U2 Discussion: Describing the senses and food 优秀样例

By 梁晓彤助教 老师 2天前 5次浏览
  • A perfect example:

杨芊芊:

Sight: This fruit is round and has a vibrant, deep red color that’s almost like a sunset. Its skin is smooth and shiny, with a slight give when you press it gently.

Sound: When you tap it, it gives off a soft, dull thud, indicating that it’s ripe and ready to be eaten.

Smell: The aroma is sweet and inviting, with hints of floral notes that remind you of a summer garden.

Taste: The first bite is crisp and juicy, with a burst of sweet and tart flavors that dance on your tongue. As you chew, the sweetness becomes more pronounced, leaving a lingering taste that’s both refreshing and satisfying.

Touch: To the touch, the skin is cool and firm, but not hard. The flesh inside is soft and yields easily to the pressure of your fingers, releasing a generous amount of juice as you bite into it.

 

The given example is striking and engaging, successfully conveying the sensory experience of the fruit through a series of well-chosen adjectives and metaphors. Here's an example of the evaluation based on content, structure, and language:

(1) Content:

The description covers all five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch), which is an excellent approach to creating a comprehensive and immersive description of the fruit. The progression from the outside appearance to the taste experience is logical and builds anticipation, culminating in the satisfying description of the taste.

(2) Structure:

The description is well-structured, with each sense being addressed in a separate paragraph, making it easy to follow and understand. Moreover, the transition between the external characteristics and the internal experience of eating the fruit is seamless.

(3) Language:

The language is pretty descriptive and evocative, with a good balance between simplicity and richness. Phrases like "crisp and juicy" and "sweet and tart flavors that dance on your tongue" are particularly impactful. The vocabulary is appropriate and contributes to the overall sensory experience, with words like "vibrant" "inviting" and "refreshing" enhancing the reader's perception of the fruit. Most importantly, the adoption of metaphor and simile, such as comparing the color of the fruit to a sunset and the floral notes to a summer garden, adds depth and beauty to the description.

To sum up, the description is a success in terms of engaging the reader's senses and creating a vivid picture of the fruit. It is well-written, structured, and uses language that is both vivid and attractive, effectively drawing the reader's attention. I hope you can learn from this evaluation example about how to evaluate the responses of your classmates, and I look forward to your excellent evaluation.
