Page 11 - DESCRIPTIVE

b. Describe an object or place

Writers can also describe objects or places that have a special

relationship with themselves. This could be high school, a playground,

or a toy that used to scare you as a child. Fictional places can be

included too! For example :

• My native city – Indonesia

• My Trip to Sulawesi

c. Describe an emotion

Remember the most genuine emotions the writer has ever

experienced and turn them into a descriptive essay writing. You can

choose strong feelings such as anger, happiness, loss, desire, or

anger. It doesn't have to be a personal emotion, it can be an

observable emotion. For example:

• How love changed me

• Hatred and love -how they are similar

Writing any descriptive essay can be described according to

the human senses: touch, sight, taste, smell, or hearing

4. Social Function

The social function of writing descriptions is to describe a person,

place, or thing by means of an image that is formed in the mind of a reader.

Capturing an event through written descriptions that have detailed things

that are used by the five senses in a clear, detailed, and visualizable way.
