? Writing

When we write an article about the shopping facilities in a big city, we can divide it into four paragraphs.

In the first paragragh, we state the name of the city and the types of shops we can find there.

In the second paragragh, we state the name of the best shops, where they are and what we can buy there.

In the third paragragh, we state the opening hours and the sales times.

In the last paragragh, we recommend the place to shoppers.

We normally use the present simple in such articles. We give the article an interesting title to attract the reader's attention.
