DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

There are some trees in our school. Among them, there is a mango tree. The tree is in front of our classroom.

The mango tree is very old. Maybe, it is the oldest tree at the school. The tree is very big. It takes two children with arms outstretched to completely circle it. Surprisingly, it still bears a lot of fruit. No wonder, when mango season comes, my friends and I get excited. We all like to come to school really early so we can pick all the good ones. Before going home, we can’t help taking a look at the mouth watering sight on the tree, hoping that we might climb it again in the next day.
