WRITING
TOPIC: What kind of charms of Britain is presented in the text "The Beauty of Britain" by J. B. Priestley? Use the following outline as a guide.
·Its geographical variety
·Its surprising landscape
·The balance between Nature and Man
【正确答案】：
    THE CHARM OF BRITAIN LIES, FIRSTLY, IN THE FACT THAT IT IS A COUNTRY WHICH ENJOYS BRILLIANT GEOGRAPHICAL VARIETY WITHIN A SMALL AREA. LIKE ANY BIG COUNTRY, IT HAS MOUNTAINS, PLAINS, RIVERS AND LAKES. THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS ARE MERELY IN THEIR MINIATURE SIZE, THEY HAVE ALL THE AIR OF GREAT MOUNTAINS.
    BRITAIN IS ALSO CHARMING IN THAT IT IS A COUNTRY FULL OF HAPPY AND SURPRISING LANDSCAPE. TAKE THE WEALD FOR EXAMPLE. ON A ROLLING PLAIN, YOU MIGHT SUDDENLY FIND BEFORE YOU MOUNTAINS WITH GENUINE STEEP SLOPES. IN A HIGHLY INDUSTRIALIZED DISTRICT, YOU MIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY COME ACROSS A BIT OF ROUGH HEATH COUNTRY.
    WHAT, HOWEVER, REALLY FASCINATES VISITORS TO BRITAIN IS THE BALANCE BETWEEN NATURE AND MAN IN THIS COUNTRY. HERE, YOU CAN FIND THE COMPROMISE BETWEEN WILDERNESS AND CULTIVATION; HERE, YOU CANNOT FIND ANY CLEAR BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTRYSIDE; AND HERE, MEN AND TREES AND FLOWERS HAVE ALL SETTLED DOWN COMFORTABLY TOGETHER.
【题目解析】：
建议结合课文从英国的地理多样性、奇景和人与自然之间的平衡三点入手分段陈述。
英国的魅力首先在于它是一个在一个小范围内拥有丰富地理多样性的国家。像任何一个大国一样，它有山脉、平原、河流和湖泊。虽然英国的山和那些名山大川相比只能算小山丘，但它们同样拥有大山的风貌。
英国也很迷人，因为它是一个充满宜人奇景的国家。以《原野》为例，在起伏的平原上，你可能会突然发现你面前出现了极其陡峭的山坡。在一个高度工业化的地区，你可能会意外地遇到有些崎岖的的荒野地带。
然而，真正吸引游客去往英国的是这个国家人与自然之间的平衡。在这里，你可以找到荒野与耕种之间的妥协；在这里，你找不到任何城市和乡村之间清晰的界限；在这里，人与自然(树木、花丛)舒适安逸地共存着。
