1. Descriptive Paragraph Reading and Writing 1

2. My son, Burak My eight-year-old son, Burak, is different from other children because of his distinctive appearance and personality. The first thing I notice when I look at him is his size. He stands at shoulder height next to me; indeed, he is taller than other children of his age and is definitely stronger. Also, his red hair is remarkable, as it is thick and stylish. He has freckles on his face. His eyes are bright blue, and his eyebrows are blond. His lips are thick and somewhat feminine, and he has gaps in his teeth. His shoulders are broad, and his belly is plump. When we hold hands, you can see that his hands are as large as my hands. His legs are strong, and his knees are covered with purple bruises because he always falls down while skateboarding and biking. Despite his appearance, Burak is sensitive and caring; in fact, he still likes to sit on my lap. He likes to open doors for me, look after his little brother, and help me grocery shop. To sum up, although he is only eight years old, he is big and strong, but at the same time, he is loving and gentle.

3. The beach in Hawaii A beach in Hawaii is like a paradise. To start with, the beach smells fresh like a new ocean air freshener. The sand is so hot that when you walk on it after the sea, you feel like you walk on a burning grill. Not far from the shore, you can see the palm trees. They sway in the air from the strong wind. In the distance, there is a beautiful house by the water, so you can see the navy-blue ocean every day. People are laughing and playing on the burning sand, and others are relaxing on the beach, sunbathing. They seem to enjoy the bright rays of the sun. From a far distance, the ocean is a deep navy blue; waves come in like a bulldozer from all the wind. But at night, everything is still and quiet. You can only hear the waves of the ocean and the light wind that comes from the huge palm trees. To sum up, this beach is an amazing place for a perfect summer holiday.

4. The shared refrigerator My roommate and I share a refrigerator. My roommate has half of our refrigerator, which is very neat. On the top shelf is a carton of milk, a pitcher of orange juice, and a bottle of mineral water. These are arranged in a straight line on the shelf. On the next shelf are cans of soda. These are carefully lined up in rows. Orange soda is in the first row, Pepsi in the second, and 7-Up in the third. On the third shelf, he keeps dairy foods such as butter, cheese, eggs, and yogurt. On the bottom shelf are plastic containers for leftovers. These are neatly arranged by size. The large ones are in the back, and the small ones are in the front. There are two drawers at the bottom of the refrigerator. In his drawer, he keeps vegetables and fruit, and each item is in a separate plastic bag. My roommate is an organized person, and half of our refrigerator really reflects his personality.

5. What is a descriptive paragraph? A descriptive paragraph is a focused and detail-rich account of a specific topic. Describes how something or someone looks or feels. Include how the writer feels. Shows the reader rather than tells. Creates a sensory image in the reader's mind.

6. Descriptive paragraphs let the reader touch, taste, see, hear, and smell what you are describing. The reader should feel as if they can see what you are describing clearly. You want to paint a picture as you write the descriptive paragraph.

7. Here are a few guidelines to help you write a great descriptive paragraph. 1. Describe particular smells and tastes in the paragraph. Use the most descriptive words possible to allow the reader to smell or taste what you are describing. 2. Add the senses of touch and hearing to your paragraph wherever possible. Describe certain textures and sounds.

8. 3. Use 'like and as' when you write your descriptive paragraph. These devices strengthen your paragraph if used properly. E.g., my best friend is like the sun in my life. 4: Insert descriptive adjectives to modify your nouns. Don't just say "ocean." Describe the actual colors you see in the ocean. Use more descriptive words, such as deep, dark blue ocean.
