What is Descriptive Writing?

Descriptive writing is a piece of text, in which you describe any specific thing, place, or experience using describing words-adjectives. Descriptive writing is a very interesting topic as it allows to describe each and everything and emotions as well.

Now let's have a look at some tips on how to write a descriptive essay.

Tips

1)Give a very catchy title to your essay. This grabs the reader's attention and makes the essay much more appealing.

2)Divide your essay into four to five paragraphs. This gives an idea that a new concept is introduced.

3)Use adjectives, adverbs, and figurative language to make your essay look appealing.

4) Also, use figures of speech - Simile, Metaphor, Alliteration, and Onomatopoeia in order to make the reader enjoy your piece of writing.

Now let's have a look at the format of Descriptive Writing in detail.

Format:

1) Catchy title

2) First paragraph - Give a smooth start to your essay by creating an atmosphere (setting).

3) Second Paragraph and Third Paragraph - This is the body of the essay, so, it should have all the details about the journey such as - where, when, how, why, and what.

4) Fourth Paragraph - In this paragraph, you have to give the description of the feelings and what was your experience - Did you learn something new? or Was there something that taught you a lesson.

One of the most important tips for writing a descriptive essay is that you need to add imagery. Imagery is the five senses which make the essay come to life and give the reader a feeling of experiencing each and every moment of the scene.

The five imageries are:

1) Vision

2) Smell

3) Taste

4) Sound

5) Touch
