2014年6月英语四级作文点评：桂林

　　Guilin – A Beautiful City in China

　　In China, there's a saying that "The landscape of Guilin tops that of any other place under heaven." In light of this, I will recommend Guilin as the first destination of my foreign friend's trip to China.

　　Overlooking the Li Jiang River, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi. The name was derived¹ from the cassia trees of the location. The trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every September, filling the air with sweet scent².

　　Guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery. From ancient times, Guilin has been noted³ for its elegant landscape. It features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque⁴ rocks and mystic crags, which is a feast for the eyes. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied⁵ shapes of the pinnacles⁶ reflected in the water. They will feel as if they were in a scroll⁷ of Chinese landscape painting.

　　I believe that my foreign friend will marvel⁸ at the unparalleled beauty of Guilin.

　　【点评】

　　本次四级作文一反以往的图片题形式，改为情境式话题作文，可能让准备好图片题写作的同学有点措手不及。不过话题贴近生活，要求介绍中国某个好玩的地方，即一篇介绍性的短文，难度不大，只要避免语法错误即可保证得分。想要博出彩拿高分，可以在词汇的丰富性上下功夫，避免同样的词多次出现。
