Description
❖ Description is the type of writing that helps the reader to see what someone/some place/something is like.
❖ Or we may say description is painting a picture in words of a person, place, object, or scene.
General and Specific Words for Good Description
❖ Specific words help to make writing clear, exact, vivid, and striking, for they are more informative and expressive than general words. Compare:
General and Specific Words for Good Description
❖ General: It is often windy and dusty here in spring. Specific: In spring there is often a very strong northwest wind. It carries so much fine dust with it that sometimes the sun becomes obscure. There is no escape from the fine dust; it gets into your eyes, your ears, your nostrils, and your hair. It goes through the cracks of closed windows and covers your desks and chairs.
Note: Few descriptions outside of science writing, however, are completely objective.
Ways to develop a description essay

❖ a good man ❖ kind, honest, just, generous, sympathetic, warm-
hearted, selfless, brave, honorable ❖ good food ❖ tasty, delicious, nourishing, rich, wholesome, fresh,
❖ Leave out the irrelevant ones and keep those which help to bring out the dominant characteristic or outstanding quality of the person or thing described. (sample 1)

❖ Subjective description---the writer is free to interpret details for the reader/ audience.
❖ A description essay is generally developed through sensory details, or the impressions of one’s senses---sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch,etc.
