β€œDescribe a time you experienced a strong emotion (e.g., joy, fear, sadness). Write three sentences using vivid details and sensory language to convey that emotion to the reader. Imagine you are writing a personal narrative about a memorable place you visited. Write a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) describing the place, incorporating at least three different sensory details (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to bring the setting to life for the reader. ”
