DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE

 Dear students,

Today we are going to read an example of a composition describing a place. Remember that it is really important to use a lot of "colourful" adjectives, which will actually improve your composition.

 

The structure you may want to follow is:

 

PARAGRAPH 1: Description of the city. Location and size.

PARAGRAPH 2: What to do.

PARAGRAPH 3: Recommendations. Where to stay and when to go.

 

Thank you Laura for your great work describing Madrid!!😘

MADRID

 

Madrid is a big impressive city in the centre of Spain, about 506 kilometres from the city of Barcelona. As it is a big city, there's plenty of sites to visit and discover. It is lively, trendy, characterful and it has an old historic part and a new part, It is also famous for its monuments, football stadium, food and shops.

Madrid isn't a compact town, you can go by bus, train and metro to other different places. In the town centre there are a lot of amazing places such as parks, theatres, clubs or pubs. Here the day and the night is surprisingly lively and crazy. You can usually find street artists, they are incredible. One of the highlights of staying here is visiting the Retiro, it's such a beautiful park and here you have a lot of amazing things to do, but if you prefer anything more peaceful, you can go to a lot of beautiful cafés and museums.

The best time to visit the town is in the summer and in the winter, and the best time to visit the villages nearby is in the summer, because at this time you can enjoy the best weather, parties, festivals, and you will be able to value the culture and places better. Madrid is always worth visiting!
