The Prompt

Imagine it's morning and you're about to enjoy your favourite breakfast! We want you to write a descriptive paragraph about one specific food item you might eat for breakfast. This could be anything from a slice of toast to a bowl of cereal, or even a piece of fruit!

Think about using your senses to describe it:

  • What does it look like? (e.g., its colour, shape, size, texture)
  • What does it smell like? (e.g., sweet, fresh, toasty, fruity)
  • What does it taste like? (e.g., sweet, salty, sour, crunchy, soft, warm, cold)
  • What does it feel like in your mouth when you eat it?

Tell us not just what it is, but why you enjoy this particular breakfast treat. Use interesting and exciting words to paint a clear picture for your reader, so they can almost imagine tasting it themselves!

💡 Writing Tips
