What is description?

A description is a form of expression that serves to provide information about the appearance of a character, object, animal, phenomenon. We describe the situation, landscape, weather or work of art. A typical description of an object should contain i.e.: information about its shapeshapeshape, size, colourcolourcolour, material that it is made of, its purposepurposepurpose, properties, advantages, disadvantages, distinguishing features. In literary texts, descriptions serve to show the character, the place of action, and describe the background of events. Description works on our imagination, so it is worth using a variety of language resources to colour it. The skill of describing will be useful not only during Polish classes, but in everyday life, for example, when we write an advertisement about the sale or losing something.

The first stage of every description includes a thorough observation of the object. Then, we collect information about it and gather the vocabulary. To avoid repetitions, we use synonyms, periphrasis of the described object. After that, we should group the collected information by subject in separate paragraphs and decide on the order they appear in the description. It is worth to apply the principle: from the general to the detail. At the end, we read the entire text, remove the repetitions, check whether we have not abused the verb „to be”, or whether we have used various sentences. Editing, correction and additions are necessary.

Surprising comparisons, unusual metaphors, idioms will emphasize the attractiveness of the description.
