人教版八年级英语写作：The Wonders of Nature (自然奇观)

写作目标

结合本单元“自然奇观”主题，介绍一处中国自然景观，达成以下目标：

1. 能正确使用本单元“自然景观”相关核心词汇（如wonder、size、waterfall等）及短语；

2. 能熟练运用“Located in...”（说明位置）、“It is one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”（说明地位）等本单元重点句型；

3. 能按“介绍景观名称/位置→描述景观特色→作出评价”的逻辑完成书信体写作，贴合“介绍自然奇观”的单元主题。

题目解析

1. 体裁：书信体说明文，需给英国笔友Jim写信介绍中国自然奇观；

2. 人称：第三人称（描述景观）+第一人称（推荐/评价）；

3. 核心要求

内容：覆盖“景观名称、地理位置、景观特色、评价”4个要点；

字数：不少于80词，用一般现在时描述景观，用连词（and、because of）提升内容连贯性。

思路点拨

1. 书信开头：承接已给开头，点明要介绍的自然奇观名称；

2. 展开介绍：先说明景观的位置和地位，再分点描述其特色（如湖泊、瀑布、山脉等）；

3. 结尾评价：对景观作出评价，表达推荐之意，呼应书信结尾的期待。

Dear Jim,

Welcome to China! There’re a lot of amazing places to visit. Now, let me tell you one of them—Jiuzhai Valley.

Located in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, Jiuzhai Valley is one of the most amazing wonders of nature in China. It covers about 720 square kilometres. The lakes here are truly special: their water shows colours like red, green and light blue, all because of the sunlight and unique underwater plants. The Five-Flower Lake, with its clear and colourful water, is the most famous spot here. What’s more, the Nuorilang Waterfall—25 metres high and 270 metres wide—roars loudly when water rushes down, and the surrounding mountains are covered with green trees all year round.

Jiuzhai Valley is such a wonderful place! Every season gives it a different kind of beauty. You’ll surely fall in love with it when you visit.

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Hua

亲爱的Jim：

欢迎来中国！这里有很多令人惊叹的地方可以游览。现在，让我给你介绍其中一个——九寨沟。

九寨沟位于中国西南部的四川省，是中国最神奇的自然奇观之一，面积约720平方公里。这里的湖泊非常特别：湖水会呈现出红、绿、浅蓝等颜色，这都是因为阳光和独特的水下植物。五花海有着清澈多彩的湖水，是这里最有名的景点。此外，诺日朗瀑布高25米、宽270米，水流奔涌而下时会发出轰鸣的声响，周围的山脉全年都被绿树覆盖。

九寨沟真是个绝妙的地方！每个季节都赋予它不一样的美。你来游览的时候一定会爱上它的。

期待很快见到你。

你的，

李华
