Adjectives

Task 2Take two different sweets and write a descriptive sentence about how they

taste.

My example: Chocolate éclair: When you open the wrapper, the smell is inviting. It is hard when you pop it in your mouth, but it soon becomes soft and chewy. It has a slight vanilla flavour and a creamy texture. What surprises you is the chocolate centre which melts in your mouth! Delicious!!!
