Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.I dmire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to cam the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”, He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.What impresses me most is his famous saying. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.Sample 2: Helen KellerEvery time I read “…..if I had the power of sight for three days”, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her, but she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best go overcome any difficulty in life.Sample 3:William ShakespeareDo you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world, I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!Since “Life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.【写作指导】1.介绍人物常用短语有：work hard at…;do sth with great determination and perseverance（毅力）;be strict in sth./with sb.;devote oneself to…;win a prize/the first prize in …competition;be good at… /do well in…;make rapid progress in …go through hardship/overcome many difficulties;have a gift/ talent for…2 评价人物常用短语：one of the best/ most important …;set a good example for…;a model teacher/worker;be respected by everyone;speak/ think highly of…;be honored as (an excellent athlete);His hard work brought him great success;… is the pride of …;make great contributions to…;be famous/known as;remember sb forever二 介绍地点一.常用句式和语言：1.location(位置)1)Our school lies near /behind / in front of / by the side of… / between / among…2)There stands an old temple near the river. 3)Our city is located in…,2.area (面积) 1)The size of our city is … square kilometers;2)Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world, covers / has an area of …3)Tiananmen Square, with / covering an area of…, is the largest square in the world.4)Our school , which takes up … thousand square meters, is very large in size. 3.surroundings (周边环境)1)The beautiful town is located /situated on the west of the lake / to the west of the mountain / in the west of the province.2)West of the city stands a tall building.3)Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the small village faces a clear river on the east.4.transport ( 交通)1)It is very convenient for you to come to our city… 2)It takes … (time) to take a bus from…to...3) … is only a few bus stops from downtown. 4) … is within easy reach.5. population(人口)1)Japan has a small population of2)China is a developing country, with a population of 1.3 billion.3)The population of our city is increasing year by year.4)Eighty percent of the population here are farmers… 6.history (历史)1)China has a history of over 5000 years.2)Egypt is an Arabian country with a long history.3)Built in the16th century, the castle has witnessed too much coming and going in history.7.places of interest (名胜)1)The places around our city are rich in a natural resources.2)The city, known as…, attracts millions of visitors from all over the world.3)The city is well-known / famous for its…/as…4)The city is home/birthplace to …5) … is a must-see for tourists, as…6)The city offers visitors a moment’s rest from the busy city.7) You are sure to have a wonderful time in…8) Few visitors leave the cit。
