Look atthese phrases from another speaker:
You canuse the phrase “stretching out in all directions” to describe the image ofbeing able to see the fields going off into the distance.
You couldalso say “When on top of Mountain Tai Shan there is a view of the wholeprovince - fields and hills in the distance as far as the eye can see”
You coulduse the phrase “You can feel the power of nature all around you” to describeany place where you feel a strong sense of being amidst nature - by a powerfulwaterfall, beside the sea, on top of a mountain or in the grasslands - any areaoutside, away from the town or city.
“bustling” is a wonderful adjectiveyou can use when you want to describe that there are lots of people, a littlecrowded, busy doing things. A street can be “bustling with activity”, a shoppingmall before Christmas, or a town centre on New Years eve when lots of peoplecrowd around to welcome in the New Year.
“quaint” is an adjective used todescribe a small, pretty village surrounded with beautiful natural scenery.
Theexercise that follows is full of adjectives that people use when they aredescribing places. Use a dictionary if you need to, and make sure you make amental note of the adjectives that you learn and in what context they are used.
Remember- you can incorporate words and phrases from these exercises into your ownEnglish, so you become much better at describing places!
