  1. Generic Structure of Descriptive Text.


  • Identification

A section that contains an introduction and an overview of a topic. Identification serves as the recognition of what we describe. so that readers or listeners do not misunderstand. In the introduction, it should also mention the reasons why the author chose that place to be told.

  • Description

In the description section contains all the general to special characteristics or traits contained in the object, person, or animal that you are describing. For example, when we tell about a place, we can start from the overall characteristics of a place such as how the scenery, buildings, weather, etc., then refer to details that specifically explain the previous general explanation.

Now let's look at the generic structure of the Descriptive Text below:



My Dog

(Identification)

My father bought me a dog on my birthday. This is a male golden retriever. I love her very much as my pet. 


(Caption)

His name is Jiji. He has brown fur. His fur is very soft and he likes to be rubbed on his tummy. He has a long tail and a large body. I always take her for walks because she loves it so much. Jiji has become part of our family.


Explanation:

  • The first paragraph is Identification because it tells the generality of the whole story. As the author gave a male dog that was given to him by his father on his birthday.

  • The second paragraph is a general to specific description or general explanation. Like that the name of the dog in the text above is Jiji with soft brown fur, also told how the nature and habits of the dog.

  • Characteristics of Descriptive Text

Using Simple Present Tense. This tense is used because in descriptive text we will explain a fact or truth contained in a thing or person. Using a lot of adjectives. Adjectives are used because in descriptive texts we will describe the properties of an object, human, or animal. We will often find a lot of "is" or connecting verbs in descriptive texts. because 'is' means 'is' which refers to the explanation of the thing, person or animal we are describing. Descriptive text only focuses on explaining one object.

A Tree

 

          There are three main parts of a tree. They are the crown, stem, and root. The crown is at the top of the tree. Consists of leaves, branches, and twigs. The crown filters dust and other particles from the air. Leaves produce food for the tree through photosynthesis.

          The trunk or trunk supports the crown and gives the tree its shape and strength. The stem consists of several layers. The layers carry water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves, and they carry sugar down from the leaves to the branches, stems and roots.

          Tree roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil, store sugar and hold the tree upright in the soil. Some roots can drop more than four meters.
