Descriptive Text

What is a descriptive text? This might be the question that come into people's mind when talking about descriptive text. Since I teach this kind of text to the sixth grade. I try to make the explanation simple. I sum up this from various resources.

Descriptive text is a text written to describe something. The purpose of descriptive text is to describe an object, a person or a place. It is expected that the readers can form a picture in their minds.

To write a description, we can use 5 senses. Those are:
  • Sight
  • Smell
  • Touch
  • Taste
  • Hearing

A descriptive text mostly uses simple present. The structure of the text are:
  • Statement (introduction)
  • Sequence of descriptive fact 

Below are the example of descriptive text. Click on the title.
