My Hometown: Lake Geneva
My hometown, Lake Geneva, is a
beautiful place. Lake Geneva is in southern Wisconsin in the United States.
It’s a small town with only about 5,000 residents. However, in the summer Lake
Geneva is very crowded and full of tourists. People come to see our lake. The
lake is very beautiful, clear and it’s fairly big. It’s a good lake for
swimming, boating or doing other water sports. In the fall, winter and spring,
Lake Geneva is more peaceful. It’s nice to take a walk to the lake. In the
winter sometimes it is so quiet that you can hear the snow fall. I really miss
my hometown!

WRITING YOUR HOMETOWN PARAGRAPH
1. Make sure to include a topic sentence. Give the name of your hometown and an honest description.
2. Make sure all the details/supporting sentences describe your hometown. Don't start to talk about your hobbies, your family or a different topic.
3. Answer some of the questions from class today (What can you do there?, What is it like in the fall? etc.)
4. Describe your hometown with adjectives.
5. Tell about what interests you. If something is interesting to you, it will probably be interesting to other people. If it bores you, it will probably bore other people.
