Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteIt helped me a lot.
I don't get to understand the "Identification", Could you please give an example?
When saying "attributive", what do you mean?
THanks again from Spain.
Dear Guy, since descriptive tex is describing a specific thing, we need to identify which particular thing we want to discuss in the text. Structuring Identification is necessary in order to avoid having general statement/clasification which belongs to report text. Identification introduces the main particular topic of the text.
ReplyDeleteAttributive belongs to grammar term. We know adjective such as "old" to modify noun. When the adjective is used to construct a sentence/phrase, the adjective can be attributive or predicative. The man is old and the old man is my neighbour, the first old is called predicative and the second is attributive.
However if you get other idea, it will be my pleasure if you let me know for better understanding. Thank for dropping by
Thank YOU! Now everything is clear for me!
ReplyDeleteI would also like to say that trying to know about the different types of texts, I didn't know the distribution that you did, but the basic 5 kinds: descriptive, narrative, expositive, argumentative and instructive.
Thank you!
There is always something new to be learnt.

Guy, I totally agree with you that there are a lot new things to be learnt. When we have learnt the new thing, it will become the old one and still the are the other new ones outside waiting to be learnt.
ReplyDeleteAgain thank you, thanks the beautiful famous valencia..
well, I agree with your opinion about descriptive,but one thing I wonder why do all state that descriptive texts always use simple present tense? I've ever read a descriptive text with past tense
ReplyDeleteThank fort the comment in this what descriptive text. however that language feature is just dominant language pattern, maybe the post which was made tow years ago need corrected and updated. Descriptive text can be formed in PAST TENSE like the example of descriptive text in CLEOPATRA, the text mostly is composed in past tense because Cleopatra lived in the past time

Defining descriptive text is sometime confusing with what is report text. Both descriptive text and report tell what is the thing is. However descriptive text tend to focus to certain participant while report describe the participant in general
ReplyDeletedescriptive can b informative. Am i right??????
ReplyDeleteI think so. A descriptive text can be a form of informative text. I have read some notes about it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to yahoo answer, informative text is not a genre, it is just a piece of writing which inform knowledge and data. Informative text is excluded from the text types which we have been studying.
According to 45 language, informative text is commonly composed in patterns of;Title, pictures with caption, sub heading, paragraph, non-fiction, interesting boxes, facts, easy to understand, set it nicely, staying in the subject, no repetition, simple.
So since some types of text are functionally informing, such as; descriptive, report,explanation, procedure, they can be in form of informative text.
Thank for ur coming, if u have another idea about what is and how informative text composed, I will be very happy to know it
im doing a research about descriptive text, and i want to know the Importance of Teaching Reading Descriptive Text???
ReplyDeletethank's...
@anonym, in what element do yo make a research about descriptive text? Structure, language feature or purpose? Many said that the ability to describe thing and people is the main element of speaker and writer belong to present their idea.That is why students should learn how to describe and in vivid detail about thing and person as they ara

Great blog, it's so cool
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank's a lot.this is make I understand about descriptive text
ReplyDeleteMy teacher says that descriptive writing "utilizes" the five tenses and make them into a story
ReplyDeleteIn the first paragraph the viewer is watching from a distance
The second paragraph the view is now more closer to the object and then details become more clearer
The third paragraph the viewer in now closer up/ inside the object
For this ill take the e.g. of a haunted house
Last paragraph the user is leaving the scene
Then the end :D
I hope this made everyone doubts
