Show transcript
In descriptions, you can focus on how the scene smells, feels, sounds and tastes, as well as just what it looks like. Multi-sensory descriptions make the scene more vivid for your reader. You can use figurative language to create vivid imagery for the reader. Fronted adverbials can build tension by elongating the sentence and delaying the action. To build tension, try describing small details quite comprehensively.
