Do you know what is Descriptive Text?

Let's see at this material carefully.

1. The Definition and Purpose of Descriptive Text

Descriptive text is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.

2. The Generic Structure of Descriptive Text

• Identification: (contains about the introduction of a person, place, animal or object will be described.)
• Description: contains a description of something such as animal, things, place or person by describing its features, forms, colors, or anything related to what the writer describe.

3. The Language Feature of Descriptive Text

• Specific participant : has a certain object, is not common and unique (only one). for example: Bandengan beach, my house, Borobudur temple, uncle Jim
• Use of the adjective (an adjective) to clarify the noun, for example: a beautiful beach, a handsome man, the famous place in jepara, etc.
• Use of simple present tense: The sentence pattern used is simple present because it tells the fact of the object described.
• Action verb: verbs that show an activity (for example, run, sleep, walk, cut etc….

Louvre – Famous Museum in the Heart of Paris 💛

Identification :

Louvre is one of the most famous museums in the world. Situated in the heart of Paris along the Seine River, it presents its visitors with an impressive collection of art from all over the world. Almost 10 million people visit the Louvre every year. The museum has over a million pieces of art, but at the moment only 35,000 are on display, spread over an area of 60 000 square meters.

The Louvre was built as a fortress in the 12th century. As time went on it expanded, as some parts were rebuilt and new wings added. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Louvre served as the royal palace for French kings. It became an art museum when the French king Louis XVI moved his residence to Versailles. During the French Revolution, the Louvre became a public museum. New collections have been added ever since.

 

Description :

The museum offers collections ranging from early Mesopotamia, ancient Greece and Egypt, the Roman Empire down to the impressionists of the 19th century.

The most famous painting in the Louvre is Leonardo da Vinci’s, Mona Lisa. The Renaissance painting is protected by bulletproof glass and flanked by museum guards. Other popular works of art include the Code of Hammurabi, the Venus of Milo and The Dying Slave by Michelangelo.

IN the 1980s, the Louvre was completely redesigned. A gigantic complex was built under the courtyard. In front of the Louvre, there is a glass pyramid, through which people enter the museum. It is in contrast to the baroque architecture of the museum itself.

The Louvre consists of three separate wings that span four floors. It is so huge that you simply cannot see everything in a single day. The museum offers many guided tours ranging from introductory tours that show the museum’s masterpieces to theme tours of a specific period of art.
