Model 1 Description of a placeMy Dormitory RoomMy college is a comparatively small one. It has only two dormitory buildings: one for boys and one for girls.My dormitory room is on the second floor of Girl Bachelors Building. It is a rectangular room with white ceiling and walls. As you enter the room, straight ahead you will see two large windows with gold curtains. My bed, which is covered with a red and yellow bedspread, is under the windows. On your left, against the wall, there is a large bookcase filled with books. Close to the door, a desk and chair sit next to the bookcase, with a small woven wastepaper basket underneath the desk. There are posters on this wall. The one that is over the bookcase shows an interesting scene from our country. The one that is over the desk is of my favorite singer. To your right, built into the wall opposite the bookcase and desk, is a closet with sliding doors. Behind you on your right and somewhat behind the door, is a dresser with a mirror over it.Small as it is, sharing with other five roommates, I feel it comfortable and pleasant to live in my dormitory room.Model 2 Description of a personMaries LooksMy friend John is lucky to have a good girlfriend whose name is Marie. She, besides fine quality, is born with a beautiful appearance. Marie is as beautiful as any Hollywood star. Her thick wavy, long black hair gracefully falls down to her shoulders and surrounds her exquisite, diamond-shaped face. A golden suntan usually highlights her smooth, clear complexion. Her slightly arched chestnut brown eyebrows draw attention to her deep blue eyes, which remind me of lake on a stormy day. Her eyes are large, but not too large, with thick eyelashes. Her nose is straight and neither too long nor too short. A small black mole on the left side of her mouth adds to her beauty. And her mouth! It is a small mouth that looks delicate and feminine. Her lips are rather thin, but not too thin; her light pink lipstick adds another touch of beauty. When she smiles, which is often, her well-formed and even, white teeth brighten up her whole face. There is but extraordinary beauty in the face of Marie.You see what a luck my friend john has got for such a good girlfriend!Model 3 Description of a sceneOur BackyardMy family live in a closed yard, which is divided into two parts by our house: the front yard and the backyard.Our backyard is dominated by a huge old live oak tree. / The base of the trunk measures approximately ten feet around. The thick muscular trunk rises solidly for about eight feet and then separates into four branches. / From these, the lower branches spread out horizontally over the ground, reaching into the neighbors yards. The main branches continue to rise, up and up, where they compete with each other for air and sunlight. / From these heights, the neighborhood cardinals and the blue jays sing to each other, keeping a sharp eye out for cats. As the birds sway in the wind, they look as if they are riding a ship across a gently swelling ocean. / From these heights, too, it is easy to see the variety of shrubs and sweet-smelling flowers lining the two long sides of our rectangular yard, the small walkway along the back of the house, and the back fence th
