Describe a beautiful building in your hometown
范文一:
Alright,well I've been asked to talk about something beautiful and I'd like to choose the White Cloud Temple.It is located in Beijing and it's on the west side of town.It's not that far away from a subway station,but you would need to take a bus,because it's a bit far to walk.I go there probably two or more times a year.It's a Taoist temple,probably the most active Taoist temple in Beijing.I'm a Taoist.But I go there more than just to pray.I really try to take a trip to find some time to rediscover myself.During the Spring Festival people jam into it because they hold what I think is the best carnival during Spring Festival.We call them Miao Huis.At that time the temple is very crowded,but most other times it's quite peaceful,and it's a good place to get away from all the people.
I think the reason it's so beautiful is because it is simple and it seems to blend in well with its environment.The small praying hall is very serene.It has a nice pool and a bridge.The Taoist motifs are quite simple but I think they are very charming.I love to go there during the winter after a big snowfall because it's at this time that it seems to be most mysterious.I choose this as the most beautiful because,to me,beauty is simplicity and natural design,and it also means it fits the environment it is in.I don't really like grand,elaborate temples.I prefer temples that seem powerful not because of their structures but because they are perfect for their simple beauty.
范文二:
When I was on vacation last summer I saw a lot of interesting places,but one that sticks in my mind is a tower,well actually some people called it a fort–it was constructed a long time ago,in the 17 century.It was used to guard the shore against invasions from enemies and for that reason it had a semicircular gun platform,or an artillery battery,which was able to defend against attacks from the sea.
The design of the building is quite simple;it’s a four-walled structure with a pentagonal turret(or tower)at each corner.The entrance to the tower is via a drawbridge–just like you see in old castles,and there is a moat all around the structure,although now it’s a ditch without any water.
It’s been used for various purposes over the centuries,obviously for defense,also as a prison,and more recently it housed a restaurant as well as a pizzeria although when I visited it the building was closed and apparently now it isn’t actually used for anything–it’s just a historical site–but we were lucky enough to see a special event there–a historical re-enactment of one of the important events that happened during an invasion–this was part of a celebration of the building’s 400th year.
The interesting thing is–it’s not a famous building like the Eiffel Tower or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai,it wasn’t built by a well-known architect or anyone famous,but it’s size and appearance in contrast to the area around it–and its commanding view of the sea are quite impressive,not to mention the fact that it’s more than 400 hundred years old and it’s still standing there–very imposing.When we were standing inside we could almost‘feel’the history in its walls and you could easily imagine how things were at the time it was built–it has such a presence.That’s why I think it’s an interesting building–because of how it made me feel.
