Descriptive Essay : Words, Words
Words? What is the meaning of words? Through someone's aspect, it could be considered as the
most efficient communicating tool of human being. On the other hand, some people may treat it as
an irreplaceable expression of their emotion. Objectively speaking, "words" could definitely be
concluded in both ways above, but in my opinion, using words is a privilege and honor. I use
words to gain knowledge and words give me all kinds of possibilities of understanding new stuff
when I intend to enhance my personal abilities.
–When do you like words; when not? Mostly, words represents simple language communication and
stand for a carrier of people's emotion. For example, I felt very upset and frustrated when I got a
few deny letters from some universities I applied in the last year of my high school. During that
time, every single word from these letters turned to be sharp and dreadful. However, when I have
a chat with my old friends, I usually enjoy every moment of texting and also enjoy every word I
type during those chats. In general, whether I like or dislike some certain words, it is not only
depends on words itself, but also depends on the words–using in its different situations.
–What's easy; what's not? Personally, I think poems and some traditional literatures are very hard
for me. In contrast, I feel easy when I read novels and scientific papers.
–Who are you as a reader, writer, thinker, speaker, listener?
– If you're lucky enough to think, read, hear, write in

Campus Descriptive Essay
West Virginia University has hands down the most gorgeous campus I have ever seen. Every
morning I would wake up knowing that I have the privilege of attending a good school with a
breathtakingly beautiful campus. I was gradually awoken by the warm rays of sunlight filtering
into my room like a gentle wake up call. I got up to look out the window and I saw my fellow
classmates walking to class and going about their days. Stretching and yawning I prepare myself for
the day. I cannot help but to think that today is going to be a good day. As I stepped outside for the
first time I felt the cool breeze gently blowing between the buildings, giving everyone it touches a
breath of fresh air. Strolling through campus, I stopped for a minute to admire how the sun was
shining down on like a spotlight on all the beautiful blue and gold flowers. The landscapers
worked hard planting the flowers of the most royal of blues and the perfect shade of golden
yellow. Walking further down the hill I saw the familiar "flying dub v" on every passing persons
clothing. Most of my classmates were in a rush to get to class, but I took my time just absorbing
my surroundings. A strong breeze carried the scent of freshly cut grass to my nose and embraced
me as I continued my journey to class. Passing several students on my way, nodding my head in
acknowledgement, a few familiar faces make eye contact and smile. The weather that day was
perfect, not too hot, but

Descriptive Essay About A Festival
My excitement was almost palpable as I drove past Lake Okeechobee, watching sunlight bounce
reflectively off the massive body of water. My 6 best friends and I were moments away from
entering into the majestic festival land. Entering the festival grounds, we where bursting with
excitement and energy, partly because we were sitting still in a cramped car for 2 hours. The car
was moving only several inches per minute, but as the car took covered more territory, so did my
eagerness. There were only a couple of feet distancing our car from the next; everyone else was as
enthusiastic as I. I saw smiles and excitement and heard electronic music in the background, all
while sitting and waiting in a vehicle. It can to my realization that this was the first time I was
surrounded by a whole spectrum of unique people. Some attendees looked like they had just stepped
out of a Madonna music video, with neon colored clothes and asymmetrical patters; others wore
shorts and a tank top. However, there were two similarities among us: we came to dance to each
beat of the music and we all suffered from the humid, swampy, hot weather.
Although my friends and I wanted to park the car and head straight to the festival, we had some
housekeeping to do. Three tents and a camp area later, we were ready to start dancing to the
electronic music and enjoying our three day festival weekend. The summer heat was unbearable, as
the humidity engulfed the air and the sunrays kept reluctantly burning our

Descriptive Essay
It was a seemingly beautiful day as I drove on a joy ride in my bright blue sports car, with the
wind in my hair. This is an everyday activity for me. My friends would mock me saying, "You
spend more money on gas than you make working." I laughed to myself at the thought of jokes
amongst my friends. That happiness was soon halted. As I continued driving, I saw a car coming
rapidly around the curve. The car did not show any signs of slowing down as it headed towards the
intersection. The light turned yellow and then quickly red. Another object caught my eye that made
me fear what was going to happen next. A young couple started crossing the street wearing fancy
attire. The first thought that came to mind was, 'they are...show more content...
One of the police officers came up to me introduced himself, asked me my name and started, "Have
you ever seen this driver before? On the road or around town?" I quickly responded, "No, I have not

is considered the town drunk and does not currently have a valid license due to drinking and
driving". He asked me some questions and asked me to fill out an incident report. Still shaken up by
the whole incident I gladly accepted. The officer ended our conversation. "Thank you so much for
your time, Kevin. We really appreciate it."
The only thought running through my head on my way home was how much I had not
appreciated my wife and children. To witness something of that nature makes one conscientious
about what you have and how quickly it could vanish. I vowed after that day to speak out against
drinking and driving and the terrible outcomes that can transpire from something that some do
not view as a "big deal". It is apparent that better ways have to be found for getting drunk drivers off
the road. I encourage anyone to be responsible for their lives and others by agreeing to never drink
and drive again, and to also aid your family and friends in doing so. Have a designated driver each
night or call a cab. Everyone is capable of saving a

The art studies–at–large trip has been a once in a lifetime trip. From a twenty–four hour plane trip
with a stop in Chicago and time zone change, it has been an exhausting yet enjoyable time running
around with my classmates in the airport. Being in a different country and experiencing a new
culture first hand was astonishing and gave me a new outlook of the beauties in the world. From
Montone, Florence, Venice, andRome I had the ultimate trip in Italy. The food, language, and
culture were different from what I was used to but it was worth the experience. I was not fond of
drinking wine with every dinner though the wine was delicious. I had the best pastas, tiramisus,
and coffees while I was in Italy. The art was beautiful; it was breathtaking to see how many free
artworks was there for the public. After being in Italy for about a month I can see why people are
attracted and want to live in Italy. Montone is a beautiful, peaceful, and friendly town. I enjoyed
the walk to town, the covenant, Aries CafГ©, the tavern restaurant, and the town's people. I had
the best cappuccino and coffee at Aries and I loved every dish I ate at the tavern restaurant. The
view from the covenant was beautiful and works perfectly for a painting. Getting around town was
easy with everyone being so nice and helpful. The piazza was a great place to hang out because of
friendly the environment was and it was the main spot in town where everyone stayed. Getting a

Descriptive And Prescriptive Grammar
Introduction In this essay I will discuss the definition of the concept grammar in linguistic science
and thee attitude teachers may have towards such a conceptualization of what grammar is. I will
go into detail by explaining perspective and descriptive grammar. Descriptive Grammar The first
thing that I will be discussing is the definition of descriptive grammar. A descriptive grammar is a
set of rules about language based on how it is actually used. It can relate with a prescriptive
grammar, which is a set of rules based on how people think language should be used. Specialists in
descriptive grammar (linguists) examine the principles and patterns that underlie the use of words,
phrases, clauses, and sentences. In contrast, prescriptive...show more content...
Examples of prescriptive grammar rules can be found in practically every guide to "good"
language usage, grammar rule book, or grammar guide. Teacher's attitude towards grammar
Grammar has always been an important issue in second and foreign language learning and
teaching. Some hold the view that grammar is not essential for second/foreign language learning
and therefore have a 'zero position' regarding grammar teaching. On the other hand, some view
that grammar is necessary for second/foreign language learning. There is often confusion between
what is prescriptively correct under the rules of standard English grammar within different
varieties, which results in various options for classroom grammar teaching for second language
learners. In the classroom relating to descriptive grammar learners can be encouraged to move
away from a prescriptive approach to grammar by using a guided discovery in which they look for
examples of variations in use in authentic texts. These examples can be compared to prescriptive
rules in order to decide if they are useful or

Descriptive Essay On A Trip To The City
The feeling of my breakfast trying to see the outside world again, combined with the earthquake like
turbulence made me more than ready to hop off the plane. It was ten in the morning and I couldn't
wait any longer to begin the start of a new adventure. Seven months had passed since my mother
announced that the family was going to take a trip to one of the most iconic cities in America. We
had looked up practically every single tourist attraction that New York cityhad to offer. After weeks
of arguing we booked a trip with a tour guide who would take us all around the city in a day. The
advertisement said we would be taking a trip to Queens, Manhattan, and to the Statue of Liberty.
The plane finally landed and it was time to explore and see what the "Big Apple" had to offer.
Heading out of our terminal, we were greeted by our tour guide, who had a face whiter than snow
and a gigantic smile. I walked into the bus and greeted the strangers that were going to accompany
us. As the bus traveled along the road leading to our destination, I noticed how different New York
City was from my hometown of Houston, Texas. Everything in the "Big Apple" felt more modern,
and there was a much different, possibly busier aura around the people living there. As I
contemplated about the differences, our tour guide had stopped at our first destination, the
Chinatown of Queens, New York. Walking out of the bus, I immediately felt immersed into the
community. It was as if everyone in the

Descriptive Essay On Poverty
People are dying every minute because of this terrible disease. No antidotes have been found to
eliminate it. Poverty is like an epidemic with no antidote affecting the entire world. It has already
killed billions of people, and will continue killing unless we do something to stop it. Have you ever
thought what living in poverty is like? Seeing a shocking picture in which people were trying to
survive gave me a whole different perspective. That image showed me one of the poorest areas of
the planet where people were living under despicable conditions. They were working in
sweatshops, collecting garbage and living in broken down huts in order to survive. A polluted
river passes across from their humble homes, causing incomparable complication to their lives. I
could observe the terrible conditions in which this people are working, fishing and collecting
garbage. Not only pollution is shown in this photo, above of the photograph a bridge could be
observed. I imagine the noise, and the dust that this little detail brings to their lives. That
photograph made me feel angry at politicians because they could do a better job helping the
needy. Since they were almost dying, I felt sad for the circumstances they live in. A sense of
admiration for the way they are able to survive, gave me the strength to fight against this global
scourge. The author of this picture is trying to convey a message, showing us poverty in all its faces

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always
grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's
houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different
people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group
projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work
together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them.
Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic
circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme
gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a
family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities.

Its cold, windy, and sunny all at the same time. The beach stretches for miles seeming endless,
until it reaches a tall cliff with waves crashing against it. The sun shines down on the moisture in
the air creating a "sparkling" affect to add to the view. In some spots on the coast giant rock
formations stick out of the water, creating a question on how they formed there. Sea creatures dot
the sand everywhere. Walking the beach with sand between your toes is and not a worry in your mind
is one of the best feelings. If you time it right early in the mornings and late in the night low tide
takes place and you can find sand dollars and unique shells. Beautiful houses and hotels line the
beach all with the same withered look they all strive to have, and balconies on every place to
capture the view. This destination is such an important place to Oregonians because its such a
magical place. It transports you into a different dimension where there are no other places like it.
You cannot be one the beach without a smile on your face, it's near impossible to be in a gloomy
mood when there. Mainly magical because you can escape there with family and friends with many
opportunities to try to experience new or traditional things. Like having a fire on a beach roasting

Descriptive Essay On The Amusement Park
It was supposed to be the best day ever. I was going to the amusement park with my family for the
first time that summer. My mother, sister and I, just like years before. No twelve year old loves
anything more than spending a day riding around in high flying roller coasters, indulging in endless
amounts of cotton candy and failing to successfully throw rings onto bottle tops. But something
didn't feel right that morning. Something didn't feel the same as the years before. As we entered the
park my heart was pounding out of my chest with excitement. What's the biggest ride I can go on?
Where are all the basketball games? These thoughts were racing through my mind as I was taking in
the colossal roller coasters and breathing in the tantalizing aroma of fried food. Throughout the
summer my friends told me tales of this new roller coaster that the park had just installed. "The
Goliath" they called it. It was supposed to be the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the park with
the most corkscrews and twists than any ride I'd ever seen before. This had to be the first ride we
went on. The Goliath was impossible to miss. Neon green tracks with blue cabins. We waited in
line for hours. I could feel the emotion in the air almost as if everyone was ready to scream out in
pure excitement and anxiousness. It was finally our turn to get on. My sister sat in the cabin
behind me while my mom and I sat in the front. The ride began to take off and the adrenaline
poured through my body. I don't remember much from the actual ride itself, but I vividly
remembered what followed. Getting off the ride I was full of excitement, thinking to myself "I
need to go at least one more time". I turned to my mother, looking to bribe her into another ride
until she couldn't refuse. But what I saw on her face was a look of complete shock. "I think I
broke my leg" she said in a tone I had never heard her use in my life before. I was stunned. I looked
down at her legs and didn't see anything unusual. She attempted to get out of the ride and limped
away. The strongest woman I had ever met in my life was now broken and I couldn't do anything to
help her. "Someone help my mom" I cried out in desperation, looking for someone to come over

It was a bright and sunny day in mid–July, not a cloud in sight. I could feel the intense heat against
the back of my neck as I rode my bike along a remote mountain trail with my friend entail. We were
heading back towards the campgrounds after a long day of fun and adventure. As the beautiful sun
set across the horizon I realized that with the setting of the sun came the end to a long day full of
energy and livelihood. The very sun that made me sweat earlier that day gave me the the ability to
see and experience my surroundings. The light from the sun granted me the ability to see where I
was going on my bike, as it allows everyone to go about their daily lives with little to no thought
whatsoever.
After the sun had set my stomach began to rumble, signalling that dinner time was fast
approaching. That night we made a campfire and whipped up some good ol' fashion hot dogs. As
I was eating my hot dog I wondered, why is it that meat must be cooked? Looking at it now, I
know that it has to do with the fact that food is easier to digest when cooked and that humans have
evolved to the point where we need cooked food in order to gain more energy. As hours passed by
the sunny summer day became a sheer cold night. The only thing that was keeping all of us warm
was the heat being emitted from the campfire. The campfire brought the whole family together.

Descriptive Essay About Memories
Our lives are filled with many favorable memories, but only the best ones are formed when we
gain something from them. A great memory that I have is when I went to my first concert in
Richmond with my friend, Ciana, in March of 2017. This concert is one of my best memories
because it taught me how fun life can be, no matter how wild it may become.
My friend and I aren't wild people, but we do like to randomly plan crazy things. Ciana randomly
messaged me one month before and asked if I wanted to go see this band in March. With a why not
attitude, I agreed to go. I wasn't dying to see the band live, but I did enjoy their music. There was

To our left, there were stands where you could buy shirts. Since they weren't busy, we decided to
give the tall vender forty bucks for two of the band's tour t–shirts. It was a quick interaction, so we
still had plenty of time left. We figured we would go ahead and wait in the medium sized crowd.
The only part of the room that was well lit, was the stage. As we patiently waited, the variety of
bright colors danced across the stage. Slowly, more people came in and filled the crowd area in the
room. The stage and band equipment was set up by these men who paced across the stage. As we
waited for what seemed like eternity, time slowly stretched like finely rolled out dough. Finally, the
lights went out, and the first band came on stage.
The entire crowd screamed as loud as they can. The lights came back on and the first band comes
out. As we are enjoying the music we're listening to, the singer asks the crowd to make a moshpit.
Instantly, everybody is pushing to the perimeters of the crowd area in order to make a clear space.
Forming right next to where my friend and I are standing, the mosh pit errupted. It was very rough
to stand on the outer edge of the moshpit, but thankfully, this tall guy was our savior as he blocked
us from the tornado of bodies within the moshpit. Slowly, we pushed ourselves away from the

Rhythm. The sunlight lightly tapped a beat on my arms, warming me. The crate below me was hot
to the touch. I felt the soft sand as I brushed my toes through it. The beach was full of crates. Heaps
of them lay in the sun, tanning and conversing in their wooden ways. A few people populated the
beach. A cluster of young men was behind me. I listened to their conversation. I had an odd habit of
doing that– eavesdropping. I got up, whispering goodbye to the sand as I slipped on my shoes and
jacket. I trudged back to the town. Tall, black fences surrounded it. The place was mostly isolated.
The closest town was quite a walk, around a kilometer away. Guards were posted at the fence, but
they mostly just played games and texted on their phones. The security was quite good in my
town. The guard noticed me as I walked up to him. "Your ID?" he asked, glancing up from his
device. Everyone in the town had a specific ID. You had to be of the town to get in. It was possible
to invite guests from other towns by being with them when they came to the gates, but the town in
general was not very happy to take visitors. "Welcome to Watsberg, again." The guard opened the
gates and I slowly walked to my destination. The sinister–looking houses glared at me. I pulled my
jacket tighter. Not a single human being was outside. That didn't take into consideration all the other
animals living in the town. Rats scampered around the deserted streets and dogs loped. Nobody
went outside at one o'clock.

Descriptive Essay On A Trip To The Mountains
I have known a place tucked away in the Blue Ridge mountains for a majority of my life. My
family and I take an hour and a half long drive up to the mountains almost every weekend.
Although the drive is always tiring, the final destination is always worth the trip. Personally, my
family calls this place a second home. As a result of the cabin, my appreciation for nature grew
and I started to learn the path to gaining a more peaceful, enjoyableapproach to life. Up in these
mountains is a cabin: a sanctuary built for relaxation. As I approach the cabin, I'm immediately
greeted by a gentle breeze that makes my cheeks redden and my smile grow. The breeze continues
to blow and the trees sway slightly to produce a song created from the swaying of the Evergreen
trees that rub against each other, and the leaves sliding across the dry ground. On lucky days , the
bellowing whistle of the train blows greets us and combines with the sound of the wind to create
the music of fall in the mountains. Stopping in my tracks, I look around in awe to see all of the
colors under the sun mixing together in the trees to form the perfect mixture of bright yellows,
wine colored reds, golden browns, pale greens, and dull or extravagant oranges. Ordinarily, a
slight mist will ascend from the river and form at the top of the mountain, giving it a mystical
appearance that came right out of a book. This mist slowly fogs my glasses as the cold air meets
my flushed skin; however, I don't remove my

There's no one to talk to... I hate this place. The smell, the silence, the way that time hangs in the
air catalyses my irritation. I scream yet no one hears. I question but no one answers. I'm just
waiting for the day I die and no one finds me. I guess I won't be there to enjoy that.
Chester, the cat, ambles his way through the hallway. I can hear the scratching of his paws on the
front of the mahogany door which stands imposingly like a body guard. The cold winter chill
swivels in the air, mocking and taunting me with its icy fangs. Night is approaching. I can sense
that it is going to be one of those nights where the clouds hang oppressively low, shrouding the
moon beneath their black drapes. However I know that every now and then she would emerge in
full beauty, casting light over this gothic castle. Chester continues to scratch at the door; his
behaviour has become increasingly agitated over the past few weeks. I guess I'm not the only one
here which the silence is driving increasingly insane.
The old earthen tiles tessellate in endless uniformity throughout the hallway in a black white
fashion. The chandeliers hang from the ceiling; each piece of glassware hangs like a dagger on
the piece of a fragile thread, waiting to fall on the unfortunate victim. As I stare at the swaying
knives, daring one to fall, sudden toll of a distant bell reverberates through the hallway, sending a
shockwave that ripples through me. I need to escape. These cold, lifeless tiles hurt me feet as I
begin to run with increasing frustration. My hands begin to clench, as my heart beats harder and
louder. All of a sudden however I stop. The golden handle of the front door stands ajar, tempting
me to open it to unlock the realms of the open world. However, just as I touch the knob, my hands
freeze in fear. What if I get caught? I'm not allowed to go outside in the dark. I don't want to get in
trouble. Biting on my nails as the sweat begins to drop from my face, I decide to leave.
Just as I leave Chester scurries his way through the marginally open door, following me with tireless
diligence. The warmth of the mud between my toes instantly pervades my spirit as I walk through
the lush green country side. The twilight sky sparkles,

Topics To Write A Descriptive Essay On

  • 1. Descriptive Essay : Words, Words Words? What is the meaning of words? Through someone's aspect, it could be considered as the most efficient communicating tool of human being. On the other hand, some people may treat it as an irreplaceable expression of their emotion. Objectively speaking, "words" could definitely be concluded in both ways above, but in my opinion, using words is a privilege and honor. I use words to gain knowledge and words give me all kinds of possibilities of understanding new stuff when I intend to enhance my personal abilities. –When do you like words; when not? Mostly, words represents simple language communication and stand for a carrier of people's emotion. For example, I felt very upset and frustrated when I got a few deny letters from some universities I applied in the last year of my high school. During that time, every single word from these letters turned to be sharp and dreadful. However, when I have a chat with my old friends, I usually enjoy every moment of texting and also enjoy every word I type during those chats. In general, whether I like or dislike some certain words, it is not only depends on words itself, but also depends on the words–using in its different situations. –What's easy; what's not? Personally, I think poems and some traditional literatures are very hard for me. In contrast, I feel easy when I read novels and scientific papers. –Who are you as a reader, writer, thinker, speaker, listener? – If you're lucky enough to think, read, hear, write in Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Campus Descriptive Essay West Virginia University has hands down the most gorgeous campus I have ever seen. Every morning I would wake up knowing that I have the privilege of attending a good school with a breathtakingly beautiful campus. I was gradually awoken by the warm rays of sunlight filtering into my room like a gentle wake up call. I got up to look out the window and I saw my fellow classmates walking to class and going about their days. Stretching and yawning I prepare myself for the day. I cannot help but to think that today is going to be a good day. As I stepped outside for the first time I felt the cool breeze gently blowing between the buildings, giving everyone it touches a breath of fresh air. Strolling through campus, I stopped for a minute to admire how the sun was shining down on like a spotlight on all the beautiful blue and gold flowers. The landscapers worked hard planting the flowers of the most royal of blues and the perfect shade of golden yellow. Walking further down the hill I saw the familiar "flying dub v" on every passing persons clothing. Most of my classmates were in a rush to get to class, but I took my time just absorbing my surroundings. A strong breeze carried the scent of freshly cut grass to my nose and embraced me as I continued my journey to class. Passing several students on my way, nodding my head in acknowledgement, a few familiar faces make eye contact and smile. The weather that day was perfect, not too hot, but Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Descriptive Essay About A Festival My excitement was almost palpable as I drove past Lake Okeechobee, watching sunlight bounce reflectively off the massive body of water. My 6 best friends and I were moments away from entering into the majestic festival land. Entering the festival grounds, we where bursting with excitement and energy, partly because we were sitting still in a cramped car for 2 hours. The car was moving only several inches per minute, but as the car took covered more territory, so did my eagerness. There were only a couple of feet distancing our car from the next; everyone else was as enthusiastic as I. I saw smiles and excitement and heard electronic music in the background, all while sitting and waiting in a vehicle. It can to my realization that this was the first time I was surrounded by a whole spectrum of unique people. Some attendees looked like they had just stepped out of a Madonna music video, with neon colored clothes and asymmetrical patters; others wore shorts and a tank top. However, there were two similarities among us: we came to dance to each beat of the music and we all suffered from the humid, swampy, hot weather. Although my friends and I wanted to park the car and head straight to the festival, we had some housekeeping to do. Three tents and a camp area later, we were ready to start dancing to the electronic music and enjoying our three day festival weekend. The summer heat was unbearable, as the humidity engulfed the air and the sunrays kept reluctantly burning our Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The sun is starting to drag itself lower, dimming the landscape, leaving a majestic orange on the horizon. The towering structures above leave enormous shadows on the people below.

The car makes it's way down a small street, with old fashioned houses. The car comes to a halt in front of a beautiful tan house. The house feels cozy. The tan painted planks of wood stack up until they reach the charcoal shingles of the rooftop. Two enormous windows are on the front of the house, with fine, white curtains that can be seen hanging from them on the other side. On the left side of a house there is a large chimney, which gives the house a traditional look with it's brown and red bricks. In the front yard of the house there is a smooth, clean concrete walkway to the front door, surrounded by many bushes, and flowers; trimmed perfectly. This house is well kept, and it stands out as a beauty in the neighborhood. The man walks up his paved walkway, and into the house through a large white door, with four small windows on it, and a cross like pattern beneath them.

  • 5. Descriptive Essay Descriptive Essay It was a seemingly beautiful day as I drove on a joy ride in my bright blue sports car, with the wind in my hair. This is an everyday activity for me. My friends would mock me saying, "You spend more money on gas than you make working." I laughed to myself at the thought of jokes amongst my friends. That happiness was soon halted. As I continued driving, I saw a car coming rapidly around the curve. The car did not show any signs of slowing down as it headed towards the intersection. The light turned yellow and then quickly red. Another object caught my eye that made me fear what was going to happen next. A young couple started crossing the street wearing fancy attire. The first thought that came to mind was, 'they are...show more content... One of the police officers came up to me introduced himself, asked me my name and started, "Have you ever seen this driver before? On the road or around town?" I quickly responded, "No, I have not officer." He continued, "I learned from the call back to the station that the driver, David Chrisenger, is considered the town drunk and does not currently have a valid license due to drinking and driving". He asked me some questions and asked me to fill out an incident report. Still shaken up by the whole incident I gladly accepted. The officer ended our conversation. "Thank you so much for your time, Kevin. We really appreciate it." The only thought running through my head on my way home was how much I had not appreciated my wife and children. To witness something of that nature makes one conscientious about what you have and how quickly it could vanish. I vowed after that day to speak out against drinking and driving and the terrible outcomes that can transpire from something that some do not view as a "big deal". It is apparent that better ways have to be found for getting drunk drivers off the road. I encourage anyone to be responsible for their lives and others by agreeing to never drink and drive again, and to also aid your family and friends in doing so. Have a designated driver each night or call a cab. Everyone is capable of saving a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Descriptive Experience Essay Filled with excitement and joy I began to fill my suitcase, overloading with clothing that I most likely will not wear. A I finish my exaggerated packing I heard a thumping sound of knocks at the front door. I hurriedly squish everything and make my way to the door only to be greeted by Ely's joyful expression. Once we manage to pack our things in the trunk we head off to the airport. Once at the airport were greeted with our growling tummies ready to devour. We have fifteen minutes before our flight leaves, we quickly rush and get in line to the subway station. When ordering I could see all the available sets of nutritional vegetables.

  • 7. Descriptive Essay On A Trip The art studies–at–large trip has been a once in a lifetime trip. From a twenty–four hour plane trip with a stop in Chicago and time zone change, it has been an exhausting yet enjoyable time running around with my classmates in the airport. Being in a different country and experiencing a new culture first hand was astonishing and gave me a new outlook of the beauties in the world. From Montone, Florence, Venice, andRome I had the ultimate trip in Italy. The food, language, and culture were different from what I was used to but it was worth the experience. I was not fond of drinking wine with every dinner though the wine was delicious. I had the best pastas, tiramisus, and coffees while I was in Italy. The art was beautiful; it was breathtaking to see how many free artworks was there for the public. After being in Italy for about a month I can see why people are attracted and want to live in Italy. Montone is a beautiful, peaceful, and friendly town. I enjoyed the walk to town, the covenant, Aries CafГ©, the tavern restaurant, and the town's people. I had the best cappuccino and coffee at Aries and I loved every dish I ate at the tavern restaurant. The view from the covenant was beautiful and works perfectly for a painting. Getting around town was easy with everyone being so nice and helpful. The piazza was a great place to hang out because of friendly the environment was and it was the main spot in town where everyone stayed.

  • 8. Descriptive And Prescriptive Grammar Introduction In this essay I will discuss the definition of the concept grammar in linguistic science and thee attitude teachers may have towards such a conceptualization of what grammar is. I will go into detail by explaining perspective and descriptive grammar. Descriptive Grammar The first thing that I will be discussing is the definition of descriptive grammar. A descriptive grammar is a set of rules about language based on how it is actually used. It can relate with a prescriptive grammar, which is a set of rules based on how people think language should be used. Specialists in descriptive grammar (linguists) examine the principles and patterns that underlie the use of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. In contrast, prescriptive...show more content... Examples of prescriptive grammar rules can be found in practically every guide to "good" language usage, grammar rule book, or grammar guide. Teacher's attitude towards grammar Grammar has always been an important issue in second and foreign language learning and teaching. Some hold the view that grammar is not essential for second/foreign language learning and therefore have a 'zero position' regarding grammar teaching. On the other hand, some view that grammar is necessary for second/foreign language learning. There is often confusion between what is prescriptively correct under the rules of standard English grammar within different varieties, which results in various options for classroom grammar teaching for second language learners. In the classroom relating to descriptive grammar learners can be encouraged to move away from a prescriptive approach to grammar by using a guided discovery in which they look for examples of variations in use in authentic texts. These examples can be compared to prescriptive rules in order to decide if they are useful or Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Descriptive Essay On A Trip To The City The feeling of my breakfast trying to see the outside world again, combined with the earthquake like turbulence made me more than ready to hop off the plane. It was ten in the morning and I couldn't wait any longer to begin the start of a new adventure. Seven months had passed since my mother announced that the family was going to take a trip to one of the most iconic cities in America. We had looked up practically every single tourist attraction that New York cityhad to offer. After weeks of arguing we booked a trip with a tour guide who would take us all around the city in a day. The advertisement said we would be taking a trip to Queens, Manhattan, and to the Statue of Liberty. The plane finally landed and it was time to explore and see what the "Big Apple" had to offer. Heading out of our terminal, we were greeted by our tour guide, who had a face whiter than snow and a gigantic smile. I walked into the bus and greeted the strangers that were going to accompany us. As the bus traveled along the road leading to our destination, I noticed how different New York City was from my hometown of Houston, Texas. Everything in the "Big Apple" felt more modern, and there was a much different, possibly busier aura around the people living there. As I contemplated about the differences, our tour guide had stopped at our first destination, the Chinatown of Queens, New York. Walking out of the bus, I immediately felt immersed into the community. It was as if everyone in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Descriptive Essay On Poverty People are dying every minute because of this terrible disease. No antidotes have been found to eliminate it. Poverty is like an epidemic with no antidote affecting the entire world. It has already killed billions of people, and will continue killing unless we do something to stop it. Have you ever thought what living in poverty is like? Seeing a shocking picture in which people were trying to survive gave me a whole different perspective. That image showed me one of the poorest areas of the planet where people were living under despicable conditions. They were working in sweatshops, collecting garbage and living in broken down huts in order to survive. A polluted river passes across from their humble homes, causing incomparable complication to their lives.

I have always grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's houses and hear them communicating in another language.

For example, in school when we work in group projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them. Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic circumstances.

  • 13. Descriptive Essay On The Amusement Park It was supposed to be the best day ever. I was going to the amusement park with my family for the first time that summer. My mother, sister and I, just like years before. No twelve year old loves anything more than spending a day riding around in high flying roller coasters, indulging in endless amounts of cotton candy and failing to successfully throw rings onto bottle tops. But something didn't feel right that morning. Something didn't feel the same as the years before. As we entered the park my heart was pounding out of my chest with excitement. What's the biggest ride I can go on? Where are all the basketball games? These thoughts were racing through my mind as I was taking in the colossal roller coasters and breathing in the tantalizing aroma of fried food. Throughout the summer my friends told me tales of this new roller coaster that the park had just installed. "The Goliath" they called it. It was supposed to be the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the park with the most corkscrews and twists than any ride I'd ever seen before. This had to be the first ride we went on. The Goliath was impossible to miss. Neon green tracks with blue cabins. We waited in line for hours. I could feel the emotion in the air almost as if everyone was ready to scream out in pure excitement and anxiousness. It was finally our turn to get on. My sister sat in the cabin behind me while my mom and I sat in the front. The ride began to take off and the adrenaline poured through my body. I don't remember much from the actual ride itself, but I vividly remembered what followed. Getting off the ride I was full of excitement, thinking to myself "I need to go at least one more time". I turned to my mother, looking to bribe her into another ride until she couldn't refuse. But what I saw on her face was a look of complete shock. "I think I broke my leg" she said in a tone I had never heard her use in my life before. I was stunned. I looked down at her legs and didn't see anything unusual. She attempted to get out of the ride and limped away. The strongest woman I had ever met in my life was now broken and I couldn't do anything to help her. "Someone help my mom" I cried out in desperation, looking for someone to come over Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I could feel the intense heat against the back of my neck as I rode my bike along a remote mountain trail with my friend entail. We were heading back towards the campgrounds after a long day of fun and adventure. As the beautiful sun set across the horizon I realized that with the setting of the sun came the end to a long day full of energy and livelihood. The very sun that made me sweat earlier that day gave me the the ability to see and experience my surroundings. The light from the sun granted me the ability to see where I was going on my bike, as it allows everyone to go about their daily lives with little to no thought whatsoever. After the sun had set my stomach began to rumble, signalling that dinner time was fast approaching. That night we made a campfire and whipped up some good ol' fashion hot dogs. As I was eating my hot dog I wondered, why is it that meat must be cooked? Looking at it now, I know that it has to do with the fact that food is easier to digest when cooked and that humans have evolved to the point where we need cooked food in order to gain more energy. As hours passed by the sunny summer day became a sheer cold night. The only thing that was keeping all of us warm was the heat being emitted from the campfire. The campfire brought the whole family together. Many scary as well as funny stories were told that night. It was not until years later that I realized that a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 17. Descriptive Essay About Memories Our lives are filled with many favorable memories, but only the best ones are formed when we gain something from them. A great memory that I have is when I went to my first concert in Richmond with my friend, Ciana, in March of 2017. This concert is one of my best memories because it taught me how fun life can be, no matter how wild it may become. My friend and I aren't wild people, but we do like to randomly plan crazy things. Ciana randomly messaged me one month before and asked if I wanted to go see this band in March. With a why not attitude, I agreed to go. I wasn't dying to see the band live, but I did enjoy their music. There was three other bands playing at that concert, but I wasn't familiar with any of them. Becoming familiar ...show more content... To our left, there were stands where you could buy shirts. Since they weren't busy, we decided to give the tall vender forty bucks for two of the band's tour t–shirts. It was a quick interaction, so we still had plenty of time left. We figured we would go ahead and wait in the medium sized crowd. The only part of the room that was well lit, was the stage. As we patiently waited, the variety of bright colors danced across the stage. Slowly, more people came in and filled the crowd area in the room. The stage and band equipment was set up by these men who paced across the stage. As we waited for what seemed like eternity, time slowly stretched like finely rolled out dough. Finally, the lights went out, and the first band came on stage. The entire crowd screamed as loud as they can. The lights came back on and the first band comes out. As we are enjoying the music we're listening to, the singer asks the crowd to make a moshpit. Instantly, everybody is pushing to the perimeters of the crowd area in order to make a clear space. Forming right next to where my friend and I are standing, the mosh pit errupted. It was very rough to stand on the outer edge of the moshpit, but thankfully, this tall guy was our savior as he blocked us from the tornado of bodies within the moshpit. Slowly, we pushed ourselves away from the moshpit and towards the stage. At this point, my arm had already formed a bruise from the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Descriptive Essay Rhythm. The sunlight lightly tapped a beat on my arms, warming me. The crate below me was hot to the touch. I felt the soft sand as I brushed my toes through it. The beach was full of crates. Heaps of them lay in the sun, tanning and conversing in their wooden ways. A few people populated the beach. A cluster of young men was behind me. I listened to their conversation. I had an odd habit of doing that– eavesdropping. I got up, whispering goodbye to the sand as I slipped on my shoes and jacket. I trudged back to the town. Tall, black fences surrounded it. The place was mostly isolated. The closest town was quite a walk, around a kilometer away. Guards were posted at the fence, but they mostly just played games and texted on their phones. The security was quite good in my town. The guard noticed me as I walked up to him. "Your ID?" he asked, glancing up from his device. Everyone in the town had a specific ID. You had to be of the town to get in. It was possible to invite guests from other towns by being with them when they came to the gates, but the town in general was not very happy to take visitors. "Welcome to Watsberg, again." The guard opened the gates and I slowly walked to my destination. The sinister–looking houses glared at me. I pulled my jacket tighter. Not a single human being was outside. That didn't take into consideration all the other animals living in the town. Rats scampered around the deserted streets and dogs loped. Nobody went outside at one o'clock.

  • 19. Descriptive Essay On A Trip To The Mountains I have known a place tucked away in the Blue Ridge mountains for a majority of my life. My family and I take an hour and a half long drive up to the mountains almost every weekend. Although the drive is always tiring, the final destination is always worth the trip. Personally, my family calls this place a second home. As a result of the cabin, my appreciation for nature grew and I started to learn the path to gaining a more peaceful, enjoyableapproach to life. Up in these mountains is a cabin: a sanctuary built for relaxation. As I approach the cabin, I'm immediately greeted by a gentle breeze that makes my cheeks redden and my smile grow. The breeze continues to blow and the trees sway slightly to produce a song created from the swaying of the Evergreen trees that rub against each other, and the leaves sliding across the dry ground. On lucky days , the bellowing whistle of the train blows greets us and combines with the sound of the wind to create the music of fall in the mountains. Stopping in my tracks, I look around in awe to see all of the colors under the sun mixing together in the trees to form the perfect mixture of bright yellows, wine colored reds, golden browns, pale greens, and dull or extravagant oranges. Ordinarily, a slight mist will ascend from the river and form at the top of the mountain, giving it a mystical appearance that came right out of a book. This mist slowly fogs my glasses as the cold air meets my flushed skin; however, I don't remove my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 20. Descriptive Essay There's no one to talk to... I hate this place. The smell, the silence, the way that time hangs in the air catalyses my irritation. I scream yet no one hears. I question but no one answers. I'm just waiting for the day I die and no one finds me. I guess I won't be there to enjoy that. Chester, the cat, ambles his way through the hallway. I can hear the scratching of his paws on the front of the mahogany door which stands imposingly like a body guard. The cold winter chill swivels in the air, mocking and taunting me with its icy fangs. Night is approaching. I can sense that it is going to be one of those nights where the clouds hang oppressively low, shrouding the moon beneath their black drapes. However I know that every now and then she would emerge in full beauty, casting light over this gothic castle. Chester continues to scratch at the door; his behaviour has become increasingly agitated over the past few weeks. I guess I'm not the only one here which the silence is driving increasingly insane. The old earthen tiles tessellate in endless uniformity throughout the hallway in a black white fashion. The chandeliers hang from the ceiling; each piece of glassware hangs like a dagger on the piece of a fragile thread, waiting to fall on the unfortunate victim. As I stare at the swaying knives, daring one to fall, sudden toll of a distant bell reverberates through the hallway, sending a shockwave that ripples through me. I need to escape. These cold, lifeless tiles hurt me feet as I begin to run with increasing frustration. My hands begin to clench, as my heart beats harder and louder. All of a sudden however I stop. The golden handle of the front door stands ajar, tempting me to open it to unlock the realms of the open world. However, just as I touch the knob, my hands freeze in fear. What if I get caught? I'm not allowed to go outside in the dark. I don't want to get in trouble. Biting on my nails as the sweat begins to drop from my face, I decide to leave. Just as I leave Chester scurries his way through the marginally open door, following me with tireless diligence. The warmth of the mud between my toes instantly pervades my spirit as I walk through the lush green country side. The twilight sky sparkles, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
