My granny’s hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First, it is noted for the West Chester riverbank, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Second, on the other side of her howetown is Delaware Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around thishill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away.

QUESTION 50
The following paragraph lacks completeness/development?
A midwinter vacation at Club Happy Feet Resort has its good points and bad points. The beaches are clean and un-crowded. The surrounding countryside is lush and soothing to winter-weary eyes. Furthermore, being able to take sailing and scuba diving lessons, while friends back home shovel snow, makes the outdoor activities extra-enjoyable. On the other hand, several features of Club Happy Feet are substandard. The food is poor, and, because the club is isolated, eating elsewhere is impossible. Security could also be better, as thefts from several guests’ rooms indicated. So, for some vacationers, nice scenery and fun activities may not be enough to offset the possibility of poor service and lax security.
a. True
b. False
