 WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE WRITING?


 It is a form of writing which is used to
describe things effectively, and create a
vivid picture in the reader’s mind.
 It is used to describe any :-
- Person (Family relatives, Neighbours, Celebrity)
- Place (Man-made, Natural, Imaginary)
- Event (Parties, Festivals)
Its description…

 It creates a picture of a person, place, thing or event. It
tells us what something actually looks-like, sounds-
like, smells-like, tastes-like or feels-like.
 It usually provides all the details about
them- person, place, thing or event, it
allows the reader to experience what you
have.
 In order to make the writing more attractive and
effective, you must appeal to the
five senses and create pictures in the
reader’s mind.
 Plan...

members, acknowledgement, a small description on descriptive writing,
plan, decision making, set of questions, outcome of the interview,
descriptive writing on what we had learnt from the interview, and lastly, a
slide expressing our gratitude. Thirdly, we had met our honored guest who
was also a main member of our project. To have the interview we had to
decide the procedures. After that, when we finally had the complete details
which we needed, we were ready to complete the notes in the slides of
PPT. After it’s completion, we took a couple of days to surf through the PPT
and correct any plausible mistakes. And Finally, we had finalized it.

Interview & Its outcome…

Meeting and having a talk with Dr. Sushant Kumar, an IIT
Professor, was immensely pleasing. To conduct the interview,
we, Aryan and Akshat, met him at his home. Over a lot of
millions of students have a dream of getting admission into
IITs and only few talented students are selected and he is one
of the Professor who lectures them, i.e., the talented future
engineers. IIT conducts India’s second hardest exam, the
lakhs of candidates appear in it and only a few are
selected and he lectures all of them as a Professor in
very low age.
Interview & Its outcome…

His talking skills were excellent, so we felt like this skill should be
mastered. He explained us the importance of the education, and how a
literate man differs from an illiterate one. He is a very humble and kind
hearted person, also he answered all our questions we asked and also he
treated us in a very loving manner.
He said that a mixture of education with good personality and virtues
makes up an inspirational person. Certain skills are very useful in our
daily life, and we should learn as many skills as we can do to gain the
knowledge and experience. We learnt a lot from his behaviour and
personality. At last, we thank him with all our
heart for his co-operation, through which, we learnt a lot
about him. His knowledge and view on life will forever
inspire us to do better.
A Descriptive Writing on the
outcome of this Interview…

Dr. Sushant Kumar, born Patna, is probably one of the most
inspiring personalities. Characteristically, his first words
were a respectful “Good Morning!”. As we were with him
during the interview, we gained uncommon respect for
him. He was behaving this much friendly with us that we
cannot realize that when we got friendly with him.
He was very comfortable with us and soon we
too. We are pretty sure that he is a very kind and
humble person as while taking interview, we
asked many questions to him, he answered
all of them very truthfully, no falsehoodness has been
shown to us. After answering all the questions,
he thanked us which shows his gratefulness.
