DESCRIPTION
THE BACKGROUND
Descriptive text aims at giving vivid details of 
how something or someone looks. A descriptive 
text tells the readers what the thing is, or what the 
thing does. A description should be so unique
that a description of one thing should be different 
from a description from another thing. In other 
words, descriptive text is not used to 
generalize.
Social Function
To describe a particular 
person, place, or thing

Elements of Descriptive writing
 What, Where, When?
 Looks Like?
 Sounds Like?
 Smells Like?
 Feels Like?
 What does it do?
 It is unique because?
 The clause system is dominated with relational and 
material process
 Relational process is much employed to show 
identifications of the thing being described
 material process is used to show what the thing does
 Because descriptive texts show the attributes of the 
thing, most clauses use adjectives.
 The adjectives are mostly descriptive rather than 
attitudinal.
EXAMPLE:
When describing a guava tree in front of your 
house, for example, the description should cover 
the description of the whole tree and its parts like 
the trunk, the branches, leaves, and many other 
parts.
