 Hallo every one 

Here I will share my understanding so far from studying English with Mam Yuni Akbar about what descriptive text is.

what is descriptive text? 

Text description is a type of text that aims to describe or explain an object, place, event or phenomenon. The main goal is to give the reader a clear and detailed picture of what is being explained.

2. Description: The description section is the core of the description text. Here, it contains specific details of the object being described.

3. Conclusion: The conclusion section is the conclusion of the descriptive text. Contains the main points that have been described.
