This is supposed to carry the speaker’s deep feelings and emotions which he/she feels difficult to share with others except some general happenings. We can, therefore, conclude that “a ‘diary entry’ is a personal record of an individual on a daily basis meant for the concerned person’s use,”

How to write a diary entry?

• Diary Entry is a piece of writing meant exclusively for the writer, it is not supposed to be published.
• The purpose of writing a diary is to conserve those specific moments.
• This is written for one’s own sake just to record daily happenings for amusement in future.

• Paragraphs dealing with different things.
• The conclusion summarises the speaker’s opinion.

Format of Diary Entry: (1) Day and Date : (2) Time : (3) Dear Diary (4) Body _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ (5) Conclusion

Question 1. Your house help’s daughter is same age as yours. However, she doesn’t go to school and helps her mother in mopping and washing utensils. This makes you extremely sad. Write a diary entry about your feelings. (100-150 words) Answer: Dear Diary, Today, I am very thoughtful and concerned about the child labour in our society. Childhood is considered as the best period for growth and development of children. But even today, many children have to work in order to support their families. As I see daily, my house help’s daughter who is the same age as mine, does not go to school. Instead she helps her mother in mopping and washing utensils.

I think, how callous we, human beings are! We employ the children to work in factories, homes, etc. In the age of receiving education, these children burn their blood in doing labour in various workplaces where they face harsh arguments and mean behaviour. Sometimes, they are forced to work at places Which are unhygienic in nature. Sometimes, due to poverty their parents push them into the hell where they remain ill-fed, ill-clad and ill-sheltered. Their filthy surroundings cause them to fall victims of fatal diseases. Little children are often seen selling in the streets or working quietly on domestic chores within the high walls of homes.

Child labour is a real stigma on the society and in our country. This is a human right issue of immense sensitivity. So, in order to eliminate this evil from the society, we all have to come together and let the children of our country prosper. Child labour is a criminal offence in our country. So, the laws should be implemented honestly. The government should punish those who employ children at homes, in factories, etc.

Question 2. You are Aman/Anamika, you. care much about pets and love a lot and feel pleasure in their company. Write a diary entry in about 100-150 words describing your experience with your pet at home. You may take ideas from the lesson “The Bond of Love” and clues given below :

Value points :

Answer: 1st March, 20 ………… Kamala Nagar, Delhi. Dear Diary, Today, I am very delighted to have a pet at home. My father has brought the pet dog for me. We have named it Jack. It is very beautiful. I feel happy and excited and possess affection for the pet. We have made arrangements for its food and bedding. I have taken the responsibility for its care. Early in the morning, I take it for a walk. Also, I make it bathe properly. We have arranged vaccination for it. I enjoy playing with my pet. Sometimes, I carry it to my friends’ house. I have deeply experienced that animals also feel the pleasure of love and the pain of separation.

My pet dog, Jack is like my family member. We all always protect our pet from danger. The eyes of Jack are large and dark. It is very active and playful. Jack takes rice, bread, biscuits, milk and other food items. It loves me and is very obedient. It guards our house at night. When I come back from school, my pet dog, Jack begins to jump in pleasure.

It is said that ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’. My pet dog fulfils all the characteristics of a good friend. It is always ready to selflessly act according to my instructions. The dog showers hundred times the love that we shower on him and remains faithful till the end of its life. It makes us forget all our tensions and worries. Each day seems exciting and’ fun in its company. Now, it is the cynosure of our family.

Question 3. There are different kinds of people in the world. Write about the kinds of people you like or dislike in a diary entry in about 100-150 words. Answer: We come across different types of people in our surroundings. But, I like the people who are honest, sincere, responsible, kind, empathetic and courteous.

Good manners are the life and soul of the society. These qualities make a person cultured and improve his personality. Good manners teach a person to be calm and methods to survive in a society. It helps him to respect others and in return get respect. Good manners help a person to communicate with others. He learns politeness and sympathy towards others. The people who have positive attitude, I like them the most. A positive attitude is the inclination to generally be in an optimistic, and hopeful state of mind. We must have attitude that are positive and conducive to learning. When the attitude is positive, we. entertain pleasant feelings and constructive images. I think, proper communication with peers helps in developing good rapport with them. We can enjoy our school and society much more if the atmosphere is collaborative and positive. There should be respect to differences or criticisms. Also, there should have reception of ideas and opinions of others in a group or society. This gives a feeling of being valued to the group members.

On the other hand, I dislike the people who are dishonest, irresponsible and insincere to the society. I think an uncultured man does not gain respect in the society.

Question 4. Write a diary entry in about 100-150 words based on the given cues, “Technology helps us connect with the world but separates us from our family and friends”. Virtual worlds have taken us away from our near apd dear ones. Answer: This is absolutely true that technology helps us to connect with the world but separates us from our family and friends. For example, computer and internet has changed our life remarkably. Students now have become empowered to be their own teacher. But, the negative impact of extensive computer use is the decreasing time spent interacting with other students in the classroom. As their computer knowledge increases, their interpersonal skills often decrease. Isolated students, learning at computers all day, can lose essential connections that occur through interactions with others. They may find difficulty working co-operatively or dealing with human emotions and personalities. Moreover, a computer monitor can’t answer all of the questions of life.

Today, being on Facebook, Twitter, Whats App and other social networking sites has become a sort of necessity. However, there is a dark side too. There are many who use these medium to send inappropriate messages and photos to others. Quite often, hackers misuse the information given therein.

Similarly, the mobile phone is a wonderful invention of modern times. It has revolutionized communication. But children use them excessively and keep chatting for hours. Many times, they fall prey to an accident. On account of mobile phones, young people have ignored physical exercise too.

Also, there is no doubt that films and televisions serials have a powerful influence in shaping the young minds. But many young people have committed burglaries and murders just by being influenced by the films and TV serials.

Question 5. Write a diary entry on how neglected you felt when everyone appreciated your brother for his selection in the under 19 category cricket team and overlooked your success in the school hockey team.

I, too, got my school a trophy when our hockey team won the -zonals in under 17 category. But that just remained a ‘special, mention’ during our ‘Class Assembly’. No special accolade from my class teacher or our headmaster. Even Mom and Dad overlooked my success. And today, Girish got his entry into the under 19 category cricket team. That has become a big news at home, in school and in the neighbourhood. Mom and Dad got so excited that they imniediately offered Girish a gift of his choice! That is the ‘unkindest cut’ I can experience. I wonder if cricket is much more valuable than hockey! But hockey is our national sports, and who knows, I may represent our country one day in international hockey matches!

Question 6. Make an entry in your diary on your observation of a squirrel living on the big tree opposite your balcony. You almost heard it (squirrel) speaking and could interpret the language. Answer: Dear Diary, Today, I had a fantastic experience, in fact, a memorable one. I went and stood in my balcony looking at the tree opposite. I saw a squirrel quickly climbing up the branch. There it had its nest. In a few seconds the squirrel came out of its nest and stood looking here and there. It made some sounds, as if pointing to its nest and its babies. I felt as if I could make out what he said. He continued to say, “See, here’s my temporary habitation; the only place left for so many of us and the birds. Earlier, I used to live in the tree once behind your house, but now it fell down. My forefathers lived in the trees in the park across which now remains treeless. You, humans don’t think of us when you cut down trees to build your houses. If all trees on the earth are cut, even human beings cannot survive…” As the squirrel said these, I realised the truth that humans don’t think of these creatures when they cut down trees.

Question 7. Your school is arranging a one day trip to Adventure Park, but your parents are reluctant to allow you because of your poor health. Make an entry in your diary in 100-150 words. Answer: Dear Diafy, I am upset novt. Mom and Dad have refused to let me go to “Fun N Joy Land”. How eagerly I had been thinking of visiting this Adventure Park one day! And now my school is arranging the trip to the Adventure Park. I know, Mom and Dad don’t have time to take me there. But now, I have got the golden opportunity… however, they are reluctant to let me go. They are not at fault. They have been seeing me fall ill often. That too, whenever I exert or take food outside. As I kept thinking about how to convince them, I got the idea. The trip is scheduled for the next month; and I have enough time to gain health. I will start my cycling and morning walk. That would make me energetic and make my body ready to enjoy the adventures at the “Fun N Joy Land”.

Question 8. Tomorrow is your final basketball match and your school team depends on you. Write a diary entry in 100-150 words on how nervous and worried you feel. Answer: Dear Diary, I am full of tension. I have been trained and groomed for basketball for the past four years. At present, my focus is on tomorrow’s final match. I came to know that the team against us is a strong one. That school had been winning the cup every year. In the last few years, 1 had not shown this seriousness. Somehow, I got inspired, watching the Olympic games. I have started doing well and indeed, our school team has won a couple of interschool matches. Besides, I have been winning the best player award consecutively. Naturally, all eyes are on me. Although, I feel nervous and worried for such a responsibility but I will not let my teachers, coach and supporters down. I shall try my best for our team.

Question 9. Share your feelings with your diary about the cyber-crime you got to know about and how one of your good friends got involved in it. Answer: Dear Diary, The news I got today upset me to the core. I could never imagine someone close to me being in the news for the wrong reasons. Avneesh is involved in a cyber crime! I know, he is a computer freak, but he is productive too. He has learnt so much of technology in computer on his own. He even used to share his knowledge with us. He is our “IT Guru”, as we, his friends, call him. The crime was that he had sent a mail to a news channel about a bomb scare. He had sent a mail that he had planted a bomb in a specific train and had threatened to blow it up. During interrogation he said that he had sent the e-mail for fun. Poor Avneesh did not know what he did, was a serious cyber crime!

Question 10. Make an entry in your diary in 100-150 words on why you felt insulted and humiliated after you had a little misunderstanding with Kishan/Kavya, your best friend. Answer: Dear Diary, I feel totally insulted and humiliated today, all because of Kavya. I can never think of her, being my best friend, stooping down to such a low level. The matter was that our science teacher had proposed for a students’ science exhibition. She collected names of all candidates who wanted to make projects. Kavya and I offered our names. The teacher suggested us that we could work on the same project. We did for our holidays homework. Kavya did about ‘Rain Water Harvesting’, Since another student from the other section did the same project, our science teacher told Kavya that she could prepare a PPT for my model. Kavya got disappointed. When I tried to comfort her, she blew up badly saying that I had manipulated things.

Question 11. Your last Sunday was an extremely busy day. The activities included completing the home task, watching your favourite TV serial and film and the visit to your cousin. Write a diary entry expressing your feelings and reactions. Answer: Sunday, 10th October, 20… Dear Diary, There are the days which we enjoy the most but get exhausted. The last Sunday was one such day. I had a lot of things to do with limited time spared. The main tasks included completing the homework, watching my favourite serial and film and visiting my cousin’s house. Being a Sunday, my day started a little late. After having my breakfast, I started with my homework. It was interesting but puzzling and took time to complete. Till I completed my task, my favourite serial ‘The Ramayana’ was half-gone. Somehow I managed to take my seat in the living room and enjoyed the rest part of the Ramayana.

Then within 15 minutes, we had to take our seats in the dining room. The dishes were extremely delicious and we enjoyed them with Papa’s dining table jokes. We were so absorbed that we could not notice the time running out. It was a block-buster hollywood movie ‘Enders Game’ being relayed on HBO. Though we missed a few of the begining scenes but the movie was excellent and none of us moved out of the room till the end. But we were now late for cousin’s house. When we reached there, I was surprised to see Sharma uncle with his family, there. I longed to meet him and my wish was fulfilled. I wanted to know from him about his adventures in Satpura forests. When we reached home back, it was very late and we were fully exhausted. I could not join my school in time, the next day.

Question 12. Your elder brother was forced to choose a stream of your parents’ choice. You are extremely sad about the decision and your brother’s inability to make a choice of his own. Write 9 diary entry in about 100-150 words expressing your feelings. Answer: 21st Dec., 20… Today, I got thoroughly upset about whatever is happening to Rohan and I feel sorry for him. Though older to me, I feel, Rohan lacks that cleverness to tackle my parents. May be, he lacks boldness to be assertive – especially when it comes to career choice. I know he has no aptitude for maths but has a strong inclinations for science and computer science. He had always told me that the combination of science and computer would give him a better scope for his higher studies as he was confident that he could score high in these subjects. But father and mother always wanted him to opt for engineering as that is the trend of the day. So, they are forcing him to take science with maths. I really wonder, how, without an interest or aptitude for mathematics one could be successful. They can, but with a lot of struggle and stress and sometimes, students may also get demotivated towards studies. I think if Rohan cannot convince dad, I better go and talk to him and help Rohan to opt for his choice of subjects.

Question 13. Recently, you went to Manali for trekking with your friends where you got’ lost. Make an entry into your diary describing your experience in about 100-150 words. Answer: 11/07/… Lucknow Whenever I think of my experience, I cannot but help laughing at it. We all reached Manali and went around for sight seeing for a day. The next morning we started for Rohtang pass and reached there by afternoon. We had nice time skiing and sledging. Then it suddenly started raining. All my friends went down. Since I spent more time on skiing I could not come down soon. I stayed back as I reached the road down, for as it was still raining very heavily. It was becoming dark and fear gripped me, while the ram lashed. With some local residents I walked down slowly. But I was shocked to realise that I had taken the shorter path. I neither knew where my group had laid their tent, nor how to reach there. My heart stopped almost for I did not have money or the local contact number of my team leader. Seeing my plight, one of the residents took me to his place for the night promising to find the whereabouts of my trekking team in the morning. He fulfilled his promise in the next morning. Truly, he is my saviour and I feel indebted to him for life. XYZ

Question 14. Two of your very good friends quarrelled over a very ordinary matter during lunch break. You intervened to sort out the quarrel, but they did not listen to you. You felt very sad about that. At home, in the evening you decided to record your feelings in your diary. Write the diary entry in 100-150 words. You are Anjali/Ashish. Answer: 18/06/… Mumbai Today I feel very low. Something really nasty happened over a trivial matter. Shyama and Vinita had proved themselves to be absolutely immature.

Just during lunch break, Shyama had kept her water bottle open, while we all were having our lunch. Just then, Vinita knocked down the bottle accidentally. It fell on Shyama’s shoes making them wet. Besides, a little water splashed on her dress as well. She was irritated. In fact we’ve never seen her flare up to that extent before. Vinita immediately apologised to her and I tried to pacify Shyama but it was of no use. It was as if she* was waiting for something of that sort to happen so that she could give vent to her fury. Poor Vinita, she was almost in tears. I think Shyama should not have been so furious over a trivial reason. Perhaps, she was humiliated as the teacher had scolded her for scoring poorly in exam and vented her frustration in this manner. I couldn’t make out. Anyways, I’m thinking of calling her tomorrow over the phone (being a Sunday) and talk to her. After all, she is my best friend ! Anjali

Question 15. Make an entry in your diary in 100-150 words on your hesitation to speak in English and you really wish to improve your public speaking skills. Or Make an entry in your diary in about 100-150 words on your hesitation to speak in English. Answer: July 7, 20….. Yesterday, I attended a small party with my cousin. There was a group of boys and girls – all of my age. They talked in English. They tried to involve me in their discussion. I could have very well put forward my points and taken an active part in it, but I could only smile. I was embarrassed because I could hardly speak in English; I felt restless. Later my cousin asked me why I did not speak. I told him that I can write correct English but I cannot speak it properly. I stammer; I feel at a loss for words. He told me that this problem is faced by many people like me. At school, we are examined for our expression in writing. We don’t get much opportunity to speak. My cousin told me that I should not be shy and that I should have confidence. If I speak in English regularly, my hesitation will soon be over. Now, I have decided to speak in English with my cousin, and other close friends.

Question 16. In 100-150 words write a diary entry about how worried you are about your best friend driving a two wheeler as your friend is hardly 14 years old. Answer: 17th February 20… New Delhi I was very much worried when one day I saw my best friend, Jvoti coming to school on a scooty. She was looking very happy and excited. I was in eighth standard at that time. I used to go to the school by an autorickshaw. As she came to school on her scooty on the very first day, she told me it was a birthday present gifted to her by her grandparents. She offered me a ride on her scooty when we were returning back from the school that day. But I answered in negative because it is unlawful to drive a vehicle for the person below the age of 18 years.

I was extremely worried because we were not even 14 years old at that time. I was also worried for my best friend who was driving in such a crowded area. I had heard about many accident cases of school students in that area. The next day when I met her in the school, I shared my worries with her. She laughed and ignored my worries saying that she had practised driving a lot during the vacations. But, I suggested her that we should not break the law of the land. First of all, it is for our own safety.

Question 17. You recently visited your grandparents in their village and were delighted to see the village life. Write a diary entry describing your memorable visit and the wonderful days you spent with your grandparents. Answer: 10th May 20… Recently I visited my grandparents in their village Gajraula in Uttar Pradesh. It was a memorable trip, as for I the first time I saw the village life. It was all quiet, calm and pollution free environment. Passing through mustard and sugarcane fields, I reached their house. My dada-dadi served us Green Saag with corn chappaties along with salted Lassi. It tasted awesome. I had never realised that this food could be so tasty. Then, I visited the village, the fields, it was completely a new world for me. I also visited a place where jaggery was being made, it was called ‘Kolhu’. I had hot jaggery, it was really a savory. I also saw small village school, a library, Chaupal for elders and many other things. Visiting the village was really a wonderful experience. I have decided to visit there every year.

It was nice to see my family and friends. I missed them a lot when I was in Pennsylvania. But I was also proud to have got the opportunity to visit Pennsylvania through the Fulbright Youth Exchange Program. This programme is sponsored by the US government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the US and those of other countries across the world. During the year that I spent in the US, I learnt a lot about their culture and way of life. I was one of those selected for the Fulbright Applied Research Program for one year.

The programme was intended to provide a platform for scholars from different countries to engage in collaborative thinking, problem-solving and research on the subject of our interest, specified in our application. While in the US, I developed a liking for their way of teaching which was totally reason base of the individuals. This system prompted every student to think independently and arrive at solutions. It gave me the self-reliance and confidence in my abilities. I was fascinated by the number of unique cultures in the region and learnt much about globalisation too. I am thankful to my teachers and parents for encouraging me to enrol into this programme. XYZ

Question 19. Write a diary entry in 100-150 words expressing your feelings when your brother qualified for an engineering college and had to move to another city. Answer: 18th February 20… New Delhi It was a day of great celebrations and happiness when the JEE (Mains) results were announced. I felt very happy to hear that my elder brother got selected for a government engineering college in Faridabad. It is a very reputed and well-known institute named YMCA, Faridabad. But along with joy there were tears in my eyes when I heard that he would shift to the hostel in the college within 10 days after admission. My elder brother was very close to me. I shared all my secrets with him and he heard them with a lot of patience. He used to care for me a lot. He helped me with my studies and we both went out to enjoy during our free time shopping at the malls and watching movies together. I had never thought that these days would suddenly come to an end one day and we would have to live in separate cities far from each other. My brother understood all these feelings that were coming in my mind. He gave me a hug and told me not to get disheartened. He promised me he would come home after every fifteen days and we will enjoy in the same manner as we used to do earlier.

Answer: 02/08/… Kolkata This year would be memorable for me. I think so because of my new classmate Akhil. I don’t know why but I feel comfortable in his company which I hope will continue for long. Last week he entered the,class dazed on the reopening day, I offered him the seat next to mine. With a charming smile, he sat beside me. After our class teacher came, she introduced Akhil to our class. I came to know that his father got transferred here a fortnight before and that he comes from Mumbai. Our teacher also told us that he had been good at studies as well as sports. He proved to be so even at the first instance. I found him to be very sharp at grasping ideas. But one thing that made him stand apart was his modesty. He had answers for every question of the teachers but unless asked for, he never raised his hand. Even in sports, I could find his skills were quite good in Tennis. His polite interaction with others, too, attracted me. What, so more, when I came to know that he stays in our neighbouring apartment, my joy knew no bounds ! Now, we are not only the best pals in the school, but also good neighbours. Nikhil

Question 21. Make an entry in your diary in about 100-150 wTords about an inspiring dream you had. Answer: June 25, 20 Last night, I had a very pleasant and inspiring dream. For the last few days I had been depressed. I felt all my ways led to blind and dark alleys. However, last night a saintly person, an angel of God appeared to me. He shone brightly. He led me by the hand into a tunnel. He said, “Look here my child! You see a long, dark tunnel, but you also see that there is a light at the other end. At present you see only the darkness, and you feel the tunnel has no exit. You are wrong. If you have the perseverance, courage, and will, and march with determination, you will reach the light that you dimly see at present. You will find it is all bright on the other end.” I woke up but nobody was there; but I feel inspired and fresh and determined to achieve my goals.

It is the day when we met for the first time five years ago. From the very first day, you won my confidence as a true friend. I disclose to you my most guarded secrets without fear or hesitation. When I tell a secret to someone else, even the most intimate friend, a fear lurks in my mind that my secret might be out. However, when I unburden my heart to you, I do it without fear or hesitation. I know you will never let my secret out. You will never betray me. There is another reason for which I love you. When I talk to others, I sometimes, feel whether they are interested in what I am telling them, but it is never so with you. You listen to me any time, without any sign of disincli¬nation. Dear diary, you are my best friend, and I am always comfortable with you.

Question 23. As Charles Hooper, make an entry in your diary in about 100-150 words describing the first full day’s work in your office after your accident. Answer: 25 Jan., 20… Today is the first day of my work after the long gap of recuperation. This is just my initial effort, though I’m still not sure if I could continue for long. I had been growing restless sitting at home paralysed, leading a purposeless life. Thanks to Duke who gave me the impetus. But for him, even this initial step would not have been thought of by me. I think he is my saviour, for he has made the impossible, a possible one. He gave me the confidence that day when he pulled the leash and made me take first step. Then I realised that faith is beyond all medicines and treatment.

As for my work today it was nice to be in the office after a long time. It looked, I have joined only today, as if I have to learn everything from the scratch. Well, my mind and heart are now lit- nothing to feel bad about or desperate, just full of hopes and positivity. This showed itself in my enthusiasm to do as much work as possible. I just got too deep into my work, for it is my career. Oh! How positive things look around me! Half the day I tried to recollect the work that I left half way before my long leave. My colleagues were glad to see me back in my position, and came to enquire my health. They were astonished to hear that a dog could do so much as to change one’s life! I hope to keep this pace till my retirement. With Duke by my side, I am sure, everything is possible.

Question 24. Make an entry in your diary in 100-150 words about the ‘Talent Show’ organized by your school cultural club. Answer: 17th February 20… New Delhi I really enjoyed the ‘Talent Show’ organised by the cultural club of our school on the occasion of Silver Jubilee of the school. On that day our school was decorated beautifully by the combined efforts of the teachers and the students. I also participated in the Talent Show. Students from junior classes also displayed a lot of talent. Some performed monoacting, others gave dance performances and also some students played on musical instruments. I was very shocked and surprised to see the different talents of the students of our school. I also played my piano and sang a beautiful song.

I even received a consolation prize for it. Parents af the students enjoyed the programme as they watched their children giving their performances. I was spellbound to see a girl of fifth class doing ‘Bharatnaiyam’, a famous classical dance so gracefully that the whole audience gave her a standing ovation. She received the first prize. The Chief Guest for the function was a renowned businessman of our city, Mr. A.K. Mittal. He also gave a cash prize to that girl. Our school principal gave a wonderful speech at the end, praising the students for their performance and congratulating the teacher for the success of the programme. I enjoyed the ‘Talent Show’ a lot.

Question 25. You are Karan, a student of class X. You have been distracted from your studies and have not performed well in Periodic Test. Write a diary entry in 100-150 words describing why this has happened and your resolution to do better in Annual Examination. Answer: 02/09/… Mysore Today would be an unforgettable day for me. For, my poor performance in my Summative Assessment, and my parents’ passive reaction to it have opened my eyes to my callous attitude towards studies. Thank God! there is one more Summative Assessment in which I could make for my losses in this. Still, the time and energy that had gone waste cannot be got back. I feel bad why I did not listen to my parents who had always been advising me for a planned preparation for my studies. At that time, the IPL cricket matches seemed more important to me. I always had the wrong idea that I could compensate for my lost time in future.

But no, that proved wrong. I spent hours in front of TV and even deceived my parents who were away in office. I convinced them that I was well-prepared. My performance, however, had proved it otherwise. My parents did not say a word. That is the biggest punishment they could give. By keeping quiet they have made me realise that my future is in my hands, that whatever I decide would shape my future ! Karan

Question 26. You are Chuck Hooper. You could not control your emotions when you received the promotion order and broke down. Write a diary entry in about 100-150 words paying tribute to Duke. Answer: 12 Feb., 20… Today, I received my promotion order from my company. I am now the Assistant National Sales Manager. I should say it is providence and that too in the form of my Duke, who is no more. I miss him very badly. It is said that dogs are man’s friend. But nd) I don’t want to call my Duke a ‘dog’. It is indeed, my ‘God’, my saviour. Marcy always felt he was huge and occupied a lot of space. Now, she must have realised how important he had been for my recovery.

After the accident, I became hopeless and felt myself a useless person. Then that incident when I took my first step with my paralysed foot. Oh! I cannot forget that. Duke understood me, and what I wanted. But for him, I would not have been alive today, for such was my despondency. He pulled me into taking my first step, and the rest happened as if in a dream.

Now, when all is settled, I don’t want to celebrate. Tears well up my eyes as I think of my Duke. Indeed, I feel guilty that I have not given Duke anything in return. He should have been alive, with me, around me always as a protector. For, whenever I am down or think about my position now, the pinnacle of glory the calm after the storm, I would be missing, Duke, my dearest friend. May his soul rest in peace!

Question 27. Share your feelings with your diary in 100-150 words about your meeting with an old friend after a very long time. Answer: 15th February 20… New Delhi After a long time I met my old friend, Meena who studied with me at school. We were very close friends and used to spend a lot of time together during our school days. When we entered class XI, her father was transferred to Mumbai and she left the school and went away with her family. Both of us were very upset and cried for each other. We were in touch with each other for a few days after she had left. But with the time we grew apart and became busy in our own lives. When I saw her today, all the memories rushed back to me. I was really excited to see her after such a long time and I hugged her instantly. She also felt very happy and told me that her father had been transferred back to New Delhi. We both shared a lot of incidents of our life as we were meeting after nearly eight years. It was a very memorable day of my life. I had often missed her during the ups and downs of my life as she was very caring and close to my heart. I was very delighted to hear that now she would be near me.

Question 28. Your school recently decided to start afternoon classes for the economically weaker section of the society. At the very first instance itself, you could connect greatly with the cause. Write a diary entry in about 100-150 words expressing your feelings towards the social commitment. Answer: 14 Feb., 20… Today is a great day for me, for I think I have achieved the purpose of education, in my life. Today is the first day when I joined as a volunteer to teach the economically weaker section, thanks to my school. I am very happy to belong to this school which has taken the initiative to start afternoon classes for the economically weaker section of the society.

I have always felt that knowledge is to be dispersed for greater effect, and today I realised it too. I was the first to enrol in this programme as a volunteer. Today, I got to know a lot of things about children belonging to the weaker sections of the society. How alive and enthusiastic they are! They welcomed me with cheers. Today’s class was more or less an introductory session wherein I interacted with the kids and came to know of their likes and dislikes. One striking thing about them was that they are all smart in one way or the other, and have the thirst for knowledge. Each one is ambitious -and indeed, they should be. What bounced me off was their nationalist spirit with which they declared their desire to contribute for the economic development of the country and do away with poverty. I think I have a greater role, as a teacher, to make them realise their dreams. Infact, I also told many of my friends to participate in the initiative and make it a success.

Question 29. Sometimes the choices we make have far-reaching consequences. You were always criticized for devoting much time to sports but made a place in the best college of the country in sports quota. Write how you feel at this point in a diary entry. Answer: 20th January 20… New Delhi Today, I feel on the top of the world. I am happy to get admission in St. Stephens College, New Delhi, the best college of the country through sports quota. I was chosen from 120 students. Sometimes, the choices we make have far-reaching consequences. I was always inclined towards basketball at my school level and always outshined in the sport but my parents always criticized for it as this ignored my studies. But now they are also proud of me. I am sure I would excel my career in the sport and make them more proud.

Question 30. Many times you see beautiful and striking things that linger on in your mind. Last weekend you visited the Taj Mahal and were captivated by its beauty. Write your feelings in the form of a diary entry in about 100-150 words. Answer: 5th March, 20… Today I was supposed to write about my favourite place for my English Writing assignment. Imme¬diately, my visit to Taj Mahal last week came to my mind. The visit has left a lasting impression in my mind, so exquisitely beautiful the monument is!

Taj Mahal – the pride of India; one of the world heritage sites that has taken Indian’s tourism to the pinnacle of the glory. Till I visited the Taj Mahal, I never had a strong opinion about its beauty and worth. I have always seen the monument as a, picture and that had always stayed in my mind’s eye whenever I think of Taj Mahal. I have read about it as the finest piece of Mughal architecture. But when I saw it in real, I felt that it is indeed a heavenly structure. Shahjahan’s love for his wife is etched in each and every inch of the monument. I analysed its beauty in every sense. First, the serenity of the atmosphere in which it is located. Then the river bank and the gardens to enhance the beauty of the mausoleum. And beyond all these are the ivory, white marble of the structure topped by a large dome, which is the most spectacular feature of the structure. I spent quite sometime in enjoying the interior of the structure where there was only work of precious and semi-precious gemstones. At the exterior complex as well, there were plant motifs, reflective tiles and lattices, the delicacy of intricate piece work. No wonder, Taj Mahal is the symbol of love!

Examples of Descriptive Writing for Class 9

Example 1: A Day at the Beach

The beach is one of my favorite places to visit. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore is like music to my ears. The sand is warm and soft under my feet, and the salty air fills my lungs. I can spend hours just walking up and down the beach, enjoying the sun and the sea.

The water is a beautiful shade of blue, and I can see the fish swimming below the surface. The seagulls fly overhead, calling out to each other. I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the coolness of the water as I wade in. A beach is a place where I can forget about all my worries and just enjoy the moment.

Example 2: The Most Memorable Moment of My Life

The most memorable moment of my life was when I won the first prize in a singing competition. I can still remember the feeling of excitement and joy that filled my heart when my name was announced. The applause from the audience was like music to my ears, and I felt like I was on top of the world.

I had practiced for months, and the hard work had paid off. The judges praised my voice and my performance, and I felt like I had achieved something great. It was a moment that I will never forget, and it still brings a smile to my face whenever I think about it.

Descriptive writing is a powerful tool that can help students to develop their writing skills and create vivid pictures in the reader’s mind. By following the format and choosing interesting topics, students can write engaging essays that will leave a lasting impression on their readers.

How to Write a Descriptive Paragraph

Last Updated: March 18, 2024 Fact Checked

This article was co-authored by Christopher Taylor, PhD . Christopher Taylor is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of English at Austin Community College in Texas. He received his PhD in English Literature and Medieval Studies from the University of Texas at Austin in 2014. There are 7 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.

If you want to immerse a reader in an essay or story, there’s no better way to do it than with a crisp, vivid descriptive paragraph. These paragraphs are best when you let your creativity take control, experimenting with structure and content and using unusual, striking phrases to hook your reader’s attention. Whether you’re describing a person, place, or thing, your paragraph should make your reader feel like they’re right there with you or your characters, experiencing the moment firsthand.

Sample Paragraphs

Describing a Person

“Mr. Bixler was the tallest person I’d ever seen.” “Melanie’s hair is the biggest thing about her.” “To understand John’s thoughts, all you had to do was look at his hands. They never stopped moving.”

• “I didn’t usually notice people’s skin, but Natasha’s glowed. It was almost alien. Night could be falling, or we could be sitting in a dark classroom, and I’d still see her out of the corner of my eye, faintly golden.”
• “His arms looked too long for his body, and disproportionately muscular, like pale twin boa constrictors.”

Showing Personality through Physical Description

Kindness or friendliness: “He had a tendency to slope his back and shoulders to smile right in my eyes.”

Rudeness: “He towered over everyone else in the room, staring over everyone’s heads as though looking for something more interesting.”

Ambition: “She walked with energy that seemed to start in her legs, striding purposefully, and went all the way up through her hair, which swept behind her in a smooth ponytail.”

• To describe a face, for example, you could write, “Her nose and her two front teeth were just slightly crooked. She was constantly pulling her long hair forward and throwing it back again, blinking her bangs out of her eyes like she had no idea how they’d gotten there.”
• To describe someone’s body or clothing, you might write, “He was a big guy, but carried himself like he wanted to apologize for it. He hunched his shoulders and bent his neck over his phone, and wore gray clothes so he could blend into the walls.”
• Even the general details you’re describing should only be mentioned if they add insight into the person or character’s personality or impression. For example, if their eye color doesn’t hint at any deeper part of them, you don’t have to include it.

Using Figurative Language

Simile: a comparison between two things using “like” or “as.” Ex. “Her baby’s ears were as tiny and delicate as seashells.”

Metaphor: using a word or phrase with an object, action or person that it can’t literally apply to. Ex. “In class, Mrs. Sherman was an actress. She flew around the room and boomed out each story we read, using different voices and facial expression for every character.”

• “I’d known Lulu for years, but I’d never seen her wear a pair of shoes. In the summer, I’d watch the soles of her feet turn black and callused from the asphalt, which baked so hot under the sun it would let off waves of steam. It had to burn, but she just rose up on her tiptoes and laughed.”
• “In spite of the loud voice, the confident set of his shoulders, and the easy smile, Henry was the saddest person I’d ever met.”

Writing about an Object

• “She’d been wearing the necklace for so long, the chain seemed to blend into her skin. It was thin and the jewel was very small, sitting at the exact center beneath the dip in her collarbone.”
• “The water bottle lay on its side in the dirt, just off the main path, so dented that you could barely tell what its original shape had been.”

Using Sensory Details

Sight: “The lightbulb was incredibly powerful, throwing off a blaze so bright it was almost violet.”

Sound: “The bag crinkled sharply when I opened it.”

Touch: “The wood of the tree was rough, almost biting, scratching her hand when she brushed against the trunk by accident.”

Taste: “The pizza was garlicky and so salty that he finished his whole glass of soda after just one piece.”

Smell: “When they opened the box, the faded, pungent scent of old paper lifted out.”

• For example, you could say, “It was her lucky pencil, the one she always used for tests, and she kept it in a separate section of her backpack for that reason. She sharpened it slowly with her personal handheld sharpener, then carefully swept the shavings into the trash.”

• For example, you could show the importance by writing, “He took his watch off in the bathroom every night, cleaned it gently with a wet tissue, and placed it on a small cloth on his bedside table.”
• For a more direct option, you could write, “The journal had been passed down by her grandmother to her mother and finally to Katie. It was the oldest thing she’d ever owned, and the thing she loved the most.”

Writing a Descriptive Paragraph About a Place

“It wasn’t just that the buildings were tall— they were, they shot straight from the ground into the clouds and seemed to go for miles —but that they were so clean, almost transparent. It was like the towers stretched up so high that they became more air than steel.”

“The beach was empty, but you could tell it usually wasn’t. There was trash everywhere, abandoned towels, tipped over coolers, even a whole umbrella, unfurled, sticking out of a hole in the ground. ”

• “The river ran so high along its banks that it sloshed over the sides of the walls, spilling brown water into the streets, but no one seemed to view this with alarm. I watched a man ride his bike just along the wall, speeding straight through the biggest puddles.”
• “The neighborhood was perfectly suburban, but sat right across the two-lane road from miles of sprawling cornfields, green arms sifting through the breeze, punctured here and there by broken-down farm houses.”

• For example, in The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood describes a room as “A chair, a table, a lamp. Above, on the white ceiling, a relief ornament in the shape of a wreath and in the centre of it a blank space, plastered over, like the place in a face where the eye has been taken out.”

• For example, you could write, “He couldn’t remember the last time the house had been quiet. Someone was always flying up or down the stairs in heavy, clomping boots, peeling open the refrigerator door, blaring a baseball game on the radio or yelling to turn it off again.”

• “Standing there at the foot of the Rockies, seeing mountains for the first time, it was like the whole world was shrinking, especially me. It made me dizzy, how small I had become.”
• “The rain slammed down around them, standing at the bus stop in a dim yellow circle of light. She tugged her coat closer, feeling the chill in her fingers and watched him try to talk over the sound of the water.”

Descriptive Paragraph Writing: Examples, Format, Samples & Practice Questions in PDF

Remember the time as a kid when we used to tell ghost stories with dramatic effects during power cuts or the stories our parents, and grandparents used to tell us? We would usually get lost in the world the storyteller has created with words.

In the writing section, the descriptive paragraph is the same but instead of telling, here, we will talk about writing descriptions. This writing piece will cover what a descriptive paragraph is along with its types and examples. 

What is a Descriptive Paragraph?

The introduction might have given you an idea of what a descriptive paragraph is. A descriptive paragraph is a written description that will help any reader create a clear and detailed image of the event, person, place, or object. A description can be in both written and verbal form. 

A well-crafted descriptive writing is intended to appeal to the reader’s senses creating a well-defined image in their mind. The writer needs to use their sensory information to make the reader feel a required connection with the described event. To write a descriptive paragraph, you must study your topic closely, make a list of the details you observe, and organize those details into a logical structure.

Write a descriptive paragraph on Bismillah Khan in not more than 100-120 words.

Bismillah Khan, the legendary shehnai maestro, was a mesmerizing musician whose melodies transcended boundaries and touched the souls of millions. With his beloved instrument, the shehnai, he crafted an enchanting symphony that resonated with both traditional and contemporary audiences.

His performances were a visual and auditory treat. Dressed in traditional attire, his eyes sparkled with passion as he brought the shehnai to life. The mellifluous notes that emanated from his instrument seemed to weave a tapestry of emotions, transporting listeners to a world of serenity and bliss.

The shehnai was no match for Bismillah Khan's prowess. He navigated challenging ragas with ease, enthralling listeners with his flawless control and accuracy.  Audiences were spellbound by his playing's sheer virtuosity, which cut across linguistic and cultural barriers.

In addition to his musical prowess, Bismillah Khan had a kind and modest spirit. All who had the pleasure of seeing his performances or getting to know him personally were won over by his contagious smile and down-to-earth personality.

Numerous honors, including the prestigious Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, were bestowed upon Bismillah Khan for his contributions to Indian classical music. His music is still a priceless treasure, and his legacy has inspired generations of musicians.

In the world of music, Bismillah Khan's name will always be inscribed in gold letters, representing the strength of ardor, commitment, and the capacity of music to cross divides and unite people.

Event/ Situation

This kind of descriptive writing includes writing factual information regarding an event or situation that has taken place in chronological order. Here, the writing is described using past tense since that event or situation has already taken place. It helps in recording our day-to-day life events or to get first-hand information regarding any event or situation. 

While describing an event or situation, the following points should be taken into consideration.

• Name of the event
• When did it happen
• What happened (Give details)
• Who were the people involved
• Why was it important

Describe the Diwali festival using the following verbal cues:

• Diwali—a festival of lights
• A festival of victory of good over evil
• Crackers and fireworks
• Exchange of gifts

The festival of Diwali is the most important festival celebrated in India. It is a festival of lights. It is celebrated somewhere in October or November, 20 days after Dussehra. It marks the victory of good over evil as Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana return home after 14 years of exile. To welcome them the entire city of Ayodhya was decorated with Earthen lamps (diyas). This festival is celebrated with great pomp and show. People exchange gifts, which signifies love and respect for their relatives and friends. All the houses are illuminated with diyas and candles. Children burn crackers and fireworks which look very beautiful. People pray to Goddess Laxmi for the well-being of their family and businesses.

How to Write a Well-drafted Descriptive Paragraph?

The reader must be able to get a mental image of the event, person, place, object, or situation while reading the paragraphs. There are a few points one needs to keep in mind to write a descriptive paragraph. 

• Choose a catchy and interesting title to grab the reader’s attention.
• Before you begin writing, try to brainstorm ideas on how you can describe the event or person and try to think about what you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell i.e. sensory information.
• Using vivid, detailed, and descriptive language will help the reader in forming a clear mental image. 
• Use passive voice to describe scientific, technical writing, and lab reports.
• Be concise and specific
• Use metaphors and similes
• Try not to put your personal opinion while describing any event or situation. 
• Use a concluding sentence that circles back to the topic's significance.
• Arrange the details in a sequence that makes sense for your topic.
• If you get stuck, read model descriptive paragraphs for insight, and don't be afraid to experiment with different arrangements.

In your final draft, the details should follow a logical pattern, with each sentence connecting to the sentences that come before and after it. 

What is a Descriptive Paragraph and its examples?

Any written description that helps the reader develop clear and in-detail visuals of any person, event, object, or place. It can be in both verbal and written form. Here is an example describing exam day blunder to help you understand it better.

For example,

I usually take great care to prepare for my exams. But yesterday, I made an unthinkable blunder. I reached the school feeling prepared and confident for my Mathematics exam. When I met some of my classmates, I was astonished to find that they were all revising for the English exam! The astonishment turned into fear and panic when I realized that I had gotten it all wrong. I borrowed my friend’s English reader and began reading up chapters and looking up questions. When the bell rang for us to assemble in our respective exam centers, I was shaking with nervousness. But, I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and sat down for the exam. The question paper turned out to be easy, and I sighed in relief.

Descriptive Paragraph Writing Class 9 CBSE Format, Topics, Examples, Samples

Solved examples.

1. Write a descriptive paragraph, in

about 100-150 words, on ‘A Friendly Clown’. Ans. A FRIENDLY CLOWN

one corner of my dresser, sits a smiling toy clown on a tiny unicycle–a gift I

received last Christmas from my close friend. The clown’s short yellow hair,

made of yarn, covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are

outlined in black with thin, dark lashes flowing from the brows. ft has

cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its broad grin disappears into the wide,

white ruffle around its neck. The clown wears a fluffy, two-tone nylon costume.

The left side of the outfit is light blue, and the right side is red. The two

colors merge in a dark line that runs down the center of the small outfit.

Surrounding its ankles and disguising its long black shoes, are big pink bows.

The white spokes on the wheels of the unicycle gather in the center and expand

to the black tire so that the wheel somewhat resembles the inner half of a

grapefruit. The clown and unicycle together stand about a foot high. As a

cherished gift from my good friend Tran, this colorful figure greets me with a

smile every time I enter my room.

2. Write a descriptive paragraph, in

about 100450 words, on ‘Gregory—My Pet Cat’.

Ans. GREGORY—MY PET CAT

is my beautiful grey Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a

dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a

ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he

spends most of his time indoors, watching television and growing fat. He enjoys

TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with

cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor

of only the most expensive brands. Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he

is about what he eats—befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up

against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain

your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory,

as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of- my

friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and

smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him

for his obnoxious, but endearing habits.

3. Write a descriptive paragraph, in

about 100-150 words, about the house of your dreams. You can invent your own

 Ans. THE HOUSE OF MY DREAMS

The guest room is facing to a part of swimming pool. The left wing is a way to

find a door to my family main room. When you open the door, there is a glass

hall towards the children’s room. if we go through the glass hail from the

guest room, you can find my room facing the swimming pool. And the glass hail

is also connecting my room on the right wing and dining room on the left wing.

There is a folded-glass door at the backyard where you can find swimming pool

right after you open the glass door. A small at made of stones is next to the

pool for people to go to a gazebo near the pool for gathering and relaxing. You

next to my room.

                      ANSWER

[DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH]

1 . THE BLOND GUITAR

My most valuable possession is an old, slightly warped blond guitar—the first

instrument I taught myself how to play. It’s nothing fancy, just a Madeira folk

guitar, all scuffed and scratched and fingerprinted. At the top is a bramble of

copper-wound strings, each one hooked through the eye of a silver tuning key.

The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its frets tarnished, the wood

worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking notes. The body of the

Madeira is shaped like an enormous yellow pear, one that was slightly damaged in

shipping. The blond wood has been chipped and gouged to gray, particularly

where the pick guard fell off years ago. No, its not a beautiful instrument,

but it still lets me make music, and for that I will always treasure it.

2. THE KITCHEN

The kitchen held our lives together. My mother worked in it all day long, we ate in it almost all meals except the breakfast, I did my homework and first writing

at the kitchen table, and in winter, I often had a bed made up for me on three

kitchen chairs near the stove. On the wall, just over the table, hung a long

horizontal mirror that sloped to a ship’s prow at each end and was lined in

cherry wood. It took up the whole wall, and drew every object in the kitchen to

itself. The walls were a fiercely speckled whitewash, so often re-whitened by

my father in slack seasons that the paint looked as if it had been squeezed and

cracked into the walls. A large electric bulb hung down the center of the

kitchen at the end of a chain that had been hooked into the ceiling; the old

gas ring and key still jutted out of the wall like antlers. In the corner, next

to the toilet, was the sink at which we washed, and the square tube in which my

mother did our clothes. Above it, tacked to the shelf on which were pleasantly

ranged square, blue-bordered white sugar and spice jars, hung calendars from

the National Bank and the Workmen’s Circle; receipts for the payment of

insurance premiums, and household bills on a spindle; two little boxes engraved

with Hindi letters.

INSPIRING TEACHER

There are some inspiring teachers in my life. But the one whom I am going to tell you about is really a great teacher for me. His name is Shyam Sagar. He was my lecturer in Sanskrit Literature, University of Delhi. He was the third person

who has the highest knowledge of Sanskrit linguistic in the world. His

specialty was in calligraphy and philosophy. He doesn’t have a high education

title. In fact, he was a truck driver in Tamil Nadu before he was appointed to

be a guest lecturer in University of Delhi. When we saw him for the first time,

he didn’t look like a lecturer. He was carrying a black plastic bag and wore a

simple outfit. What impressed us at that time was that he was talking as if we

had watched an English movie! He didn’t have many rules in his class but he

knew how to attract us to study more and more. Every time we studied

linguistic, he let us feel and try the words, so we had no doubt in pronouncing

them. He was able to let us understand phrases matching to situations and Tamil culture. His humble heart and persistence made us respect him more. As a result, we always tried our best in his class because we did not want to

disappoint him. I have been admired by his attitude towards his students, and I

try to model him, yet I’m still learning.

4. MY FAVOURITE PLACE

My favorite place which is important to me is my countryside house. I have very bright impressions and memories related to it. That is the place where I have grown up, met my friends and where I have spent almost all my life.

It is a big house with a yard. In summer, there are a lot of flowers which make

the outlook beautiful In the backyard, there is a “place where I love to

spend time, lying in hammock and dreaming under the tree.

Inside the house, there is a kitchen, a big living room, where you can invite guests, friends and chat with them, watch TV and relax. Next to the living room there are rooms, which are always sunlit during daytime, so you wake up with a very good mood in the morning. The house has a very homely atmosphere I will always like this place, because I have many good, pleasant memories and feelings about it.

5. MY HOMETOWN

grew up in Shimla which is located in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the

northern part of India. Large, old oak trees and green lawns, surrounded by

hills covered in pine trees formed my neighborhood. The streets were quiet,

with only the sound of birds singing and some cars passing every once in a

while. During the cold, snowy winters, most people stayed inside, and one could

smell wood burning in fireplaces and see smoke coming out of chimneys. In

summer, one could see people walking dogs or jogging, smell cut-fresh grass,

and see squirrels jumping from tree to tree. My hometown made me feel secure

and comfortable. Now, I usually visit Shimla once a year. Not a lot has changed

except now there are more people, more traffic, and more places to go, such as

shopping malls and restaurants. I feel nostalgic when I think about Shimla.

6. MY LOVING SISTER

has a family, but only few are lucky to have an inspiring, strong and caring

sister like mine. My sister’s name is Radhika Kapoor. My sister is currently staying

with her friend’s family in Patel Nagar as she is pursuing an advanced academic

program. She works her brain off to meet deadlines, produce new ideas, and on

top of that she tries to fit time in her busy schedule every night to call or

text us. For , engineering, she has

sacrificed so much to be the best. Although engineering doesn’t define her,

what she loves about it is that it’s a challenge she has to face. Radhika has

everything that a little sister would have wanted. She’s understanding,

intelligent, funny, and charismatic. Radhika brings solution to every problem.

regardless the situation. My sister is my teacher. She guides me through my

life. Radhika always advises me on what to be avoided and what would bring

benefits to me. Radhika is sincere to everyone and herself. I love my sister

and no one can do anything. to separate us. I hope that someday I can take good

care of her as she has cared for me.

MY GRANDMOTHER

person I will always remember is my grandmother, because she was the most

amazing person I had ever known. My grandmother was a person everyone wanted to

be around, she always put a smile on our faces without even trying. She had the

finniest laugh and was always cracking jokes which was probably the reason why

we were always laughing. My grandma would help anyone no matter hat the situation was even if it meant going

out of her way to help. She was very caring and always had a welcoming home for

us; my cousins and I always liked staying with her on the weekends.

My grandma was like my best friend. I could talk to her about anything, and she

knew exactly how to solve my problems. She also used to make the best idlis and

payasam. I always looked forward to Diwali walking into her house, smelling all

the warm food, waiting for us. I will always cherish all the memories I had

with my grandma. She raised me to be a better person and to look at things in a

positive way. She was a strong, loving, caring, funny woman and had many things

to give to others. An one who met her will cherish forever.

FRIEND-MY CHAMP

 Mohan has been a good friend of mine for some

years now. Our friendship goes all the way hack to when we first met in primary

school. Although we were very young and seemed to not have too much in common,

we somehow found some reasons to bond and create a friendship. It is a

friendship that has become stronger over the time and through our shared life

experiences. He is my exact opposite in terms of physical attributes. He is

taller than me with dark hair and black eyes. He also has better fashion sense

than I have with his standard jean pants and black shirt. Black is his

favorite color, so it tends to show up in most of his clothes. He is also

more sociable than I am. Because of his talent for drawing, he often attracts

people to look at his 3D designs on his laptop. He has a creative mind, so he

has a lot of projects that he works on whenever he has some free time. He is

the friend that I come to when I feel troubled or pressured. It is his voice of

reason that helps me calm down and reminds me to remain composed at all times.

He is my best friend because he cares about me and works on our friendship with

me. I can only hope that we will be friends forever.

9. PLEASURES OF WATCHING A

combines the pleasures of radio and cinema. It has become the most popular

means of entertainment as it provides variety of entertainment at a minimum

cost. Every home has a TV nowadays. The facility of cable network has increased

the pleasures of television. Now we have hundreds of channels available to us.

Each person can watch programs of his choice. Instant and live coverage of

sports items, films and film-based programs, TV serials and soap operas are

the sort of programs which are liked the most. Television watching is

entertaining as well as informative. Programs on current affairs enlighten

us. However, like every invention of science, TV has darker aspects also.

Excessive TV watching proves harmful. So, let us be moderate in enjoying the

pleasures of television.

                               REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATION

our country celebrated its Republic Day on 26th January. i could not go to India Gate lawns to watch the parade of

different states. Therefore, I had to sit in front of my TV I was surprised at

the smart uniforms and the enthusiasm of different battalions of ail the three

branches of the forces. They were followed by the young brave children who

seemed to be very happy on the elephants as all of them had received bravery

awards. The tableau of the states was the main attraction as the colorful artists

presented the dances of their states with a message. The people gathered there,

were impressed by the school children who presented a number of items. I also

wanted to join them. Afterward, I realised that on TV I was only able to

How to Write a Descriptive Paragraph

• Writing Essays
• Writing Research Papers
• English Grammar

Olivia Valdes was the Associate Editorial Director for ThoughtCo. She worked with Dotdash Meredith from 2017 to 2021.

• B.A., American Studies, Yale University

A descriptive paragraph is a focused and detail-rich account of a specific topic. Paragraphs in this style often have a concrete focus—the sound of a waterfall, the stench of a skunk's spray—but can also convey something abstract, such as an emotion or a memory. Some descriptive paragraphs do both. These paragraphs help readers  feel  and  sense  the details that the writer wants to convey.

To write a descriptive paragraph, you must study your topic closely, make a list of the details you observe, and organize those details into a logical structure.

Finding a Topic

The first step in writing a strong descriptive paragraph is identifying your topic . If you received a specific assignment or already have a topic in mind, you can skip this step. If not, it's time to start brainstorming.

Personal belongings and familiar locations are useful topics. Subjects that you care about and know well often make for rich, multilayered descriptions. Another good choice is an object that at first glance doesn't seem to warrant much description, like a spatula or a pack of gum. These seemingly innocuous objects take on entirely unexpected dimensions and meanings when captured in a well-crafted descriptive paragraph.

Before you finalize your choice, consider the goal of your descriptive paragraph. If you're writing description for description's sake, you're free to choose any topic you can think of, but many descriptive paragraphs are part of a larger project, such as a personal narrative or an application essay. Make sure the topic of your descriptive paragraph aligns with the broader goal of the project.

Examining and Exploring Your Topic

After you've selected a topic, the real fun begins: studying the details. Spend time closely examining the subject of your paragraph. Study it from every possible angle, beginning with the five senses: What does the object look, sound, smell, taste, and feel like? What are your own memories of or associations with the object? 

If your topic is larger than a single object—for example, a location or a memory—you should examine all of the sensations and experiences associated with the topic. Let's say your topic is your childhood fear of the dentist. The list of details might include your white-knuckled grip on the car door as your mother tried to drag you into the office, the gleaming white smile of the dental assistant who never remembered your name, and the industrial buzz of the electric toothbrush. 

Don't worry about writing full sentences or arranging the details into a logical paragraph structure during the prewriting phase. For now, simply write down every detail that comes to mind.

Organizing Your Information

After you've compiled a lengthy list of descriptive details, you can begin assembling those details into a paragraph. First, consider again the goal of your descriptive paragraph. The details you choose to include in the paragraph, as well as the details you choose to  exclude , signal to the reader how you feel about the topic. What message, if any, do you want the description to convey? Which details best convey that message? Reflect on these questions as you begin constructing the paragraph.

Every descriptive paragraph will take a somewhat different form, but the following model is a straightforward way to get started:  

• A topic sentence that identifies the topic and briefly explains its significance
• Supporting sentences that describe the topic in specific, vivid ways, using the details you've listed during brainstorming
• A concluding sentence that circles back to the topic's significance

Arrange the details in an order that makes sense for your topic. (You could easily describe a room from back to front, but that same structure would be a confusing way to describe a tree.) If you get stuck, read model descriptive paragraphs for inspiration, and don't be afraid to experiment with different arrangements. In your final draft, the details should follow a logical pattern, with each sentence connecting to the sentences that come before and after it.

Showing, Not Telling

Remember to  show,  rather than  tell , even in your topic and concluding sentences. A topic sentence that reads, "I am describing my pen because I love to write" is obvious "telling" (the fact that you're describing your pen should be self-evident from the paragraph itself) and unconvincing (the reader cannot  feel  or  sense  the strength of your love of writing).

Avoid "tell" statements by keeping your list of details handy at all times. Here's an example of a topic sentence that  shows  the subject's significance through the use of detail: "My ballpoint pen is my secret writing partner: The baby-soft tip glides effortlessly across the page, somehow seeming to pull my thoughts down from my brain and out through my fingertips."

Edit and Proofread Your Paragraph

The writing process isn't over until your paragraph has been edited and proofread . Invite a friend or teacher to read your paragraph and provide feedback. Assess whether the paragraph clearly conveys the message you intended to express. Read your paragraph aloud to check for awkward phrasing or cumbersome sentences. Finally, consult a proofreading checklist to confirm that your paragraph is free of minor errors.

• Descriptive Essay

You ever read a really good travel essay? It makes you believe that you are there with the writer, it paints a vivid picture. This is because the essay is so descriptive, that it appeals to our senses. As a result, our brain starts imagining it. Let’s learn more about a descriptive essay.

Suggested Videos

What is a descriptive essay.

Our brain is so powerful that it can easily imagine scenarios and make use of our senses. The job of such an essay is to appeal to our senses in a way that it creates an image in our minds. Hence a descriptive essay plays with at least one of our five senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing, sight).

In other words, the description of the person, place or thing in an essay should be really vivid. This means it after reading the essay, the reader should be left feeling like they actually know the person, have held the object or have visited the place.

In the light of the above-mentioned things, it is comfortable to say that a descriptive essay provides for artistic freedom. For example, assume you’re writing about a house.

Instead of simply stating that the house was beautiful, you should talk about the color of the house, the garden in front of it i.e. all the details about the house. In that way, the readers would be able to imagine the house because of a nicely written essay.

Contents of a Descriptive Essay

As it is with most of the written forms of English literature, the basic structure of a descriptive essay also comprises of an introduction, a body, and the conclusion.

• The introduction of a descriptive essay should be interesting enough to catch a reader’s attention. The introduction should be all about creating a base or a background for the person, place or thing you’re going to describe in your essay.
• Next, the main body of a descriptive essay should appeal to the reader’s senses. This includes unfolding the information by creating images in the reader’s mind. A trick to achieving this is to explain how the subject about which you’re writing in your descriptive essay, appeals to your senses.
• Lastly, the conclusion should summarize the whole essay. Along with again going over the main details about the essay’s subject, you should end the essay in a way that it gives a sense of completion.

How to Write a Descriptive Essay?

Before starting off with a descriptive essay, thinking about the subject in detail will be your best bet. Just take some time off and imagine about the subject. This means to imagine how the subject appeals to your senses- how does it smell, looks like and so on.

Further, if the subject is related to a past experience think about how it felt or your experience with the subject. Next, express all of these on the paper right in front of you. You can also take some time to think about how you want your essay to unfold. Lastly, a revision of the essay provides a great opportunity for improvements and small tweaks. Remember that a descriptive essay is all about teasing the reader’s senses.

1. Write a descriptive paragraph, in about 100-150 words, on ‘A Friendly Clown’. Ans.                                         A FRIENDLY CLOWN

On one corner of my dresser, sits a smiling toy clown on a tiny unicycle–a gift I received last Christmas from my close friend. The clown’s short yellow hair, made of yarn, covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are outlined in black with thin, dark lashes flowing from the brows. ft has cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its broad grin disappears into the wide, white ruffle around its neck. The clown wears a fluffy, two-tone nylon costume. The left side of the outfit is light blue, and the right side is red. The two colours merge in a dark line that runs down the centre of the small outfit. Surrounding its ankles and disguising its long black shoes, are big pink bows. The white spokes on the wheels of the unicycle gather in the centre and expand to the black tire, so that the wheel somewhat resembles the inner half of a grapefruit. The clown and unicycle together stand about a foot high. As a cherished gift from my good friend Tran, this colourful figure greets me with a smile every time I enter my room.

2. Write a descriptive paragraph, in about 100450 words, on ‘Gregory—My Pet Cat’.

Ans.                                     GREGORY—MY PET CAT

Gregory is my beautiful grey Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors, watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favour of only the most expensive brands. Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats—befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favourite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of- my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing habits.

                      ANSWER [DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH]

1 .                                          THE BLOND GUITAR

My most valuable possession is an old, slightly warped blond guitar—the first instrument I taught myself how to play. It’s nothing fancy, just a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffed and scratched and fingerprinted. At the top is a bramble of copper-wound strings, each one hooked through the eye of a silver tuning key. The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its frets tarnished, the wood worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking notes. The body of the Madeira is shaped like an enormous yellow pear, one that was slightly damaged in shipping. The blond wood has been chipped and gouged to gray, particularly where the pick guard fell off years ago. No, its not a beautiful instrument, but it still lets me make music, and for that I will always treasure it.

2.                                                 THE KITCHEN

The kitchen held our lives together. My mother worked in it all day long, we ate in it almost all meals except the breakfast, I did my homework and first writing at the kitchen table, and in winter, I often had a bed made up for me on three kitchen chairs near the stove. On the wall, just over the table, hung a long horizontal mirror that sloped to a ship’s prow at each end and was lined in cherry wood. It took up the whole wall, and drew every object in the kitchen to itself. The walls were a fiercely speckled whitewash, so often re-whitened by my father in slack seasons that the paint looked as if it had been squeezed and cracked into the walls. A large electric bulb hung down the centre of the kitchen at the end of a chain that had been hooked into the ceiling; the old gas ring and key still jutted out of the wall like antlers. In the corner, next to the toilet, was the sink at which we washed, and the square tub in which my mother did our clothes. Above it, tacked to the shelf on which were pleasantly ranged square, blue-bordered white sugar and spice jars, hung calendars from the National Bank and the Workmen’s Circle; receipts for the payment of insurance premiums, and household bills on a spindle; two little boxes engraved with Hindi letters.

3 . INSPIRING TEACHER

There are some inspiring teachers in my life. But the one whom I am going to tell you about is really a great teacher for me. His name is Shyam Sagar. He was my lecturer in Sanskrit Literature, University of Delhi. He was the third person who has the highest knowledge of Sanskrit linguistic in the world. His speciality was in calligraphy and philosophy. He doesn’t have a high education title. In fact, he was a truck driver in Tamil Nadu before he was appointed to be a guest lecturer in University of Delhi. When we saw him for the first time, he didn’t look like a lecturer. He was carrying a black plastic bag and wore a simple outfit. What impressed us at that time was that he was talking as if we had watched an English movie! He didn’t have many rules in his class but he knew how to attract us to study more and more. Every time we studied linguistic, he let us feel and try the words, so we had no doubt in pronouncing them. He was able to let us understand phrases matching to situations and Tamil culture. His humble heart and persistence made us respect him more. As a result, we always tried our best in his class because we did not want to disappoint him. I have been admired by his attitude towards his students, and I try to model him, yet I’m still learning.

4 .                                         MY FAVOURITE PLACE

My favourite place which is important to me is my countryside house. I have very bright impressions and memories related to it. That is the place where I have grown up, met my friends and where I have spent almost all my life.

It is a big house with a yard. In summer, there are a lot of flowers which make the outlook beautiful In the backyard, there is a “place where I love to spend time, lying in hammock and dreaming under the tree.

Inside the house, there is a kitchen, a big living room, where you can invite guests, friends and chat with them, watch TV and relax. Next to the living room there are rooms, which are always sunlit during daytime, so you wake up with a very good mood in the morning. The house has a very homely atmosphere I will always like this place, because I have many good, pleasant memories and feelings about it.

5.                                             MY HOMETOWN

I grew up in Shimla which is located in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the northern part of India. Large, old oak trees and green lawns, surrounded by hills covered in pine trees formed my neighbourhood. The streets were quiet, with only the sound of birds singing and some cars passing every once in a while. During the cold, snowy winters, most people stayed inside, and one could smell wood burning in fireplaces and see smoke coming out of chimneys. In summer, one could see people walking dogs or jogging, smell cut-fresh grass, and see squirrels jumping from tree to tree. My hometown made me feel secure and comfortable. Now, I usually visit Shimla once a year. Not a lot has changed except now there are more people, more traffic, and more places to go, such as shopping malls and restaurants. I feel nostalgic when I think about Shimla.

I can only hope that we will be friends forever.
