en la explicacin (Chapter Paragraph structure).
My hometown
My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First,
it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On
either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees
which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In
autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden
snow. Also, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is
unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this
hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides
that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it
stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away.
The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two
hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These
three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a
famous place.
Butterflies
Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and interesting creatures on
earth. Their attractive, brilliant colors catch interest immediately.
They have wings of varying shapes and sizes, and some even appear to
have "eyes" on them! Some butterflies are cleverly camouflaged with
colors that assist them in blending with the plant life in their
environments. The delicate physical structure of the butterfly (along
with hair-like legs and antennae) adds to its gentle beauty. Some of
these curious insects vary distinctly in size, with the largest-known wing
span at four inches, and the smallest measured from wing tip to tip at
one-half inch. Without these glorious, artful creations darting about in the
world, our lives would indeed be much more drab and boring.
