Dear Students.Good morning and welcome . Thank you for logging in . 

I am glad that you are moving ahead in your learning every day! Keep it up!

Hope you're coping well with the lockdown and making productive use of your time. It's very important to follow a proper schedule while you're at home ...along with the daily chores you need to make a proper timetable and study regularly. Yesterday we discussed what a descriptive paragraph is and how a descriptive paragraph describing people should be written. Today we will discuss a descriptive paragraph describing an event which will be a lot more easy as you have already completed the previous task

REMINDER: work highlighted in yellow has to be done in the language notebook

DESCRIBING AN EVENT:

An event is something that happens, especially when it is unusual or important. Events could be a concert, a sports event or a family gathering 

At the end of this lesson you will be able to 

Describe an event , in the desired format, by arranging the details logically and using adjectives that make the paragraph

Identify the relevant idiom and make sentences

Your aim would be to ;

Use vivid details involving the sense of smell taste sight touch etc to make the reader feel as if they themselves are present at the event. Use of figures of speech spices up your writing, making it deliciously interesting by comparing the details you are describing to something well known, thus teasing the readers’ imagination.

JUST TO REMIND YOU ;

• Brainstorm before you begin and get your list of details ready to use.
• Organize all your details into proper order as you want them to appear.
• Begin with a topic sentence to draw attention of the readers.
• Construct the details for the body of the paragraph.
• Give a proper ending.
• Keep to the word limit.

THE FOLLOWING ORDER FOR EVENTS WILL HELP YOU :

1.What event / celebration you attended

2.What preparations [ costumes , food etc] are made before the event

3.What happened at the event ,what you saw, heard etc

4.How you felt

You can use linking words to connect the sentences and maintain a logical sequence:  in addition to, moreover, although, in fact, therefore etc are some linking words
