Organization:

本单元的写作项目是介绍一个你喜欢的地方，对一篇介绍某个地方的文章用简洁的语言概括原文的主题。这种文体通常用第三人称，时态以一般现在时为主。在写作此类文章时，我们要注意的是，在概要中不要照搬原文语句，而要用自己的语言，如恰当的同义词或同义句来代替原文的关键词、主旨句或段落中心大意。

在写作时要注意以下几点：

1．理清原文结构

了解文章的结构可以更好地为理解中心意思服务。

2．抓中心词和大意

找出原文的关键词、主旨句和各段落的大意，用词性转换、近义词替换、转换句型或者用概括的语言(如名词性从句)简化描述的方法来重新组织文章；然后用衔接词或合并句子的方法让概要更为流畅、凝练。
