What to Focus On

  • Descriptive writing creates a picture in the reader’s mind.
  • It uses sensory words linked to smell, touch, sight, taste, and sound.
  • Evocative words make writing stronger and more effective.

  • Organise thoughts before writing.
  • Jot down ideas first.
  • A mind map helps arrange points clearly.

  • Appearance includes physical features, clothing, speech, and movement.
  • Background includes family history and significant life events.
  • Emotions show feelings or behaviour, including hidden feelings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A descriptive composition is just a long list of facts.

Any adjective is enough to make writing vivid.

Descriptive writing should stay vague so that it sounds artistic.

Memory Tips

Before writing, organise thoughts and jot down ideas

A mind map can be used to organise ideas before writing

Sensory words relate to smell, touch, sight, taste, and sound

Two or three words describing the writer's own feelings should be included while jotting down ideas
