The texts in the exam will use lots of different language techniques to make them more effective.
Descriptive language includes imagery such as:
- Metaphors
- Similes
- Personification
Writers often give descriptions based on their senses:
- Sight
- Smell
- Hearing
- Touch
- Taste
When writers use descriptive language they also commonly use lots of adjectives like "huge" or "fiery" to give a specific impression of something.
The main use for descriptive language is to give the reader a clear image in their head of what the writer is describing. It makes the text more interesting.
