Descriptive writing

Descriptive writing vividly portrays a person, place, or thing in such a way that the reader can visualize the topic and enter into the writer’s experience.

Example : Informative Description

A visit to the Supermaket

One afternoon, my elder sister took me to the super-market near our house. She had wanted to buy some things in order to make a cake.
A uniformed guard was stationed at the supermarket's entrance. He obviously on the lookout for shoplifters.
Inside the supermarket I could see shelves and shelves of goods on display. There were so many different types of things on sale that it was impossible to name them all. In general goods were placed together under different sections. There were sections on frozen food, grocery, confectionery, stationery, toys, hardware, electrical goods, clothes, watches, sports equipment, shoes and others.
We wandered around for a while just looking at the things on sale. When we had looked to our hearts' content we walked over to the grocery section to buy what we intend to.
Then we checked out at the exit. My sister bought us an ice-cream each which we enjoyed all the way home.
