 DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

A descriptive text describes a particular object like a place, thing, or

person. What is the author’s purpose in writing a description? The
author wants to describe the particular object by describing its or
his/her specific features to help readers visualize what a person, an
animal, a park, or a thing is like.
How is a descriptive text constructed? It starts with an opening
paragraph. In the paragraph there is a topic sentence that introduces
the object going to be described. A series of paragraphs follow the
opening to describe the parts or the features or the specific
characteristics of the subject.
GRAMMAR REVIEW
Nouns and Adjectives
When describing, writers use many noun phrases in trying to make readers get the
mental picture of what is being described. As you know, noun is a thing, a place, or a
person, an animal, while adjective is a word that describes a noun. An adjective that
describes a noun is called a modifier. A noun that goes with a modifier is called a noun
phrase. Observe where the position of the modifier is.
For example :
Adjectives Nouns Noun phrases
Beautiful Bird Beautiful bird
Unique Monkey Unique monkey
Enormous Nose Enormous nose
White Marble White marble
Intricate Design Intricate design
precious stones Precious stones
