Step 3.Writing
本单元的写作任务是介绍地点。写此类文章需要注意以下几点：
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。要弄清时间的立足点是“过去”“现在”还是“将来”。
2.一般包括三段：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.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来描述事物，使表达方式多样化。
介绍某个地方的概况，属于说明文，正文内容应具备说明文的 语言特点。人称以第三人称为主，时态以一般现在时为主。
地方介绍类的文章可以围绕一个地方的地理位置、面积、人口、气候、语言、历史文化、旅游景点、特色小吃等方面进行描述。写作时不一定面面俱到，可根据具体的写作要求和目的，选择某些方面来介绍。
