Description of a place

Just as an artist uses paint to create a picture, a writer uses words to create a description... Descriptive writing creates a picture of a person, place, thing or event. A description essay is generally developed through sensory details. Here are some tips about the description.

1. Selecting details: The writer should choose those that help to bring out the dominant characteristic.

2. Catching the features of the place: You should mainly write about the things that make it different from other places.

3. Giving your view points: Places may be described for their own sake, as in essays on visits to famous scenic places.

4. Giving your purpose: You should describe the place for the purpose of revealing the personality and character of a person, or creating a feeling or mood.
