A descriptive paragraph explains how someone or something looks or
fools. In this type, we use adjectives. They arc words that tell us how
things look, feel, taste, sound, or smell. Adjectives also describe how you
feel about something. Here are a few common adjectives. See the
adjective list on page 25.
To write a good descriptive paragraph, you can answer these

Niagara Falls, a popular destination for thousands of visitors each year, is a
beautiful place. When you stand at the edge and look down at the 188 feet of
white waterfalls, you feel amazed at the power of nature. The tree-lined river
that leads into the falls is fast- moving, pouring over the edge of the falls arid
crashing to the bottom in a loud roar. If you want to experience the falls close
up, go for a boat ride. You’ll come near enough to look up at the roaring
streams of water flowing over the edge and feel the cool mist that rises as the
water hits the rocks below. Seeing Niagara Falls is an unforgettable experience!
