EnglishStory Task

Use the image to write a description of the main room in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

As Willy Wonka opened the heavy wooden gate, I raced quickly through. So beautiful! The first thing I saw was the huge chocolate waterfall crashing down gracefully. I greedily drank from the large pool below because it smelt like heaven. Next, I carefully picked some of the tender green grass blades so I could try that too. It was soft, sweet and delicious. “Wow! I could stay here all day!” I shouted happily back to Willy Wonka and the other shocked children. Suddenly, I found myself dashing excitedly across the bridge as I wanted to touch the bright buttercups.
