"Show don't telll" - English

What do you think “show don’t tell” means?

Show, don't tell is a technique used in various kinds of texts to allow the reader to experience the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the author's exposition, summarization, and description.

How can we re-write these sentences to “show” and not “tell”?

Here is my explained about re writting " show and not tell" sentences.
