Descriptive Essay: The Night Market
One of the most interesting places in Malaysia is the night market. You may visit and experience the night market yourselves. Both locals and foreigners agree that the night market is the most common feature in the local society.
The night market begins when the vendors arrive in the late afternoon. More and more goods laden vans arrive to begin a brisk day of business. Most of the vendors busily set out to set up their stalls respectively in order to get ready for a brisk day of business.
The sun gradually sets and the night market picks up momentum. More cars and vans are arriving. By now, the stalls are neatly and strategically arranged to entice their customers. There is an assortment of goods sold ranging from food, toys and clothes, to name a few. A variety of goods is sold at low prices.
Large rainbow-coloured parasols are used to shade the people from rain and shine. A concoction of blaring music can be heard in the night market background amidst the constant shouting. It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells and colours.
The night market is known as a haven by local ‘gourmets’ who can enjoy various kinds of mouth-watering local cuisine. Still more people arrive, they come from all walks of life, mingling freely and harmoniously. Crowds are walking up and down in an endless stream. Some of them are stopping by the stalls and haggling before making purchases. Little children tag along, amused and excited. Sprinklings of tourists join in to experience the lifestyle of typical Malaysian folks.
When night falls, lighted lamps brighten up the place, they add gaiety to this atmosphere, and it is like a funfair. The night wears on and the traffic of people recedes. Vendors get a chance to rest their weary legs besides bantering with each other.
By 10.00 pm, all the stalls call it a day. The vendors pack up and close the van doors. One by one, they leave, leaving behind pieces of papers, plastic bags and discarded boxes. It us an eyesore! Finally, the night market disappears. The place becomes quite and still once more.
Note: Night market is known as "pasar malam" in Malay language.

wow, excellent essay!! wide vocabularies! i was amazed after i read this passage! @.@ --angelina--
The vocabularies are just ok to me .It's how the writers put them into use that counts,eg,"It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights,sounds,smells,colours."I wonder how the writer is able to form such goood sentence.Is it through reading or other reliable sources?Can anybody or the writer tells me?
You must read in order to obtain all those ideas. Try to read novels or maybe newspapers as they provide a wide range of vocabularies perfect for writing essays. If you are not interested in reading, try to find interesting vocabularies in the internet or maybe useful english progammes in TV etc.
good thought process but sounds a bit redundant at times...needs a little improvement
Nice essay here. Adrian, if you ever check back to this post, I believe it is through reading that the writer is able to form a good sentence like this.
I am not the writer of the essay (that credit goes to a higher intellect), but I'm quite confident that he/she achieved it through reading. Lots and lots of reading, as well as lots of writing.

THINAGARAJ=PERFECT ESSAY!EXCELLENT USAGE OF VOCABULARIES!I BLESS THE WRITER WITH MY FULL HEART.

I like it
This essay is just awesome man!!! What an talented people;)
It is okay as an essay, not the best I've read. There are mistakes like the repeated use of "brisk day". The vocabulary is succinct, however, I'd like to be able to "see" the night market in my head, the vision I see when I'm reading this essay is a rather fuzzy one.
that g0od essay ..
