此地的特色,如著名的建筑、风景名胜等;第三部分是结尾。
3.描写某地的短文属于说明文体,要弄清时间的立足点是“过去”“现在”,还是“将来”。
4.表达方式要有所变化,景物描写用词容易重复、单调,因此写作时应选用不同的句式和表达方式来描述事物,使表达方式多样化。
