The Definition of Descriptive Text
Descriptive text is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.


Structure Text (Generic Structure)
Descriptive text has its own rules in writing, including in the structure or composition of which must be written in order. If you are prompted to create descriptive text, then make sure the structure is as follows:

 1. Identification
This section in the first paragraph - the goal  is to identify something to be described or depicted. Explanation easy, Identification serves to introduce the reader about the object or something that we have described before we tell about its properties. The goal is not to get one of those readers.

 2. Description
This section in the second paragraph and so on - contains the properties inherent in something that you already introduced to the reader in the first paragraph.


Characteristics Descriptive Text
These characteristics are important for you to take into account when  writing the descriptive text is not wrong. So make sure you use the  following features when using the genre will write descriptive text :
 1. Using the Simple Present Tense. 
Why use the simple present tense?  this is because we will describe a fact or truth that is attached to something or someone. And one of the functions of the simple present is to illustrate a fact or truth (eg fact: the sun is hot). Therefore, you should  always use the first form of the verb (verb-1). Your example will illustrate the properties of your new car: The color of my car is black, it can run up to 500 km / hour.
 2. Because of its function is to describe something by explaining its properties, then the text will be found many descriptive adjectives (adjective), as handsome, beautiful, tall, small, big, or if the adjective is derived from the verb, then you will find additional -ve, -ing, -nt in tow,
 3. In the descriptive text we will often find Relating verb (copula) which is (as in characteristic number 1). In Indonesian is often interpreted as "is". Because the purpose or function descriptive text is to describe, then definitely we will often find the word was (is). His name is Andy (his name was Andy), his height is 160 cm (height is 160 cm).
