ROUGH DRAFT
Having
a nice ice cream on a hot day with your friends is a sweet treat that almost
everybody enjoys. Who doesn’t have a favourite flavour of ice cream? Since I
became an adult, I have grown to love chocolate ice cream. I prefer chocolate
ice cream that is made with dark chocolate. I like the rich and slightly bitter
smell. When I bite into a cold, slightly crunchy scoop of chocolate ice cream,
I love the sweet delicious taste. The creamy ice cream melts in my mouth. It is
so yummy. It makes me feel happy. The texture is creamy and smooth. Eating
chocolate ice cream satisfies my craving for sugar and sweetness sweet
tooth. It is very refreshing. If I add chocolate chips or hazel nuts, it is
even more scrumptious. I look forward to the next time I can enjoy a
mouth-watering chocolate ice cream cone on a hot day with my friends.
MY ADVICE: Make a list of vocabulary words before
you write.
You can email it to me or give it to me on
paper if you like.
Tomorrow you can read yours out loud.
