Step V Share and show

Choose a place in your city or town as a destination for a school trip. Use the passage above as an example and write about your choice.

Suggested answer:

With the colourful scenery and wonderful hiking trials, taking a trip to Danxia Geothermal Park in Gansu Province is one of the highlights of any trip to the northwestern part of China. You're welcome to visit! It is near the city of Zhangye in Gansu Province,my hometown and where my school is, and it covers about 510 square kilometres. Forming the rocks took many kinds of erosion,such as wind and water on the red sandstone. What encourages thousands of people to come here each year is the natural beauty of the rocks. Walking around the park will allow you to see iridescent tall peaks, deep cave holes, and stone halls. Visiting the colourful and magical rock formations in person will surely be an unforgettable experience and one you will share with friends and family for years to come.
