d. Using Figures of Speech

Figures of speech are the expressions that convey a meaning beyond their literal sense. And it has its benefit as one of the best ways to make our writing clear and vivid. Writers really depend on figures of speech when they need to explain or clarify abstract, complex, and unfamiliar ideas. Metaphor, simile, and personification can be used to compare an aspect of the person or thing being described to something with which readers are already familiar. In addition, figures of speech make it possible for writers to dramatize or make vivid feelings, concepts, or ideas that would remain abstract and difficult to understand. 22 In short, to write a good descriptive writing, as a writer we should consider those linguistic features in descriptive.
