3. CONCLUDING SENTENCES.

My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features.  First, it is noted

for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. Also, on the other side of

the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. The third

amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is

probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing and

make my hometown a famous place.
