describe things

Know how to explain the features, their relationships and the whole of an item or concept to another person in such a way that the other person is able to form an accurate mental representation of the thing being described, from the description alone (and their own background knowledge).

Knowledge Node Summary

It is important to try to use terms, events and objects that the listener will be familiar with. Initially the thing to be described should be a little like something that they already know. Once this is confirmed, then it is possible to add specialisation to the thing so that it gradually becomes an item in its own right but it will have grown from something familiar.

A summary of expert opinion:

The knowledge named 'describe things' is considered to be very important.
In addition, the knowledge is thought to be quite complex and quite difficult to learn, it is generally learned from experience, and is largely generally used knowledge.
