00:00.000 --> 00:04.000
Say it better with describing words.

00:04.000 --> 00:07.000
Hello, little writers.

00:07.000 --> 00:11.000
Today let us learn about describing words.

00:11.000 --> 00:14.000
Describing words tell us how something looks,

00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
smells, tastes, feels, or sounds.

00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
Let's try them one by one.

00:21.000 --> 00:23.000
What is descriptive text?

00:23.000 --> 00:27.000
Descriptive text is when we talk about something so clearly

00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
that the other person can almost see it, hear it,

00:32.000 --> 00:35.000
or feel it in their mind.

00:35.000 --> 00:38.000
Let's start with how things look.

00:38.000 --> 00:41.000
A butterfly is colorful.

00:41.000 --> 00:43.000
A watermelon is big.

00:43.000 --> 00:46.000
A kitten is tiny.

00:46.000 --> 00:50.000
Colorful, big, tiny.

00:50.000 --> 00:54.000
These are describing words.

00:54.000 --> 00:56.000
Let's talk about how things smell.

00:56.000 --> 00:58.000
A rose smells sweet.

00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
Garbage smells stinky.

01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
Soaps smells fresh.

01:02.000 --> 01:05.000
Sweet, stinky, fresh.

01:05.000 --> 01:08.000
These are describing words.

01:08.000 --> 01:11.000
Now let's see how things taste.

01:11.000 --> 01:13.000
Ice cream tastes fruity.

01:13.000 --> 01:16.000
Lemon tastes sour.

01:16.000 --> 01:18.000
Chocolate tastes yummy.

01:18.000 --> 01:21.000
Fruity, sour, yummy.

01:21.000 --> 01:25.000
These are describing words.

01:25.000 --> 01:28.000
Now let's see how things feel.

01:28.000 --> 01:31.000
A teddy bear feels soft.

01:31.000 --> 01:33.000
A rock feels rough.

01:33.000 --> 01:35.000
Ice feels cold.

01:35.000 --> 01:38.000
Soft, rough cold.

01:38.000 --> 01:41.000
These are describing words.

01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
Now let's listen to how things sound.

01:44.000 --> 01:47.000
A drum sounds loud.

01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
A baby sounds quiet.

01:49.000 --> 01:51.000
Rain sounds soft.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
Loud, quiet, soft.

01:54.000 --> 01:57.000
These are describing words.

01:57.000 --> 02:01.000
Let us use describing words in our sentences.

02:01.000 --> 02:03.000
Pick one topic.

02:03.000 --> 02:05.000
Then tell more about it.

02:05.000 --> 02:09.000
How it looks, feels, smells, sounds or tastes.

02:09.000 --> 02:10.000
Let's try.

02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
I have a dog.

02:12.000 --> 02:15.000
I have a big fluffy dog with a wet nose and a loud bark.

02:15.000 --> 02:18.000
Great job.

02:18.000 --> 02:20.000
Let us remember.

02:20.000 --> 02:23.000
We use descriptive words to talk more about things.

02:23.000 --> 02:30.000
They help us show how something looks, smells, tastes, feels or sounds.

02:30.000 --> 02:35.000
Describing words make our sentences more fun.

02:35.000 --> 02:37.000
Great job friends.

02:37.000 --> 02:38.000
See you next time.

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
Bye-bye.
