DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

 Descriptive Text

Hi Everyone, back to my blogs again, and then we will learning about what is a descriptive text, structure of descriptive text, language features in descriptive text, and much more. The article i wrote is based on learning at my school, from my teachers, the website, and the SPLASH class XI school textbook.

A. Descriptive Text Definition 

        Descriptive text is text where the main idea is conveyed by describing certain objects, places and events in detail. Descriptive text also has the aim of describing something related to experience based on observations from all five senses : feeling, hearing, touching, smelling and seeing. From there, the writer can create the reader's imagination so that they can directly experience what is discussed in the text.

B. Descriptive Text Structure

          Here the two structures of a descriptive text :

•       Identification (introduction/classification), introduce the topic, person, idea, or thing that is being described or explained and how the topic being described or explained.
•    Description (characteristic features), describe the features or characteristics that are important to remember or understand about the topic being described.

C. Language Features In Descriptive Text

        • Specific participant

            It can be something which is not common and usually unique because it is the only one in the             world.

        • Adjective

            They can be adjectives, adjective phrases, or land adjective clauses.

        • Simple present tense

            Is used in sentences that express activities or facts that happen in the present. This tense                uses only one verb.

        • Action verbs

            Use verbs that indicate an activity or an activity that can be seen. For example, sleep, walk,                sing, dance, etc.

        • Figurative language

            Usually using a metaphor to provide an illustration to the reader.
