featurestory

In eighteen thirty, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnati, Ohio, lay a huge and almost endless forest.The area had a few settlements established by people of the frontier. Many of them had already left the area for settlements further to the west. But among those remaining was a man who had been one of the first people to arrive there.He lived alone in a house of logs surrounded on all sides by the great forest. He seemed a part of the darkness and silence of the forest, for no one had ever known him to smile or speak an unnecessary word. His simple needs were supplied by selling or trading the skins of wild animals in the town.His little log house had a single door. Directly opposite was a window. The window was boarded up. No one could remember a time when it was not. And no one knew why it had been closed. I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the secret of that window. But I am one, as you shall see.The man's name was said to be Murlock. He appeared to be seventy years old, but he was really fifty. Something other than years had been the cause of his aging.His hair and long, full beard were white. His gray, lifeless eyes were sunken. His face was wrinkled. He was tall and thin with drooping shoulders—like someone with many problems.I never saw him. These details I learned from my grandfather. He told me the man's story when I was a boy. He had known him when living nearby in that early day.One day Murlock was found in his cabin, dead. It was not a time and place for medical examiners and newspapers. I suppose it was agreed that he had died from natural causes or I should have been told, and should remember.I know only that the body was buried near the cabin, next to the burial place of his wife. She had died so many years before him that local tradition noted very little of her existence.That closes the final part of this true story, except for the incident that followed many years later. With a fearless spirit I went to the place and got close enough to the ruined cabin to throw a stone against it. I ran away to avoid the ghost which every well-informed boy in the area knew haunted the spot.But there is an earlier part to this story supplied by my grandfather.When Murlock built his cabin he was young, strong and full of hope. He began the hard work of creating a farm. He kept a gun--a rifle—for hunting to support himself.He had married a young woman, in all ways worthy of his honest love and loyalty. She shared thedangers of life with a willing spirit and a light heart. There is no known record of her name or details about her. They loved each other and were happy.One day Murlock returned from hunting in a deep part of the forest. He found his wife sick with fever and confusion. There was no doctor or neighbor within miles. She was in no condition to be left alone while he went to find help. So Murlock tried to take care of his wife and return her to good health. But at the end of the third day she fell into unconsciousness and died.From what we know about a man like Murlock, we may try to imagine some of the details of the story told by my grandfather.When he was sure she was dead, Murlock had sense enough to remember that the dead must be prepared for burial. He made a mistake now and again while performing this special duty. He did certain things wrong. And others which he did correctly were done over and over again.He was surprised that he did not cry — surprised and a little ashamed. Surely it is unkind not to cry for the dead."Tomorrow," he said out loud, "I shall have to make the coffin and dig the grave; and then I shall miss her, when she is no longer in sight. But now -- she is dead, of course, but it is all right — it must be all right, somehow. Things cannot be as bad as they seem."He stood over the body of his wife in the disappearing light. He fixed the hair and made finishing touches to the rest. He did all of this without thinking but with care. And still through his mind ran a feeling that all was right -- that he should have her again as before, and everything would be explained.Murlock had no experience in deep sadness. His heart could not contain it all. His imagination could not understand it. He did not know he was so hard struck. That know ledge would come later and never leave.Deep sadness is an artist of powers that affects people in different ways. To one it comes like the stroke of an arrow, shocking all the emotions to a sharper life. To another, it comes as the blow of a crushing strike. We may believe Murlock to have been affected that way.Soon after he had finished his work he sank into a chair by the side of the table upon which the body lay. He noted how white his wife's face looked in the deepening darkness. He laid his arms upon the table's edge and dropped his face into them, tearless and very sleepy.At that moment a long, screaming sound came in through the open window. It was like the cry of a lost child in the far deep of the darkening forest! But the man did not move. He heard that unearthly cry upon his failing sense, again and nearer than before. Maybe it was a wild animal or maybe it was a dream. For Murlock was asleep.Some hours later, he awoke, lifted his head from his arms and listened closely. He knew not w hy. There in the black darkness by the side of the body, he remembered everything without a shock. He strained his eyes to see -- he knew not what.His senses were all alert. His breath was suspended. His blood was still as if to assist the silence. Who — what had awakened him and where was it!Suddenly the table shook under his arms. At the same time he heard, or imagined he heard, a light, soft step and then another. The sounds were as bare feet walking upon the floor!He was afraid beyond the power to cry out or move. He waited—waited there in the darkness through what seemed like centuries of such fear. Fear as one may know, but yet live to tell. He tried but failed to speak the dead woman's name. He tried but failed to stretch his hand across the table to learn if she was there. His throat was powerless. His arms and hands were like lead.Then something most frightful happened. It seemed as if a heavy body was thrown against the table with a force that pushed against his chest. At the same time he heard and felt the fall of something upon the floor. It was so violent a crash that the whole house shook. A fight followed and a confusion of sounds impossible to describe.Murlock had risen to his feet. Extreme fear had caused him to lose control of his senses. He threw his hands upon the table. Nothing was there!There is a point at which fear may turn to insanity; and insanity incites to action. With no definite plan and acting like a madman, Murlock ran quickly to the wall. He seized his loaded rifle and without aim fired it.The flash from the rifle lit the room with a clear brightness. He saw a huge fierce panther dragging the dead woman toward the window. The wild animal's teeth were fixed on her throat! Then there was darkness blacker than before, and silence.When he returned to consciousness the sun was high and the forest was filled with the sounds of singing birds. The body lay near the window, where the animal had left it when frightened away by the light and sound of the rifle.The clothing was ruined. The long hair was in disorder. The arms and legs lay in a careless way. And a pool of blood flowed from the horribly torn throat. The ribbon he had used to tie the wrists was broken. The hands were tightly closed.And between the teeth was a piece of the animal's ear.Guo jingjing The 26-year-old made her Olympicdebut at the age of 15, and is likely to end herdiving career after China's first ever OlympicGames in 2008.After experiencing many ups and downsthroughout her career, Guo Jingjing will hope tostage a fitting finale in 2008."Diving attracts me, just because I like it. I like thefeeling of taking off from the board, and plunginginto the water. Because this is what I'm good at. Ifelt tha t somersaulting is the only thing I can do. "For someone who says somersaulting is the onlything she can do, Guo Jingjing has made a prettysuccessful career out of it.Diving has been Guo's specialty for 18 years, transforming her from an innocent girl into a sports super star.She doesn't get bored with the training, but instead, she loves the springboard and is clearly never happier than when plunging into the water.Audiences may be most familiar with her triumphs on the 3-me ter springboard. But it's her failures that Guo Jingjing has turned into a certain kind of confidence.Guo Jingjing, Diving World Champion, said, "I'm not afraid to lose. Because I have experienced it before. So what if you lost? I'm still Guo Jingjing even I lost. I won't become anybody else. Even I did win, I'm also still Guo Jingjing. There are always wins and losses during competition. I'm not some fairy goddess. It's normal to lose. Why should I be afraid of failure? If you start to be afraid about something, you will never succeed. You want to win? You can never be afraid."Feature Stories1.

• Introduction • Characteristics of feature stories • Different Kinds of Feature Stories
Introduction of feature story
• The feature pattern is another common pattern in newspaper writing. Feature is used mainly to apply to a story that is based wholly on human interest---the story that falls somewhere between the straight news and the pure fiction. In other words, the incidents and persons involved in feature stories are real, not created, are facts, not fiction, though many techniques used in fiction writing can be found in features. • A straight news story is often tied to something that has just happened---it is immediate in time. But a feature story gives the news reporter a chance to write about something that has developed gradually over time, such as a trend or a change in society or the economy.

用英语介绍朋友六年级的作文第4单元全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Title: All About Unit 4 - A Journey Through Stories!Hey there, fellow bookworms and story lovers! I'm so excited to tell you all about Unit 4 in our sixth-grade English composition book. Get ready to embark on an incredible adventure through the magical world of stories!Unit 4 is all about exploring different types of narratives and learning how to craft our own captivating tales. From fairy tales to fables, and from myths to legends, we'll dive deep into the enchanting realm of storytelling.First up, we'll learn about fairy tales – those magical stories filled with princes and princesses, talking animals, and often a wicked villain or two. Who doesn't love a good fairy tale? We'll read classic tales like "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" and discover the hidden meanings and life lessons they teach us.Next, we'll venture into the world of fables – those short stories that feature animals as the main characters and alwayshave a moral or lesson at the end. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? That's a fable, and we'll read many more like it, exploring the valuable lessons they impart.Then, we'll delve into the fascinating realm of myths and legends. These are the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, often explaining the origins of natural phenomena or the founding of ancient civilizations. We'll learn about the mighty Greek gods like Zeus and Athena, and the brave heroes like Hercules and Perseus who faced incredible challenges.But Unit 4 isn't just about reading stories – it's also about learning how to craft our very own narratives! We'll learn the essential elements of storytelling, such as setting, characters, plot, conflict, and resolution. We'll practice creating vivid descriptions that transport readers to the worlds we imagine, and we'll learn how to develop compelling characters that leap off the page.One of the most exciting parts of Unit 4 is the opportunity to write our own short stories! We'll start by brainstorming ideas and developing outlines, and then we'll dive into the writing process. We'll learn how to hook readers with anattention-grabbing opening, how to build suspense and tensionthroughout the story, and how to craft a satisfying conclusion that leaves readers feeling fulfilled.But wait, there's more! Unit 4 also introduces us to the wonderful world of poetry. We'll explore different forms of poetry, such as haikus, limericks, and free verse. We'll learn how to use figurative language like similes and metaphors to add depth and beauty to our words.And if that wasn't enough, we'll also get to try our hand at writing our own poems! Whether you prefer rhyming verses or free-flowing lines, this unit will give you the tools and inspiration to express your thoughts and feelings through the art of poetry.Throughout Unit 4, we'll also learn about the importance of editing and revising our work. We'll practice giving and receiving constructive feedback, and we'll learn how to polish our stories and poems to perfection.So, are you ready to embark on this incredible journey through the world of stories? Unit 4 promises to be an adventure filled with magic, imagination, and the power of words. Get your pencils ready, and let's start writing!篇2Unit 4 - A Whole New WorldWow, Unit 4 in our English textbook was really exciting! It was all about exploring new places and experiencing different cultures around the world. As a 6th grader, I couldn't wait to learn about all the fascinating countries, customs, and adventures waiting for us.The unit started off by introducing us to the concept of travel and tourism. We learned that tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world, with millions of people visiting different countries every year. It was mind-blowing to discover how many jobs and businesses rely on travel and tourism!Our first lesson was all about planning a trip. We had to research a country, figure out the best time to visit based on weather and events, make a budget for expenses, and decide what sights we wanted to see. I chose to plan a trip to Japan because I've always been fascinated by their unique culture and advanced technology.Doing this project made me realize how much work goes into planning even a simple vacation. You have to book flights and accommodations, get travel insurance and visas if needed, research transportation options, make an itinerary...it's a lot tothink about! But it also got me really excited about one day traveling to amazing places.The next few lessons covered different modes of transportation used for travel. We learned about airlines, cruise ships, trains, buses, and more. My favorite was the section on airplanes because they just seem so high-tech and fascinating. I was amazed by how many safety features and navigation systems planes have to get people safely around the world.We also studied international airports and how to navigate them, like checking in, going through security, finding your gate, and claiming baggage. I didn't realize airports were so gigantic and had so many rules! It made me grateful for the helpful staff that assist travelers.Part of the unit talked about the different types of travelers - business, leisure, adventure, eco-tourists, and more. I decided I want to be an adventure traveler when I grow up so I can go exploring jungles, hiking mountains, and seeing exotic wildlife up close. Just imagine encountering a tiger in India or climbing an ice castle in Antarctica! The adventures seem endless.We spent a few lessons learning about different cultures and how to respectfully experience them as tourists. This was my favorite part because I love learning about the customs, food,arts, and history of other societies. Did you know in Japan it's rude to stick your chopsticks vertically into a rice bowl? Or that in Tanzania, you're supposed to present gifts with both hands?Little cultural details like that fascinate me. I want to be sure to always be respectful when traveling so I don't accidentally offend anyone. Some of my classmates got a bit frustrated with having to learn etiquette for every new place, but I think it's important to be an ethical traveler.Towards the end of the unit, our teacher had us do small group projects about a particular custom or attraction from the culture we wanted to visit. My group did a presentation on the amazing Japanese shrines and temples with their beautiful pagodas and gardens. We talked about their history and the ways to properly visit them, like removing shoes and being quiet.The final unit test had us plan out a whole two-week trip to a country we chose, including making an itinerary, budget, and packing list. I opted to do my dream trip to Australia so I could see the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Opera House, Outback, and all the crazy wildlife there. I spent hours designing my perfect vacation Down Under!Overall, I absolutely loved Unit 4 in our English book. I had no idea how much thoughtful preparation and cultural sensitivitygoes into being a good traveler. But after doing all the projects and lessons, I feel much more prepared to one day journey around the world.My biggest takeaway is that travel and tourism isn't just about hopping on a plane to a new place. It's about respectfully experiencing the lifestyles, foods, customs and natural wonders that make every culture on our planet unique. With an open mind and ethical approach, we can use travel to better understand each other and the incredible diversity of human civilization.I can't wait until I'm old enough to start checking off destinations on my bucket list! The world is an amazing place full of surprises, and thanks to Unit 4, I have a much better appreciation for what it takes to explore it responsibly. Maybe I'll even get to use these skills for a class trip sometime soon. A guy can dream, right? Until then, happy travels!篇3Unit 4: Exploring PerspectivesHey there! I'm excited to tell you all about Unit 4 in our 6th grade writing class. This unit is called "Exploring Perspectives" and it's going to be a blast! We're going to learn how to look atthings from different points of view and express those viewpoints through our writing.In the first lesson, our teacher Ms. Roberts taught us that every story has multiple perspectives. She gave us an example about a boy taking a cookie from the cookie jar. From the boy's perspective, he was just really hungry and the cookies looked delicious. But from his mom's perspective, he took a cookie without asking permission. The same event, but two totally different ways of looking at it!Ms. Roberts said that being able to understand and communicate different perspectives is a super important skill, not just for writing but for life in general. If we can put ourselves in someone else's shoes and see things how they see them, it helps us have more empathy and get along better with others.For our first writing assignment, we had to take a familiar story like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and rewrite it from another character's point of view. I chose to rewrite it from the perspective of the Three Bears' house! It was weird at first, but once I imagined how a house might see and experience things, it was actually really fun. My house got pretty angry when this rude blondie broke in and started messing everything up.Next, we learned about developing dynamic characters with complex perspectives. Ms. Roberts said flat, one-dimensional characters are boring to read about. Good characters aremulti-layered, with unique personalities, backgrounds, and worldviews that shape how they think and act.We had to create comprehensive character profiles, describing a character's physical appearance, personality traits, motivations, goals, background, and most importantly - their perspective on the world around them. How does their culture, family life, and personal experiences impact their values and decision making? I created a character named Jasmine who was passionate about environmentalism because she grew up exploring the forests around her house with her grandfather.For our next assignment, we read a book from two contrasting characters' points of view and analyzed their perspectives. How did their perspectives cause conflict, misunderstanding, or bring them together? I read the book "The Giver" which showed the perspectives of Jonas living in an apparently utopian society, and the Giver who caretook memories of the real pained world before. Their perspectives differed so much at first, but helped each other understand the truth.Learning about perspectives even helped me understand some disagreements I've had with my parents and friends better. Like when my mom nags me about cleaning my room, I used to think she was just being mean. But now I can try to see it from her perspective - she works hard all day and just wants me to be responsible and keep my space tidy. Just realizing her perspective doesn't mean I agree, but it helps me not take it as a personal attack.For the big final project of the unit, we had to write an original story that explored multiple character perspectives in depth. My story was about two owl families living in the same tree - one family who were nocturnal hunters and one family that were vegetarians. At first the predator owls and veggie owls didn't understand each other's lifestyles and disagreed about things like whether catching prey was ethical. But by opening up and learning about each other's backgrounds and reasons for their perspectives, they became friends in the end.Overall, Unit 4 on Exploring Perspectives was my favorite unit so far. I feel like I have much better empathy and understanding now when people see things differently than me. I know good writers show multiple viewpoints in their stories to engage readers and add layers. Most importantly, I've learnedthat every perspective is valid and shaped by individual contexts - and that's pretty awesome if you ask me!篇4Certainly! Here is an essay of around 2,000 words in English, written from the perspective of an elementary school student, introducing Unit 4 of their sixth-grade composition textbook:Unit 4: Exploring the Great OutdoorsHey there, friends! Are you ready to embark on an exciting adventure with me? In the latest unit of our sixth-grade writing class, we're going to explore the wonders of the great outdoors! Get ready to stretch your imagination and put your storytelling skills to the test.First things first, let me give you a quick rundown of what we'll be covering. This unit is all about nature writing – you know, those captivating tales that transport you right into the heart of the wilderness. We'll learn how to craft vivid descriptions that make readers feel like they're standing beside a babbling brook or hiking through a misty forest.But that's not all! We'll also dive into the world of adventure narratives. Imagine writing a thrilling story about your daringcamping trip or that time you got lost in the woods (don't worry, you made it back safely!). These kinds of stories are sure to keep your readers on the edge of their seats.Now, let me give you a sneak peek into some of the cool stuff we'll be learning. First up, we'll explore the art of sensory details. You know those little touches that make a scene come alive? Like the earthy smell of damp leaves underfoot or the way sunlight filters through the canopy of trees? With these techniques, your writing will practically leap off the page!Next, we'll tackle the challenge of creating realistic dialogue. Whether it's the excited chatter of your friends as you set up camp or the hushed whispers as you spot a majestic deer in the distance, dialogue can add so much depth and authenticity to your stories.But wait, there's more! We'll also learn how to structure our narratives in a way that keeps readers hooked from start to finish. It's all about building anticipation, creating suspense, and delivering a satisfying resolution. Trust me, by the end of this unit, you'll be a master storyteller!And let's not forget about the research aspect! To make our nature writing truly shine, we'll learn how to gather information from reliable sources, like field guides and expert interviews.Who knows, you might even get to interview a park ranger or a wildlife enthusiast!Now, I know what you're thinking: "But writing can be so hard!" Don't worry, my friends. Our teacher has some awesome tricks up their sleeve to make the process fun and engaging. We'll play writing games, participate in collaborative activities, and even get to share our work with the class (don't be shy –we're all in this together!).And let's not forget about the field trips! Yes, you read that right – we'll be venturing outdoors to gather inspiration and experience nature firsthand. Imagine sitting by a peaceful lake, jotting down your observations and letting your creativity flow.By the end of this unit, you'll have a collection of amazing nature-inspired stories, poems, and essays to be proud of. Who knows, maybe you'll even discover a newfound passion for writing about the great outdoors!So, what do you say, friends? Are you ready to embark on this adventure with me? Let's grab our notebooks, sharpen our pencils, and get ready to explore the wonders of nature through the power of words. This is going to be an unforgettable journey, and I can't wait to see what amazing stories you'll create!篇5My Friend's 6th Grade Composition Unit 4Hi, my name is Emma, and I'm in 6th grade. I have a friend named Jack who is also in 6th grade, and I want to tell you about the cool stuff he's been learning in his composition class. He's currently working on Unit 4, which is all about descriptive writing.Descriptive writing is where you use lots of details to paint a picture with words. It's like creating a movie in someone's mind without any actual video or images. Jack has been learning different techniques to make his descriptions really vivid and engaging.One of the first things he learned was how to use sensory details. That means describing not just what something looks like, but also what it sounds like, smells like, feels like, and even tastes like (if it's edible, of course!). For example, instead of just saying "the beach was nice," he might write something like:"The warm, golden sand squeaked beneath my feet as I walked along the beach. The salty ocean breeze ruffled my hair, carrying the tangy scent of seaweed. Gulls cawed overhead, their cries mingling with the rhythmic crash of the waves. In thedistance, a family played with a brightly colored beach ball, their laughter drifting on the wind."See how much more vivid and immersive that is? It's like you're really there at the beach!Another cool technique Jack learned is using figurative language like similes and metaphors. A simile compares two different things using the words "like" or "as," while a metaphor says one thing literally is another thing. For example:Simile: "The clouds drifted across the sky like fluffy white ships."Metaphor: "The sun was a blazing orb in the cloudless sky."Figurative language helps readers visualize things in a fresh, creative way. It makes writing more interesting and poetic.Jack has also been working on writing strong descriptive paragraphs that flow logically and develop one main idea thoroughly. His teacher showed them how to start with a topic sentence that introduces the main subject, follow it with several detailed sentences that describe different aspects of that subject, and then wrap it up with a concluding sentence. Proper paragraph structure makes writing more organized and easier to follow.Another important element of descriptive writing is using precise, vivid vocabulary. Instead of vague words like "nice" or "good," Jack is learning to use richer, more specific descriptors like "radiant," "dilapidated," "succulent," etc. Vocabulary makes all the difference in creating clear, evocative mental pictures.Overall, this unit on descriptive writing has been really cool and useful for Jack. He's learned to engage readers' senses, use creative figurative language, organize information into coherent paragraphs, and pick vivid vocabulary. With these skills, his writing has become so much more vibrant and engaging.I can't wait to read the descriptive essay Jack has been working on for this unit. He's describing his favorite place, which is this treehouse in the woods behind his grandparents' house. I bet it's going to be like I'm really up there in the treehouse, surrounded by rustling leaves and birdsong. Jack's new descriptive writing skills are going to make me feel like I'm living inside his words!Well, that's all I wanted to share about my friend Jack's 6th grade composition unit on descriptive writing. Isn't learning about writing cool? I think Jack is going to grow up to be an amazing author someday. But for now, we're just a couple of 6thgrade kids having fun with words and bringing our imagination to life on the page.篇6My Favorite Unit: Writing About My Hobbies and InterestsHi there! I'm really excited to tell you all about Unit 4 in our 6th grade writing book. This unit is my absolute favorite because it's all about writing stories and descriptions about our hobbies and interests. How cool is that? We get to write about the things we love doing the most!The unit starts off with some tips on how to write descriptively. The first lesson shows us ways to use lots of detailed adjectives and vivid verbs to paint a picture in the reader's mind. For example, instead of just saying "I played basketball", we learn to write something more exciting like "I dribbled the orange spherical ball swiftly down the court, expertly weaving between defenders." Adding those kinds of juicy details makes your writing way more fun and interesting to read.Next, we move on to writing narratives and anecdotes about our hobbies. This means telling little stories and recounting experiences we've had. I really enjoyed this part because I got towrite a few mini-stories about playing video games with my friends. I described that adrenaline rush of clutching the controller as my character battled the boss monster. And I recapped the time we stayed up way too late but still couldn't stop playing our favorite game. Getting to relive those memories on paper was awesome!The best part of the unit was definitely the project at the end where we wrote a multi-page guide all about one of our biggest interests or hobbies. I decided to do mine on reading comics and graphic novels. I poured my heart into describing my huge comic collection, analyzing the artwork styles of my favorite titles, giving recommendations for which comics kids my age would love, and more. I even got to include some pencil sketches I had drawn of my top three favorite superhero characters. My comic guide looked so professional when I was done!But writing that project was also really hard work. I had to organize all my thoughts into different sections with headings and subheadings. Making sure to include smooth transitions between paragraphs was tricky too. Most challenging of all was trying to strike the right tone - writing seriously and informatively, while still letting my passion for the topic shine through in an enthusiastic way. Our teacher ran us throughseveral drafts with tons of revisions to get the writing nicely polished.That revision process was honestly kind of painful at times. But it was worth it because I ended up with a final writing piece I felt really proud of. And going through all those steps of planning, drafting, and revising will definitely help me become a stronger writer in general.Looking back over the entire unit, I can now see how much my writing skills improved. In the beginning, my descriptions and narratives were just kind of flat and boring. But then we learned about using sensory details and imagery, adding dialogue, showing rather than telling, and all those other good writing techniques. By the end, I could write way more vividly, making my words really jump off the page at you.I also feel like I got much better at writing stuff that is clear, organized, and focused - instead of just rambling all over the place. The whole process of outlining, structuring your pieces into logical progressions, cutting out irrelevant details, and keeping your writing streamlined toward a main idea...well, it was difficult at first but those are such valuable skills.Overall, this hobbies and interests unit was equal parts fun and challenging for me. I got to write about things I feel reallyenthusiastic about, which made the work feel more purposeful and meaningful. At the same time, I was continually stretched as a writer to new levels. I'm honestly going to miss this unit now that it's over!I know that writing stories and descriptions centered around our hobbies and interests may not sound like the most thrilling topic ever. But trust me, it was way more engaging than you might think - especially when you care deeply about that particular hobby like I do with reading comics. Bring your favorite pastimes and obsessions, add in some creative writing techniques, narrative storytelling, and voilà - you've got yourself one extremely entertaining and personally meaningful unit of study.So those are my thoughts on our hobbies and interests writing unit! I realize this essay focused a lot on my experience specifically, but I hope it still gave you a good sense of what the unit covered in a bigger sense. Things like descriptive writing skills, narrative storytelling, organizing and structuring longer pieces of writing, and the whole drafting/revision process. We may have all chosen to write about different hobbies, but we all got solid practice with those core skills.At the end of the day, writing is writing, you know? Whichever particular topic you're writing about, the fundamentals are still there - using vivid and specific details, getting your ideas organized in a clear and logical way, continually polishing and improving your drafts. That's the biggest overarching takeaway I'm carrying with me from this unit into future writing I'll do.So yeah, those are my two cents after having fully immersed myself in this hobbies and interests unit for the past few weeks. I'm really going to miss getting to write about my passions everyday! But I'm also walking away feeling much more confident in my overall writing abilities. On to the next unit I go, ready to conquer that with my newly leveled-up skills! Thanks for reading my ramblings, friends. Happy writing!。

Unit 4 Book 1Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.“I mow your lawn,” he said. (Para. 2)How many times is the sentence —“I mow your lawn.” —repeated in the text? Why is it repeated?(The sentence is repeated four times. That’s because it shows Tony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.)2.Well, what do you do with such determination and hope?
