|SAMPLE DESCRIPTIVE TEXTS |

|The ice-cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice-cream in the city. When you first walk inside, there is a long chrome|[pic] |

|counter with matching stools extending to alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, the booth seating begins. There are | |

|lots of old-timey knickknacks on the walls and chrome napkin holders on all the tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the | |

|counter glass, where they keep all of the ice-cream flavors. A rainbow of delicious sugary flavors is kept cool and delicious behind the | |

|counter glass. | |

|It was the most beautiful banana split that I had ever seen. In the middle of the bowl, there were three scoops of ice-cream: chocolate, |[pic] |

|strawberry, and vanilla. On top of the ice-cream were a banana and a thick web of chocolate and caramel sauces. A huge puff of whipped | |

|cream covered the sauces and a handful of crushed nuts dappled the whipped cream. On top of it all was a cherry, but I’ve never liked the| |

|soggy squish of cherries. | |

|Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each |[pic] |

|paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors | |

|watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food | |

|commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands. Gregory is as finicky about | |

|visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, | |

|or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts | |

|think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling | |

|to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits. | |
