Articles describing a place
An article describing a place can be found in a tourist magazine or brochure, in a letter, on a website etc. They usually consist of:
an introduction identifying the place, the location and the reason for choosing the place.
a main body (2-3 paragraphs) describing the main aspects of the place e.g. what it looks like, what you can see/do there, the atmosphere, why you like it, etc in separate paragraphs.
a conclusion including your final comments/feelings about the place and/or a recommendation.
You should use present tenses for a description of a place. Past tenses are used to write about historical facts or actions in the past.
To make your description more interesting and/or vivid:
use a wide variety of adjectives and adverbs e.g.
Relaxed shoppers wonder lazily along the street looking tor souvenirs.
use the senses (hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch)
e.g. Walking through the pork, the scent of the beautiful pink blossom trees is all around (smell). The air is filled with the sound of horsestask hooves on the cobbled streets (hefting); At night, spotlights light up the beautiful buildings (sight) etc.
use past participles to join two sentences, e.g. The castle is surrounded by large, well maintained gardens. Ittasks perfect for picnics. Surrounded by large, well maintained grounds, the castle is perfect for picnics
use prepositional phrases (all around, at the top of, as far as, above. etc) to describe static features and verbs (flow, run. curve, etc) to describe moving features, e.g. The fields of sunflowers stretch as far as the eye can see. The winding river flows gently through the village.
