2021/2/11 * Example 3: A description of Mr. Scrooge in A Christmas Carol The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didnt thaw it one degree at Christmas. 他内心的冷酷使老朽的躯体蒙上一层寒霜,冻伤了他尖挺的鼻梁,冻皱了他的双颊、冻僵了他步伐,并使他双眼通红、薄唇发紫,连他的沙哑的声音所说出来的话语,也十分冰冷刺骨。 他的头顶、眉骨及瘦削的下巴上,都覆盖着白皑皑的寒霜。那股寒意总是与他如影随形,即使是盛夏,他也可以让办公室的气温降至冰点,甚至是圣诞节,情形依旧如此。 2021/2/11 * Word Choice Help P34-35 sight words touch words hearing words smell words taste words 2021/2/11 * How to develop an essay of description effectively? 4.

Use examples. Example 5: A description of Mr. Scrooge in A Christmas Carol Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks, My dear Scrooge, how are you?
