Outline

We need to remember to talk about the following: 

• Introduce the place

• Where it is

• Why it’s so great

• Why people should visit it

For a review or article, I usually break away from my typical 3-paragraph outline. 

For this, I’ll do an intro, two paragraphs for the body, and a conclusion (reiterating why people should visit it).

I’m going to talk about my hometown. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site, so it should be easy. Most people come for two things: the architecture or to see old boats.

• Intro - Talk about the place - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

• Talk about the architecture

• Talk the boats

• Conclusion (why people should visit it).

190 words actually aren’t a lot. You will not be able to write about too many things for each point. Use this to your advantage, because writing less actually means less chance for mistakes.

Plan your Paragraphs

I’m going to talk about my hometown. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site.

• Intro - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

• Talk about the architecture

  • The Academy

  • The Opera House

  • old churches

  • historic waterfront

• Talk about the boats

  • shipbuilding

  • Bluenose

  • Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic

• My recommendation

Brainstorming Language

I also brainstorm language that I might use. This helps me write my essay faster:

Remember, 190 words actually aren't a lot.

Title

Let’s start with a quick title: Lunenburg is an Unforgettable Nova Scotian Gem

We can always change our title at the end. 

Introduction

An introduction should have one or two sentences that introduce the place, where it’s located, and what we are writing about.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia is a not-so-hidden gem located on the eastern coast of Canada. Every year, thousands of people flock here this year. By the end of this article, you’ll understand exactly why.

The Body

The body might be a little different from the usual 3-paragraph approach I recommend. I think I’ll do 2 paragraphs, and then a short conclusion reminding everyone why they should see my town.

I’ll be talking about:

• Talk about the architecture

  • academy

  • opera house

  • old churches

  • historic waterfront

• Talk about the boats

  • shipbuilding

  • bluenose

  • fisheries museum of the Atlantic

Here's what I came up with:

One of the most unique things about Lunenburg is it’s architecture. As it’s one of the oldest British settlements in North America, it has buildings dating back to the 1800s. The Academy, Opera House, and historic churches are all must-see places for any tourist. You can improve your English by taking part in any of the tours that explore these sites.

Lunenburg is also famous for shipbuilding, and is the home port of several famous ships such as the Bluenose. It is also regularly visited by many other wooden sailing ships from around the world.  Additionally, any lover of sailing can visit the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic on the waterfront. The locals will love to help you learn all about classic ship-building and whaling, as well as fishing on modern ships today.

The Conclusion

The conclusion will finish your piece. Your conclusion should:

• Summarise the main point of your writing.

• Not have new ideas.

My conclusion might read as followed:

As you can see, Lunenburg is a must-see destination for anyone who comes to the area, and a great place to practice your English.

Example

Let’s put it all together with some sequencing words and headers for each section:
