yourself by suddenly becoming busier than usual. The next step is to calmly
tell the other person that how you are feeling.Then gently let him or her know
that you do not want to be together anymore. Then make sure to be sensitive of
his or her feelings and answer any questions that he or she may have. For

her. After everything is said and done, take some alone time for your self

DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH
Descriptive Paragraph
Descriptive paragraph is paragraph which expresses or
describes place, thing and person in such vivid detail that the readers can
easily visualize the described place, thing and person, or can feel that they

Some descriptive
paragraphs may be technical, for instance, describing about things or place
such as car or classroom; on the other hand, it may describe an event or a
place and include more figurative language (simile, metaphor etc.) or describe
felling or emotion. Therefore, before writing a descriptive paragraph, it is
important to consider the purpose and the audience.
Generic Structure
Descriptive paragraph is intended to describe place,
person, and thing so that the reader will be able to visualize the
descriptions. Writing descriptive paragraph, generally, you have to regard as
the following generic structure of descriptive paragraph:

Example :
Slash
Slash is one of my favourite guitar players. Even
though his skill is not good enough, his style in playing guitar amazes me. He
is tall; moreover, he has white skin with a hairy skull and his name tattooed
on his right upper arm. Besides, he has special characteristic that
differentiates him with other guitarists. For example, his long black curly
hair covered by magician hat and tight skin pants always accompany him when he
rocks his fans with ‘Les Paul Gibson’. Instead of these, he also uses some
accessories such as rings, silver bangles, skull necklace, and a gold ‘nose
ring’ jabbed on the right nostril. To summarize, Slash is very stylish rock
guitarist in his period.
