around you. Doing this will help you give added
details while writing a description.

you see, in general, when you observe? Note it
down.

support your impressions:
• For example while observing a room; you may
have formed impressions of its furniture,
decor and its overall layout.
• You can support your impressions with
specific details, which will give your
description a realistic touch.

be a cluttered and disorganized place.

thoughts. Structure your description in such a
way that one thought flows into the other.
