    Describing a tree in summer, spring, autumn and winter.

    This post makes describing a tree with the five senses easy. It is a Level 1 post, which means
    it is easy to follow and rewarding for English beginners (i.e. beginners in secondary school).
    Although it is not from my book Writing with Stardust, you can expect to see many of these
    types of word-menus in the book. Just click on any of the book images at the bottom of this
    blog post for more information on my books.
    I hope you enjoy the post.
