WHAT’S
DESCRIPTIVE TEXT?
Meaning.
Descriptive text is a text that
explains what a person, place,
or thing is like, often
providing a visual experience
through the use of adjectives
and adverbs.

When writing, authors will use descriptive

Adjectives are words that describe a extent something takes place.
person, place, or thing. Using them can help
the reader better understand how
something looks, feels, sounds, and more. “She walked slowly”
“The fluffy white dog ran to its owner.”
Let’s look at this sentence:
She walked through the forest
This sentence describes what the person is doing—walking through the forest—but doesn’t
tell us anything else about what is happening in the scene. Let’s take this same sentence
and use adjectives and adverbs to make the text more descriptive:
She walked slowly through the lush and green forest
Here, the adverb slowly tells us how she walked, and the adjectives lush and green tell us
what the forest looks like. This sentence is much more descriptive than the first sentence
and paints a clear picture of what the writer wants to convey.

The Structure. There are two generic structures of
descriptive writing: identification and
description.
Identification is to introduce the person,
place and the object.
The description gives the detail of the

Example 1.
I have a favorite idol named Jeong Jaehyun. He is a member of a Korean boy
group named NCT. He was born on February 14th, 1997 and now he is 23 years
old. He is 183 cm tall. He has very white skin which makes him called ‘Casper’.
According to some sources, he has an ideal body proportion. His legs are long.
He also has broad shoulders. His hair looks very soft and his eyebrows are
thick. He also has pointed nose. One charming point that everybody would
notice is his dimple. He has very deep dimples on his chubby cheeks and they
are clearly visible when he smiles. Despite having several nicknames, most of
his fans often call him ‘peach’ because of his rosy cheeks. He is also called
‘bread’. This is because he often makes a facial expression which makes him
look like a bread. He also has a lot of talents. He can sing, rap, and dance well.
He is also good at sports and playing musical instruments such as piano.
Moreover, he is also adept at cooking meat so that he has a nickname 'Jung
Jaeyuk' which means meat.
