A descriptive article describing an event la carnival/festival)
which takes place every year uses present tenses and normally
includes:
• an introduction in which we mention the name/type, time,
place of the celebration and the reason we celebrate it.
• a main body in which we describe the activities that happen before
the actual event (put up decorations, prepare traditional
food) and the actual event, in separate paragraphs.
• a conclusion in which we describe people’s feelings (At the end of
the day, everyone feels tired but happy.) and any other final
comments on the event.
