A description essay is generally developed through sensory details,or the impression of one's senses-sight,hearing.taste,smell and touch.Not all details are useful.The writer should choose those that help to bring out the dominant characteristic or outstanding quality of the person or thing descnbed,and leave those irrelevant ones,which,if included,would only distract the reader's attention from the main impression the writer wishes to give. *Description of a person In describing a person.the writer should not merely give details of his appearance.He should try to reveal the person's character,thoughts and feelings, which may be shown in what the person does and says or in how he behaves to others And it is important to grasp the characteristic features that distinguish him from all other people.Those features that he shares with others can be omitted.Peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of a person if any.should be included in the description,for they usually impress the reader deeply and give life to the person described. Model The sight of him as he came to the ten-o'clock class was in itself something that had to be recognized as dramatic.In the pleasant autumn or spring.men stood high on the steps or out on the turf in front and watched in the direction of Christ church to see who could catch the first glimpse of him. "There he comes!"somebody called,and then everybody who was in a position to see watched him as he hurried breezily along-a graceful,tallish man in very light gray suit and gray fedora hat,with a full square beard at least as white as his suit,who moved with energy,and smoked passionately at a big cigar.Studerts used to say that he smoked an entire cigar while he walked the short distance along the iron fence of the old burying ground and across the street of Johnston gate.But as he came through the gate he tossed the remnant of his cigar into the shrubbery with a bit of a fourish. and the students still outside hurried in and scrambled up the long stairway in order to be in their places -as he liked-before he himself entered.If any of them were still on the stairway when he came in at the outer door like a gust,they gave way and he pushed up past them,and into the good-sized room down the aisle to the front,threw his hat on the table in the comer,mounted the two steps to the platform,looked about him with a commanding eye,and there was sudden silence and unrestrained cxpectancy. (by rollo walter brown) Description of a place Places may be described for their own sake,as in essays on visits to famous scenic places,but also for the purpose of revealing the personality and character of a person,or creating a feeling or moon.A clean and tidy room,for example,might show that the occupant is an orderly person.The howling of a chilly wind.the falling of autumn leaves,a bouse standing in solitude on a barren mountain,all help to build

(by rollo walter brown) Description of a place Places may be described for their own sake, as in essays on visits to famous scenic places, but also for the purpose of revealing the personality and character of a person, or creating a feeling or moon. A clean and tidy room, for example, might show that the occupant is an orderly person. The howling of a chilly wind, the falling of autumn leaves, a house standing in solitude on a barren mountain, all help to build

up a somber mood and increase the feeling of depression.As in describing a person. in describing a place one should mainly write about the things that make it different from other places. Model 1 A free market With a shopping bag in my hand,I entered the gate of the free market near my home.Suddenly a terrible smell reached my nose and I could not help feeling nauseated.Looking around I found that the foul smell came from the poultry stalls on the left side of the street.There,every small cage was packed with four or five chickens oocasionally,the chickens crowed sadly as if they knew they were going to be cooked.The feed stank under the hot summer sun.I put a handkerchief of my nose and hurried away. "Live fish!Fresh and cheap!"a husky voice of a man was heard.In front of his stall,there stood a big canvas bag Inside,a lot of fish were struggling in the turbid( water.They opened their mouths widely to have their last breath of air.terrified at the price,I left for other stalls.Just then a young fellow stopped me and tried to persuade me to buy a chain of garlic in his hand.He was disappointed to see me shaking my bead. Then I came to the vegetable and fruit stalls which made up the busiest section of the market.A good variety of vegetables and fruits could be found here at summertime.Red tomatoes,green cucumbers and peppers were put at the most conspicuous places.the sweet smell of the fruits-peaches,plums,musk melons,and purple-colored grapes-had drawn many customers.The sellers were praising their produce in strong provineial accents and competing with each other by offering lower prices.Housewives would certainly drive a good bargain with the sellers before they really bought anything. At the far end of the market were the clothing stalls.Colorful clothes were hung up high to attract people's attention.There were quite a number of people but only few bought any clothes.A girl had stood at one of the stalls for a long time.Obviously she desired to have that fashionable skirt which was said to be made in Hong Kong But finally she left,for she was unwilling to pay almost her monthly wage of 80 yuan for it.

Model 2 China lies on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. it is surrounded by many neighbors… to the North, south, west, and by the northern sea, east sea and southern sea to the east. It consists of about 26 provinces, (autonomy.). The capital is Peking which is located in the center of Hobei province with Tianjin city to the east locating on the coast of the Buo Sea. And it is 200 kilometers away from Tianjin. China has a total area of about 9,600,000 square kilometers.

The estimated population is about 1,300,000,000.The density of the population is approximately….people per square kilo. Chinese is the language which is spoken predominantly, but in some other places like in Mongolia, Tibet regions and Guangdong, Mongolian, Tibetan and Cantonese are spoken. But Chinese is the official language. most people believe in communism, some people practise Buddhism and Christianity. so when describing a country, we always follow this---location, area, terrain, climate, and population, language, religion. Description of an object To describe an object we have to depend on our senses, because we need to mention its size, shape, color, texture, taste, and smell. It is also necessary to tell how it is used if it is useful, and what part it plays in a person’s life if it is in some way related to him. But emphasis should be placed on only one aspect of the object, probably its most important characteristic. Description of a scene A scene is sometimes the main part of an essay, and sometimes only an episode in a long narrative. It usually consists of three basic factors: the setting, the people, and the action. It is also possible to describe the scene of some natural phenomenon. Again, the writer should try to create a dominant impression when describing a scene. Before he begins to write, he must make up his mind as to what effect he want the description to achieve. This will help him to decide which details to delete and which to include. (eg: see the text in unit 4, p152)
