Describing the Weather
thunder rumbled in the distance
the breeze slowly grew into a gust
the wind hit against the window panes
the silver moon was hanging in the starless sky
a bolt of lightning pierced through the darkness
the sun cast a warm rosy glow through the windows
a blanket of dark clouds unrolled and covered the entire sky
a magnificent flash of lightning illuminated the blackened sky
flashes of lightning were followed by deafening claps of thunder
lightning zigzagged across the sky, followed by a boom of thunder
Describing Places
from across the hall
seated in his favourite armchair
under the shade of a Banyan tree
scurried across the open-air car park
the streets and pavements stood empty
standing outside the brightly lit jewellery shop
pale silver moonlight seeped through the blinds
a metallic blue limousine made its way slowly round the bend
Describing Time
after a hard day’s work
as the seconds ticked by
slowly, she lifted her head
his footsteps came to a sudden halt
the late afternoon light cast a shadow
the first drop of rain splattered onto the ground
he spent almost every moment waiting by her side
as vivid images of his past flashed through his mind
Describing Actions
he sauntered into the room
he walked menacingly towards her with a deliberate slow pace
when he walked, he clenched his fists as if he was about to hit someone
he threw back his head and a hysterical laugh escaped from his chapped, dry lips
pointing an accusing finger at his assailant, he collapsed onto the floor with a thud
she staggered backwards, eyes darting about, in a desperate search for someone to help her
Describing Appearance
a bespectacled middle-aged man
he stood at a towering height of two metres
dark brown curls framed her porcelain smooth face
great flabby folds of fat bulged from every part of his body
a mass of frizzy black hair fell loosely over his pockmarked face
she was a jolly plump woman with a smile that lit up her entire face
her uneven complexion was carefully concealed with a thick layer of powder
Expressing Anger
anger simmered within him
his nostrils flaring with rage
her eyes were filled with rage
her body shook with uncontrollable rage
waves of fury coursed through his veins
feeling angry, he clenched his fists tightly
Expressing Fear
fear clawed at her heart
his glare sent a ripple of fear down my spine
petrified, she cowered into a corner, shivering
he staggered backwards as fear gripped his heart
icy cold fear gripped her heart as the killer advanced towards her
his heart was palpitating wildly as beads of perspiration rolled down his forehead
Expressing Sadness
fighting back his tears, he choked as he spoke
heard the heartrending cries of the starving children
I pleaded tearfully as a feeling of despair welled up inside me
Bitter tears glistened on her eyelashes as she recalled her past
tears filled her eyes as she tried to uncap her bottled up feelings
torn apart by grief and remorse, she let out a heart-wrenching sob
a forlorn look spread across his wrinkled face as a lone tear trickled down his cheek
Expressing Happiness
he broke into peals of laughter
a feeling of elation came over him
whirling around with a cheeky grin on his face
she squealed in delight and jumped around ecstatically
her joyful rendition captured the hearts of everyone in the audience
his face broke into a toothy grin and his eyes sparkled with tears of joy
