5: Good job with tastes and smells, what could you see? Maybe include some more movement rather than just turning around. What about ambience? Set the scene first with sounds and sights before leaping into action.

4: If the alien asked you what sort of foods could you put in the toaster what would you reply?

3: The last 'Mr Bean' sounds better if it stays because that way you know it's the end because 'Mr Bean ran off.' If you know what I mean?

2: Good.

1: Good.

Wait, why was I doing that if I am a teacher?

Closed by request of the topic owner.

Okay then, let's get this show on the road.

So we have this food called bread. See, it's a litle square of what we call wheat. Here, taste it. See, when you put the bread in the toaster, (make sure it's plugged in) and press this button, it will heat the bread, and a few minutes later, it will pop out as toast, or heated bread!

I wandered through the mass of towering rubberwoods, hearing the rustling of wildlife scampering through the vast jungle. I felt the slight breeze at my back, urging me to go on, further into this foreign marvel of nature. As I watched, the many animals surrounded me, curious of who I was, and what I was doing in their territory. I smelled the familiar fragrance of nature itself, and knew it was not a danger to be there, but rather a privilege to have experienced the many wonders that nature had in store for me that day.

Am I in? (This will really gain respect for me in The Scratch Chatter if I get a 'degree' in this.)

Awesome! Yes your in. One thing though with your rainforest paragraph is you should include more colours. e.g. A deep crimson red orchid...

I hear you have never seen a toaster – well you don’t know very much anyway. I’ll start with bread - bread is food that is made from flour, wheat and water. All these ingredients are mixed together, moulded into a slightly rectangular shape and cooked to create the fluffy, soft texture but also to make it edible.
The subject of bread links into what a toaster is which your original question was. A toaster is an electrical device, traditionally shaped as a silver cuboid, which must be plugged into a socket in order to work. Let me show you. Now, you can only insert bread into toasters. You place the bread into the large slots on top of the device. You then push down the button which triggers the heat. The heat warms the bread up, which turns it into something called toast (A.K.A – heated bread!). This is why this device is called a toaster! Now try it…

It was magnificent. I say that because I’m utterly speechless right now. The crew dropped me off in this rainforest this morning, blindfolded and unaware of where they dropped me off this time. They picked such a beautiful spot, although it happens to be dangerous with the poisonous plants and beastly creatures in cute, colourful forms.
I slowly crept into the deep, dark depths of the rainforest, surrounded by towering trees with dark brown wood and massive dark green leaves. I had no idea what the tree was though. I glanced around, noticing the muddy, marshy earth beneath me, letting off a horrible stench, filling up my nostrils, along with my sour sweat trickling down my forehead. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, an ape swung from the branch and perched itself on top the branch. From that branch, it curiously watched me as I glared back with that same awe. Its brown furry hairs stood on end – it didn’t think t liked me trespassing. Quickly I left before I caused any trouble.
Jogging through the thick branches and leaves, I came to a beautiful tranquil lake in the middle of the rainforest. After touching thick leaves, spiky branches, sticking out in my way and the squelchy mud beneath my boots, I felt I needed a bath after about half an hour of adventure. Cautiously I slipped into the pool and a tingle ran through my body.
“No crocodiles!” I murmured to myself. The coolness of the water reassured my fear and I began to… relax. I glided through the still perfect water, unaware of all the dangers watching me from behind the dark rough tree trunks, planning their next attack on their victim: me. Knowing they wouldn’t do anything just yet, my throat felt parched. I lifted my cupped hands and sipped the water – it tasted so fresh, cold and in moments I was grabbing for my bottle and filling it up with the water. Soon after I heard the leaves rustling behind me. In a split second, whizzed around a scared off a poor little ape that had only come for a drink. A monkey appeared, making that well-known monkey noises. I blinked and a whole group of monkeys arrived. One grabbed my hand and led me up a tree after many attempts. I swear my eyes could have popped out of the sockets when I saw what the monkeys had to show me…

That's it. I hope I'm in....
