What is a Descriptive essay?

A descriptive essay paints a picture with words. A writer might

describe a person, place, object, situation, or even memory of

special significance. The descriptive essay strives to

communicate a deeper meaning through the description.

Every essay has three parts introduction, body, conclusion. In

a five-paragraph essay, the first paragraph is the introduction.

The next three paragraphs consist of the body of the essay. The

fifth and the final paragraph is the conclusion.

Given below is an example of a descriptive essay.

Read carefully.

A DAY WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

Introduction: Of all the inventions during the last two centuries, the invention of

electricity has been the most wonderful and useful. Everywhere we find ourselves amid

the various kinds of appliances based on electricity. But seldom do we realize how much

we depend on it for the comfort of our daily life. This is because electricity is easily

available to us. We realize the importance only when for a moment it stops working. I

happened to realize its importance and power when in the month of July, we had to go

without electricity for a full day.

Body: It was 7.30 p.m. when there was a power break-down

following a heavy thunderstorm. It not only uprooted the electric

poles but damaged the transformer which supplied electricity to

our locality. We had to live in dark for the whole night. We

reported to the exchange, but the response was irritating than

satisfying, as it would take twelve hours or so to regain the power

supply.

We were to a great hardship. At night I could not study, though I

tried to study in candlelight, but I found myself unable to

concentrate. There was hardly a speck of light visible. The whole colony was

enveloped in “eternal gloom”. It looked like the city of the dead. There was no

activity in the market too with all the shops closed.

The next morning newspaper reported several cases of accidents and incidents of

robbery in various parts of our locality. As in the absence of light, robbers had a golden

chance to rob. In the absence of streetlight, the fast-moving vehicles collided and led to

serious accidents. All the road crossings where automatic signals were installed went

out of order.

In school we could hardly concentrate on our lessons. The time seemed to drag on

forever while we perspired in the humid atmosphere. On account of electricity failure,

we missed the television lesson too. The power did not only cause inconvenience to

students but to the officers, factory owners and factory workers too. The housewives

and cinema goers also suffered. Most of the factories had to close down and cinema

halls had to postpone their shows.

Conclusion: When after about eighteen hours power supply was restored, I realized,

how much we depend on this mysterious force of all machines and modern life.

Ex: Write an essay on “A day without water supply”.

d) South Pole e) Tropic of Cancer d) North Pole

e) Tropic of Capricorn

Question 2 Complete the following paragraph: [Already Solved]

This is the method that is to be followed while numbering parallels. We start from

the Equator and mark it as 0° latitude. The other parallels are marked from 0° to

90°. The parallels in the Northern Hemisphere are marked N or North. The

parallels in the Southern Hemisphere are marked S or South. The North Pole is

written as 90°N. The South Pole is written as 90°S. Parallels are drawn at intervals

of one degree. Hence, there are 90 parallels in the Northern Hemisphere and 90

parallels in the Southern Hemisphere. In all there are 181 parallels which include

the Equator as well.
