Descriptive text is not just about saying what we see, but
                        also  how  we  feel.  For  example,  we  don't  just  say  that  the
                        flower  is  red,  but  we  can  add  that  the  red  color  burns  like

                        dancing fire. In other words, descriptive text invites us to use
                        our five senses sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch to create
                        a complete and comprehensive picture.

                             When we learn to write descriptive text, it is important
                        to  use  a  variety  of  adjectives  and  adverbs  to  describe  our
                        subject. For example, instead of simply saying "the house was
                        large,"  we  could  say  "the  house  was  large  and  magnificent,

                        with large windows that gleamed in the sunlight." By adding
                        details  like  this,  we  make  our  descriptions  more  interesting
                        and easier for readers to imagine.

                             Today, we will learn how to write descriptive text that is
                        able  to  describe  something  clearly  and  vividly.  We  will

                        practice using various techniques and strategies to make our
                        descriptions more interesting and effective. That way, we can
                        bring our readers into the experience we are having, as if they
                        were  there  with  us.  Let's  start  this  adventure  and  see  how
                        creatively we can describe the world around us!.

                    General
                     In descriptive text, the general purpose is to describe, express,
                     or describe the characteristics of people, things, animals,
                     places, and so on (Junaili, 2020).
                    Creating visualization in the minds of readers i.e. students.
                              In daily life, sometimes it is difficult for people to say
                      directly about something that they do not know what it is
                      called. Then, the way out is by giving detailed characteristics of
