"DESCRIPTION TEXT''


Description Text Definition

Descriptive text serves to explain something. Whether it's a person, object, event, or place. Descriptive text provides a detailed explanation so that the reader understands the object of information sought.


🖇️ Descriptive Text Structure

The following are two descriptive text structures.

• Identification (Introduction/classification)

Answers questions about what specific topic, person, idea, or thing is being described or explained and how it is being described or explained.


🖇️ Description (Distinctive features) 

answers questions about what features or characteristics are important to remember or understand about the topic being described.


🖇️ Language in Descriptive Texts

In addition, there are some linguistic features in description texts. 


🖇️ Specific participants

This can be something that is not common and is usually unique because it is the only one in the world.


🖇️ Adjectives used

It can be adjectives, adjective phrases, or / and adjective clauses.


🖇️ Use of simple present tense

Used in sentences that express activities or facts that happen in the present. This tense uses only one verb. 


🖇️ Use of action verbs

Action verbs are verbs, such as run, think, or calm, that express something that a person, animal, thing, or process in nature does.


🖇️ Figurative language

Usually using a metaphor to provide an illustration to the reader.


2. Recommendations for Teachers

After understanding the basic theory about descriptive text, I would like to recommend some learning approaches to teachers:

- Modeling: Teachers can model the effective use of descriptive language through examples of good descriptive texts. 

- Repeated Practice: Students need to be given opportunities to practice writing descriptive texts periodically.

- Formative Evaluation: Teachers need to provide regular formative assessment of students' progress in writing descriptive texts.

Education is the key to success and prosperity, and making it accessible to all will lead to a better society. Additionally, countries that provide free college education have higher rates of college graduates and a more educated workforce, which in turn leads to economic growth. Furthermore, providing free college education will reduce the burden of student debt. Many students graduate from college with significant debt, which can take years to pay off. This debt can limit their career choices and delay their ability to start a family or purchase a home.
