Descriptive writing. 
The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe

A person,

Place or

Thing

In such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind.

Describing an event involves paying close attention to the details by using all of
your five senses.

You can describe:

● Human essay.​ It is much harder to tell about a person. Overall, such task
would mean telling about the appearance, actions, behaviours, mood,
and qualities of the chosen individual.
● Place essay.​ Focus on describing places with the most breathtaking
sights; let your reader feel the might of such cities as New York or Rome
in your description.
● Event essay.​ You can describe your last vacation, summer music festival,
graduation day, or Euro trip.
● Animal essay.​ Wild nature is full of wonders - choose the animal you like
the most of all or the one you can associate with yourself.
● Occupation essay.​ Writing about the job of your dream
● Behaviour essay.​ If you want to describe the extraordinary behaviour of
your best friend to show how the same people act under different
conditions, it's your chance!
