5. The example of descriptive text
My “PUS PUS” Angora Cat
Pus – pus is my beautiful gray’s Angora cat. It walks with confidently,
performing a dance as if he were a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not
appear in its body, because he spends most of his time at home watching
television and growing fat. (IDENTIFICATION)
It likes watching movie. Almost every day my cat watches television
after the feed. Sometimes he eats and watches television in the same
time. (DESCRIPTION)
Pus – pus is as finicky to the visitors. It sometimes begs to be petted,
or it imitates a skunk and stains your favorite trousers. Pus – pus does not do
this to establish his territory, but to attract my attention since he is jealous of
my friends. (DESCRIPTION)
After my guests have gone home, I look at the old fleabag snoozing
and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I should forgive him for
his obnoxious, but endearing, habits. (DESCRIPTION
