DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH
INTRODUCTION
A description is a set of characteristics by which someone or
something can be recognised. We can describe people, places
and events. By describing them we make a sketch in words so
that the reader is able to get a clear picture of the described
object. A good description creates a clear mental image in the
mind of the reader.
When we write a descriptive paragraph-

1.We are describing something.
2.When we do this, we must use wording that will allow our

readers to be able to see what we are writing about without being
able to actually “see” it.
3.The types of words to use are strong verbs and colourful

adjectives.
Writing a Descriptive Paragraph -

1.Title is required.
2.A good paragraph needs to have a topic sentence that

addresses the main point; details that help describe and support
the topic sentence; and a concluding sentence that reviews what
the paragraph was about.
