Descriptive writing aims to vividly describe people, places, events, or things through detailed observations of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures. It creates a clear mental image for the reader using rich, colorful language. Some examples include descriptions of a sunset filling the sky with ruby colors, waves gracefully dancing along a shore, and a field of flowers beckoning to be picked. Descriptive writing brings words to life through evocative details.

2. Descriptive Texts
• In descriptive writing, the author does not tell
the reader what was seen, felt, tested, smelled,
or heard. Rather, he describes something that
he experienced and, through his choice of words,
makes it seem real. In other words, descriptive
writing is vivid, colorful, and detailed.

3. Bringing words to life
• Descriptive writing creates an impression in the
reader’s mind of an event, a place, a person or thing.
• The writing will be such that it will set a mood or
describe something in such detail that if the reader
saw it, they would recognize it. Descriptive writing will
bring words to life and makes the text interesting.

4. Some examples of descriptive text
include:
•The sunset filled the entire sky with the deep color of rubies, setting
the clouds ablaze.
•The waves crashed and danced along the shore, moving up and down
in a graceful and gentle rhythm like they were dancing.
•The painting was a field of flowers, with deep and rich blues and
yellows atop vibrant green stems that seemed to beckon you to reach
right in and pick them.

5. • The old man was stooped and bent, his back making the
shape of a C and his head bent so far forward that his
beard would nearly have touched his knobby knees had he
been just a bit taller.
• His deep and soulful blue eyes were like the color of the
ocean on the clearest day you can ever imagine.
• The soft fur of the dog felt like silk against my skin and her
black coloring glistened as it absorbed the sunlight,
reflecting it back as a perfect, deep, dark mirror.

6. Bandengan Beach
• The white sandy beach which has pure water is good for
swimming. The beach is save enough for swimming because
the beach is shallow and the wave is not so big. This place is
more beautiful at dusk. We can see the beautiful sunset with
our family or friends. In this location, we can sit and relax on
the shelter while enjoy the natural beach breezy wind. It also
has large pandan tree field. It is suitable for youngster
activities such as camping.
