You can write a personal essay about something that happened in your life, or you can choose a formal descriptive essay and describe an incident that happened to a famous person.  \nLearn English: Life Events and Narrative Tenses  \nWriting Tips  \nWhat is a descriptive essay and its types?  \nA descriptive essay describes objects, people, locations, experiences, feelings, situations, or events. It is often called the “parent” essay because other essay types (argumentative, expository, narrative) have some characteristics of descriptive essays.  \nWhen you write a descriptive essay, you want to give the reader a full overview of the topic by relating to all five senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight. There are many types of  \ndescriptive essays, but two of the most common are the personal essay and the formal descriptive essay.  \nPersonal Essay  \nTo write a good personal essay, you should only write about things that come from your own experiences. You should utilize colorful, passionate words in this type of essay.  \nSome ideas for personal essay subjects include:  \nDescribe the most memorable memory of your childhood.  \nWrite about your best friend and how you met.  \nDescribe your favorite movie and how it made you feel.  \nFormal Descriptive Essay  \nIn a formal descriptive essay, different information is linked to each other to give the most complete picture possible of the topic. Your goal is not to make an argument or convince the reader but to present a series of key points.  \nSome topics for formal descriptive essays include: Researching a historical event in chronological order A report on the news that includes a summary of the event Describing a specific location  \nFor more information and examples of descriptive essays, visit:  \n[https://www.collegeessay.org/blog/descriptive-essay-writing/descriptive-essay-examples](https://www.collegeessay.org/blog/descriptive-essay-writing/descriptive-essay-examples)","cbCaifLn6hkTtdYi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifLn6hkTtdYi","pdf",2542405,"English","# Student Writing Practice\n## Writing Tips\n## Personal Essay\n## Formal Descriptive Essay\n## Additional Resources","[{\"question\":\"How should a student choose an event for writing?\",\"answer\":\"Choose an interesting event and write either a personal essay about something from your life or a formal descriptive essay about an incident involving a famous person.\"},{\"question\":\"What is a descriptive essay and what sensory detail should it include?\",\"answer\":\"A descriptive essay presents objects, people, places, experiences, feelings, situations, or events and gives the reader a full overview using all five senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the key difference between a personal essay and a formal descriptive essay?\",\"answer\":\"A personal essay uses only your own experiences with colorful, passionate words, while a formal descriptive essay links information to present a complete picture without arguing or convincing the reader.\"}]","Learn English - Life Events and Narrative Tenses - Student Writing Practice | PDF",1790079822]
