An article describing a visit to a place

When we write an article describing a visit to a place we usually write four paragraphs.

Introduction

First paragraph = we write the name and location of the place as well as our reason(s) for choosing it.

Main body

Second paragraph = we usually write about what the place looks like.

Third paragraph = we describe the place in detail; we can include the things we can see, feel, hear, smell and taste.

Conclusion

Last paragraph = we write about our feelings and personal comments and/or our recommendation.

Narrative descriptions of places can be found in tourist magazines, letters, stories, etc. We normally use past tenses to describe our visit. However, we use present tenses to talk about the location. We can use a variety of adjectives and adverbs as wells as our senses to make our description more appealing to the reader.
