为了提高
You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks. Which country would you like to visit? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.
If I could visit any foreign country, I’d like to visit Ireland. I have dreamed of visiting there for many years. The scenery is so beautiful. Ireland has a lot of rain and that makes everything very green and lush. It hasn’t become a completely industrialized country yet, so there are still areas where the countryside is unspoiled by pollution. Often, you can drive for miles without seeing another car or of coming into a big city. I’d like to take my set of paints and several canvases and try to capture some of the scenes there. It seems wherever you turn, you’re looking at beautiful scenery. The area near the ocean is especially dramatic, with giant dark cliffs rising out of the water.
I also think I’d enjoy the slower pace of Ireland. It’s so different from the busy pace of my country. Of course, Ireland’s big cities are just as hectic as any big city anywhere,but many of the Irish live in smaller towns or on farms in rural areas. Visiting these places is very restful. People don’t feel the need to stick to a schedule. Things get done, but in a much more relaxed fashion. In my country, there’s the feeling that you’re always late for something. In Ireland, it feels like you’ve never late because no one stays on schedule.
Most of all, it would be interesting for me to meet my cousins from my mother’s family. They live in Donegal. I could see the house where my grandmother grew up and where my cousins still live. This house is connected to a lighthouse. Visiting there would give me a clearer idea of what my grandmother’s childhood was like.Ireland would be a refreshing break from the life I lead in my own country. I wish I could go there.
满分要素剖析：
一、语言表达
1、Of course, Ireland’s big cities are just as hectic as any big city anywhere, but many of the Irish live in smaller towns or on farms in rural areas.本句话用转折的结构，并且hectic这个词，这个词代表热情的、狂热的，是一个比较值得我们学习的小词。另外，开头的of course也是一个很好承接上文的短语。
2、Ireland would be a refreshing break from the life I lead in my own country. 这句话用了一个refreshing break，即充电的小憩，这个短语非常地道和优美，把爱尔兰的特点写的淋漓尽致，希望大家都可以学习。
3、The area near the ocean is especially dramatic, with giant dark cliffs rising out of the water. 本句话非常优美，这句话的意思是，临近海洋的这块陆地非常美丽，有着漆黑的巨大岩石从水上竖起。这句话描写了爱尔兰的美景，也突出了本文的特点，即语句富有诗意，非常优美。
二、逻辑结构
本文是简单的正正正型结构，并且又可分为总分总的形式。总之，本文结构非常简单，不仅简单，而且简单暴力，这种正正正的形式三个段落都写了爱尔兰的好。
