CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Description Title

What do you know about descriptive text? Generally, a descriptive

text can be defined as an English writing text that provides details
information about something specific as the object. Many things can
certainly be the object of a descriptive text. Description text is a text
created to explain what someone (a person) or something (a thing) is

like. It usually aims to describe and reveal a particular object,
whether about people, place, animal, thing, or even a specific
activity. The writer of a description text often uses this text to bring
his/her writing to life by forming a vivid image in the reader’s mind.

Then, have you ever described an object in specific? Most people seem
to use any description in their daily life to describe or explain the
object that is being discussed. Let’s say when you want to tell your
friend that there is a white cat walking in front of you. The sentence

‘the white can’ is actually a simple sentence of descriptive statement.

Now, did you know how to create a good descriptive text? A
descriptive text definitely should be written in a good structure and

consider the use of language features related. There are two main
structures and several language features, that should be considered
to be able to create a good and structural descriptive text, for
instance: using the simple present tense, word references, etc. This is

done to make it look nicer.
