What is a Descriptive Essay?

A descriptive essay paints a picture with words. It describes a person, place, object, or event
in such detail that the reader can visualise it.

Key Elements of Descriptive Essays

1. Sensory Details: Use the five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to create
vivid imagery.
2. Figurative Language: Utilise similes, metaphors, and personification to add depth.
3. Precise Language: Choose specific words to convey the exact image or feeling.
4. Organised Structure: Typically, follow a clear and logical structure, often starting
with a broad introduction and then zooming in on finer details.
