What is
descriptive text
A descriptive text is a kind of written or spoken text that provides
detailed information about a particular person, place, animal, object,
or event. It describes the features, characteristics, or qualities of the
subject so that the readers or listeners can form a clear mental picture
of it.
The main purpose of a descriptive text is to describe something or
someone in detail so that the audience can imagine the subject vividly.
Descriptive texts are commonly used in travel brochures, biographies,
personal diaries, nature articles, and fictional stories where clear
imagery is important.

English in my class. He has been teaching for more than 10
years and is very popular among students. He is tall and
wears glasses. He always dresses neatly and speaks politely.
Mr. Dimas is very friendly and helpful. He explains the lessons
clearly and patiently. When students don’t understand, he
gives examples and makes jokes to help us feel relaxed. His
class is always fun and exciting. He also encourages us to
read English books and write in our journals.
