Create a controlled description
Learn it simply
- Description helps the reader experience a person, place, or moment.
- Choose a viewpoint and move through the scene deliberately, perhaps from a wide view to one small detail.
- Use precise nouns and verbs as well as sensory detail: 'water dripped from the torn awning' is more specific than 'it was a bad place'.
See it. Say it. Understand it.
Water dripped from the torn awning.
A single lamp trembled in the dark shop window.

Description helps the reader experience a person, place, or moment. Choose a viewpoint and move through the scene deliberately, perhaps from a wide view to one small detail. Use precise nouns and verbs as well as sensory detail: 'water dripped from the torn awning' is more specific than 'it was a bad place'. Select a few connected impressions rather than forcing all five senses into every paragraph. A description can contain movement, but a task focused on description should not turn into a plot-heavy narrative.
කෙනෙකු, තැනක් හෝ මොහොතක් සිතේ මැවෙන ලෙස පිළිවෙළකට විස්තර කරන්න. නිවැරදි වචන හා ගැළපෙන දර්ශන කිහිපයක් තෝරාගන්න; විස්තර ලිවීමක් අනවශ්ය සිදුවීම් රැසක කතාවක් බවට හරවන්න එපා.
Plan before drafting: identify the reader, the purpose, and the information that must be included. Select a small number of useful details and place them in a logical order. After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.
ලියන්නේ කාටද, ඇයිද සහ ඇතුළත් කළ යුතු කරුණු මොනවාද යන්න මුලින් සැලසුම් කරන්න. අදහස් පිළිවෙළට ලියා, අර්ථය පැහැදිලි කර පසුව වාක්ය, ක්රියාපද, අක්ෂර වින්යාසය හා විරාම ලකුණු පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.

A short comprehension response, a selective summary, and a developed composition require different amounts of explanation. The examples here are original skill models and do not reproduce a Cambridge paper or its official marking scheme.
