Section ⅤWriting——地点介绍类说
明文
[文体指导]
地点介绍类或旅游景点类的作文属于说明文，写此类文章时应注意以下几点：
1．写作内容通常包括地理位置、面积、人口、气候特征、历史、特产等。

也可适当融入人文风貌，简单介绍该地区的民间风俗及人们的生活方式等，但要抓住该地区的主要特征，描写详略得当，不可面面俱到；
2．写作时要遵循一定的顺序。

描写时找准切入点，再由这个点展开(时间或空间顺序)；
3．时态常用一般现在时，人称常用第三人称；
4．注意行文的连贯性，句子之间、层次之间、段落之间要衔接紧密，过渡自然，可用一些常用关联词或词组来体现这种逻辑性。

基本结构：第一部分：首先点明文章主要是介绍什么地方；
第二部分：说明具体情况(如某地的历史、人口、地位等基本情况以及名胜、饮食等)；
第三部分：总结。
