问题 Write a description of your hometown.
选项
答案 My Hometown My hometown used to be as bare as a picked bone, with no tree anywhere around it larger than a ten-foot willow or alder. Now it is a grove. My memory gropes uneasily, trying to establish itself among fifty-foot cottonwoods, lilac and honeysuckle hedges and flower gardens. Searched for, plenty of familiarities are there: the Pastime Theater, identical with the one that sits across Main Street from the firehouse in my mind; the lumber yard where we used to get cloth caps advertising De Laval Cream Separators; two or three hardware stores (a prairie wheat town specializes in hardware stores), though each one now has a lot full of farm machinery next to it; the hotel, just as it was rebuilt after the fire; the bank, now remodeled into the post, office; the Presbyterian church, now United, and the Leader office, and the square brick prison of the school, now with three smaller prisons added to it. These are old acquaintances that I can check against their replicas in my head and take satisfaction from. But among them are the evidences of Progress-hospital, Masonic Lodge, at least one new elevator, a big Quonset-like skating rink—and all tree-shaded, altered, and distorted, and made vaguely disturbing by greenery. In the old days we all used to try to grow trees, transplanting them from the Hills or getting them free with any two-dollar purchase from one of the stores, but they always dried up and died. To me, who came expecting a dusty hamlet, the change is charming, but memory has been fixed by time as photographs fix the faces of the dead, and this reality is dreamlike. I cannot find myself or my family or my companions in it.
解析     要求写一篇描写文。首先，我们要清楚在多数情况下，地点描写是为了给所描述的人物和事件建立一种突出的感受和氛围，从而揭示所描写的人物个性以及所处的特定情景。地点描写的方法因人而异，因文章而异，可以为空间顺序，由远到近或由近到远，由左到右或由右到左，由上到下或由下到上，也可以事件为顺序。从应试的角度出发，文章的主题思想句，如：My hometown used to be as bare as a picked bone，with no tree anywhere around it larger than a ten—foot willow or alder．来描述家乡过去的情况。紧接着我们可以在使用Now it is a grove．My memory gropes uneasily，trying to establish itself among fifty—foot cottonwoods，lilac and honeysuckle hedges and flower gardens．来描述家乡现在的状况。尽力选择最能打动人之处和最富感染力之处。
