Descriptive Writing
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Descriptive writing is one of the two composition choices on Paper 2 Section B, and it is worth a full 40 marks. Its job is not to tell a story but to paint a place, a moment or a person so vividly that the reader can see, hear and feel it. The best descriptions are made of precise, closely observed detail and a controlling atmosphere, not general scenery and not a chain of events. The single most common way candidates lose marks here is to drift into narrative; this lesson shows you how to stay in description and make it sing.
You will learn how the 40 marks split (16 for content and structure, 24 for style and accuracy), how to choose specific over stereotyped detail, how to build atmosphere through the senses, and how to give a description shape instead of a list. You will see flat sentences rewritten into vivid ones, a fully annotated model paragraph, and a complete worked task with a model response.
