THE END

+Sample Essay

How to Eat An Oreo Cookie

Munch!! Crunch!! Nothing is as good as a scrumptious, creamy, waxy, watering Oreo cookie. I have a special way to eat an Oreo.

First I twist off the top and eat it. It crunches when I eat it. It is very cholaty.

Then I scrape off the smooth vanilla cream. My tongue chipped off the cream. Then I smoothly rubbed the rest off with my tongue.

Lastly, I break the bottom in little pieces. That way the bottom lasts longer. It also makes it more cholaty.

That is how I eat a delicious Oreo cookie. Now, all I need is a glass of warm milk.
