WHAT IS A DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH?
A descriptive paragraph describes how something or someone looks or feels. It gives an impression of something. If you only wanted to
explain to someone what a samovar is, for example, you could write a definition paragraph because a definition paragraph does not include
how the writer feels. However, if you wanted to tell about the feelings you had when you drank a cup of Russian tea that was made in a
samovar, you would write a descriptive paragraph.
