I mean, I have to write a piece using all five senses:
Sight
Smell
Hear
Touch
Taste

For example: The fairground smelt faintly of cotton candy or the popping candy tasted like strawberries but erupted with sizzles around my mouth.

However this one is required to use all five senses in one.

And my teacher wants me to use very intricate details implying that it is going to be a long writing piece.
