Factual description of a process or an event requires a step by step account of an activity, experiment, procedure.

The ideas should be systematically presented with important points coming first followed by not-so-important points. Heading is an essential part of it and should be short and crisp.

Make a note of tenses used in your description as most often this is the place where students find greater difficulty in.

Language

The language used should be semi-formal in nature. Try to be simple, attractive and appealing. Also try not to show your linguistic ability. You should make your factual description in such a way that it shows your attention to detail andobservatory skills.

Content

When did the event occur, venue of the event

Sequence of programme

Information about participants/chief guests/judges

Kind of organization, people responsible for programme/arrangements

Results, if describing a contest

Value points

PERSON based

Physical attributes

Intellectual and emotional qualities

Others’ perception about him/her

Any other relevant trait of him/her by use of an incident

Format

You usually start writing factual descriptions by writing the TITLE at the centre and then following it with regular paragraphs.The factual descriptions would generally look like the following and for ease in organizing, I’ve marked areas so that you know how your content flows in the factual descriptions.



Word limit

80 – 100 words is generally the prescribed word limit for factual descriptions. But, be sure of it by regularly consulting your teachers.

harshaw04: WASHING MACHINE

A washing machine is a convenient appliance that is used for washing clothes. The automatic washing machine has a central drum that is used for holding the clothes. There is a dispensing tray, where the detergent and additives can be put in. The control panel has knobs which control the temperature and allow users to select different modes of operation. The drum also helps to dry clothes by spinning like a centrifuge machine.
harshaw04: A washing machine is usually made of metal parts but some of them are reinforced plastic. They may be front opening or top loading.
