Describe



=Describing = When you describe, you need to give lots of detail and make the words interesting for others to read. For example, if you wanted to describe your home, you wouldn't just write lots of facts, like this:

 My house was built in 1972 of wood brick with a green tin roof. The house has a small deck in the front and a car park. The garden is really tiny...

This gives lots of facts, but these are the types of facts that someone buying a house might need. Most people would find a description like this boring. So what should you do? The first thing is to think about what you want to show other people. Do you want to concentrate on the roof colour or the types of windows used? Or do you want to tell them about the fence panel your brother broke when he was chasing you last summer? You could also write about the time Stephanie threw a tennis ball and it got stuck in the guttering - it's still there - and when it rains really hard the gutter overflows. You might even have a gnome in the front garden, which your grandad bought - it looks stupid, but you won't move it in case you offend him. Each of these details is far more interesting than roof tiles or measurements. So, when you are describing something, think of drawing a picture or taking a photograph. You focus on a certain point, write a paragraph about it, then move to the next point and the next.
