    Macquarie University is one of the largest universities in Australia. This year, in 2004, it celebrates its 40thanniversary. ( Identification )

    The university is located at the North Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney, where the New South Wales government sets aside 135 hectares for the institution. In 1964, Macquarie area was a rural retreat on the city fringe, but today the campus and its surroundings have evolved beyond recognition. The North Ryde District has grown into a district of intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing university.Blessed with a fortunate location and room to breathe, Macquarie can be proud of that careful planning that retains and enrich the university’s most attractive natural features. A pleasing balance between buildings and plating is evident across the campus. This emphasis on the importance of landscape has created images of Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely to pleasurably recollect.

    One of the highlights of the landscape is the Mars Creek zone. It comprises landscaped creek sides and valley floor, a grass amphitheatre, and artificial lake… surrounded by rocks and pebbles, native plants and eucalypts.

    Today, a railway station is under construction. In three years1 time, Macquarie will be the only university in Australia with a railway station on site. Macquarie is poised to be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and motorway, yet retaining its beautiful site. ( Description )

    – To describe a particular person, thing or place.]]>     2018-12-23 01:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536966     Definition muhnajib1 https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536967 Descriptive Text is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.
    In a broad sense, description, as explained by Kane (2000: 352), is defined like in the following sentence:
    Description is about sensory experience—how something looks, sounds, tastes. Mostly it is about visual experience, but description also deals with other kinds of perception.

    Thus, if we conclude it from Kane’s explanation above, the descriptive text is meaningful text that describes the experience related to the senses, such as what shape, sound, taste is. Most descriptive text is about visual experience, but in fact experience other than the sense of sight, we can also use it to make descriptive text.

    But in particular, the descriptive text is, “…… is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.”

    So, it can be said that this descriptive text is a text that explains about whether a person or an object is like, whether its form, its properties, its amount and others. The purpose of the descriptive text is clear, that is to describe, represent or reveal a person or an object, either abstract or concrete.]]>     2018-12-23 01:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536967     Descriptive Text muhnajib1 https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536968 Watch the video from the link below]]> 2018-12-23 01:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536968 Introduction muhnajib1 https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536970 What do you think about the video?]]> 2018-12-23 01:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316536970 Task muhnajib1 https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316537803 Describe about something, you can describe animal, place, person and thing]]> 2018-12-23 02:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/muhnajib1/svli2j714bd8/wish/316537803
