Describing Places/ Buildings
For describing places and building you can use various words and sentences but choosing right word at right time and right situation is very important. There are some words which can use in your Ielts writing tests.
A descriptive composition about a place or building should consist of:
a) an introduction in which you give the name and location of the place or building and/or the reason for choosing it;
b) a main body in which you describe the main aspects of the place or building in detail - for example, when you describe a place you should describe what you can see and do there; when you describe a building you should describe its exterior and interior, as well as give historical facts about it;
c) a conclusion which includes your comments/feelings and/or a recommendation.
❗ Descriptions of places or buildings can be found in tourist magazines, travel brochures, stories, letters. etc. The style you use depends on the situation and the intended reader. For example, in an article for a magazine you should use semi-formal style and a polite, respectful tone. You normally use present tenses to describe a place/ building. You use past tenses to write about the historical facts.
