The Definition of Descriptive Text
Descriptive
text is a text which is telling about the characteristics of a particular
thing, such as place, animal or person’s characteristics or description. A descriptive text focuses on the
characteristic features of a person, an animal, or a particular thing. The aim
of a descriptive text is to give information to the readers by making them see,
hear, feel, etc. what is described in the text.

The Differences Between Report Text and Descriptive Text
What make different, between report and descriptive text, is the scope of the written object. If we talk
about, ex: bicycle, it belongs to report
text. It will talk about bicycle in
general; its parts, physical strengh, function for certain people or other
general characters of bike. In the other hand, descriptive text will convey more
focus, for example "my bicycle" with its specific characters; colour, lengh, wheel style, etc. In short,
report text describes the way of certain things and frequently refer to
phenomenon of nature, animal and scientific object. Mostly, report is written
after getting careful observation. This scientific and technical sense make
clearer difference from descriptive text. The way of descriptive text in
showing thing is based on the objective fact of the thing. It describe the
specific thing simply as the thing is.
