Below is an example of descriptive text using some sensory words.
My favourite food is strawberry pancake. It is brown and smells very nice. Its soft texture
makes it easy to cut with a spoon. I like it better with honey on it because the taste will get sweeter. It is simple to make because you don’t need a mixer
to get fluffy batter. Therefore there will be no buzzing sounds in the kitchen.
My dad always makes it for me whenever he is off work and I think I will help
him this Saturday!
