This document provides guidance on how to write a descriptive essay. It explains that descriptive essays aim to give readers insight into a personal experience of the writer by using vivid details and observations. Good topics include objects, experiences, places, people, or memories that influenced the writer. The key is to "show, not tell" by including specific examples and words that convey emotions, rather than just stating facts. Writers should select important details to describe and avoid unnecessary information, focusing on creating a clear picture and impression for the reader.

2. Descriptive essays are intended to
give the reader information about
personal experience of the writer
and create a vivid impression for the
readers.

3. Other essays focus on presenting
data from researches and studies
but these works can be successful
only if the writer is using detailed
observations about something that
had an influence on his or her life.

4. FOR EXAMPLE, DESCRIPTIVE
ESSAYS CAN USE THE
FOLLOWING TO CREATE
TOPICS:

5. AN OBJECT
AN EXPERIENCE
A PLACE
A PERSON
A MEMORY

6. As we see, it is very
important to share the
information that was
influential and
relevant to the writer.

7. Otherwise the content will not
be interesting to read. In the
end, anything that you can
experience can be a topic for
your descriptive essay.

8. Many professional writers say
that the key to success here is
not to show but tell. Let’s
examine the difference
between showing and telling.

9. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE OF A SENTENCE IS JUST
TELLING:
I was negatively impressed by the basketball game.
 The sentence describes the event but does not really give any
information about how you felt. The reader would not even
know whether your team won or lost. You need to make this
sentence broader and show your feelings and emotions that
caused your impression.

10. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAYS:
• As I returned home after the basketball game, my
mood was really down because we could not lose to
a team that was played much worse. I felt really
frustrated and did not want to speak to anybody.

11. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAYS:
 This sentence shows your reader exactly how you felt and
describes the reason that you felt bad.
 Moreover, it gives information about the event so it is easy to
understand what was wrong.
 The readers would feel more connected to this style of writing
and might even allow them to imagine the situation of the
writer and express their own thoughts.

12. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAYS:
 So it is important to provide as much details as you can but
stay to your point.
 Identify all elements which are important to your description
of the topic and give the readers details about them.
 Ensure that the elements will help your audience to create
their own impressions based on your paper.

13. NO UNNECESSARY INFORMATION!
 Avoid using unnecessary information; otherwise the paper
will have parts that distract the reader.
 Also it is essential to include words that convey your feelings
and emotions.
 Descriptive essay must have logical flow of presenting the
subject in order to deliver the information in the most effective
way.

14. NO UNNECESSARY INFORMATION!
 Keep in mind that descriptive essays might use even some
minor details which ultimately can be a key to success.
 The work is about emotions and experience so it is a good
idea to leave some requirements of academic style of writing.

15. NO UNNECESSARY INFORMATION!
 Not all of them, of course.
 So if you follow these simple recommendations, writing your
descriptive essay will be rewarding and rich experience and
