Description is the text structure whose main goal is to describe a person, place, or thing using sensory details. Descriptive pieces appeal to one or more of the five senses. It paints a picture in the reader's head. As the writer, you have control over how your reader views your object. You and your classmates won't see things the same way. You may love the gym while your classmate hates it, so your descriptions of the same place will probably differ in many ways. It's up to you to determine how you want to depict the object you are describing.
When formulating the topic sentence for a descriptive paragraph, ask yourself, what's the main thing I want my reader to know about this thing. What's the overall impression I want them to have. Write a sentence that expresses this and then include details that'll help your reader see the object in that light.
