informative text

A descriptive text is a text that wants you to picture what they are describing.

A novel might want you to imagine the characters and see them in your mind.
A travel book will want you to see the country it is describing.


Descriptive texts usually:

make use of adjectives and adverbs

use comparisons to help picture it - something is like something

employ your five senses - how it feels, smells, looks, sounds and tastes
