Description of a Beautiful Place


Come and visit this cozy getaway nestled deep in the woods.  Enjoy the beautiful landscape of green trees and shrubs lined with gorgeous flowers that surround the crystal blue lake.  Watch the wildlife roam the area, hear the birds sing their songs, and the multi colored fish swim. All while you are sitting by the log cabin relaxing.  At night, as the big yellow sun goes down you can start the fire.  The warmth of the fire feels nice as the air gets a chill. Watch as the fire’s flames roar colors of yellow and orange, as you are roasting delicious white fluffy marshmallows.    



Vocabulary:

cozy getaway: comfortable place to go for a short vacation/trip away from home

nestled: in an area by itself

landscape: surroundings, usually trees, flowers

roasting delicious white fluffy marshmallows: when you put a marshmallow on a stick and hold it over the fire to warm it, and then eat it!



Vocabulary Exercise: Use the vocabulary words to create a sentence for each of your own.



Grammar: the story used many words to describe the place.  Those are called adjectives.  Circle the adjectives in the story.  Then, write your own story describing a place using at least five adjectives.
