Write a profile essay of 400 – 450 words in which you describe your selected place. Reminder: an essay should contain an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Include a thesis statement at the end of the introduction that focuses on some aspect of the place that the reader will find intriguing or unusual.
Rely on showing via sensory impressions (sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and tactile sensations) rather than telling. Hint: use action verbs (i.e., explode, roared, bloomed, ran, etc.) rather than passive verbs of being (i.e., is, was, were, are, etc.)
Bring attention to the uniqueness of the place, showing what is remarkable about it.
Present a portrait of the place through a specific angle of vision. That is, convey a dominant attitude toward the subject, an attitude (i.e., fascination, disgust, amusement, detachment, joy, etc.) that can be implied through details or stated explicitly.
