Choose your answer from the list of words below.
______1. Ice-cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in a many different colors and flavors.
Two of my favourite flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are
delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit while chocolate usually will not. Even though
more chocolate ice-cream is sold across the country annually than strawberry, each flavor tastes
great inside of a milk shake.
_______2. The ice-cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice-cream in the
city. When you first walk inside, there is a long chrome counter with matching stools extending
to alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, the booth seating begins. There are lots
of old-timey knickknacks on the walls and chrome napkin holders on all the tables. My favorite
part of the shop is behind the counter glass, where they keep all of the ice cream flavors. A
rainbow of delicious sugary flavors is kept cool and delicious behind the counter glass.
______3. Freezer burn may have wasted more ice-cream than sidewalks. If you don’t know,
freezer burn is when ice crystals form on the surface of ice-cream. These ice crystals can ruin the
texture and flavor of the ice cream. But you can prevent freezer burn. Since freezer burn is
caused when melted ice-cream is refrozen, rather than eating your ice-cream from the container
as it melts, scoop your icecream into a bowl and put the container back in the fridge
immediately. Doing this ought to help you solve your issues with freezer burn.
____4. Have you ever had an ice-cream headache? That’s when a painful sensation resonates in
your head after eating something cold (usually ice-cream) on a hot day. This pain is produced by
the dilation of a nerve center in the roof of your mouth. The nerve center is overreacting to the
cold by trying to heat your brain. Ice-cream headaches have turned many smiles to frowns.
____5. One time my mom and I made ice-cream. We added sugar and cream into a big glass
bowl. We kept it frozen in the middle of a bigger glass bowl. While it froze, I stirred the mixture
with a hand mixer. It was the first time that had I used one and it splattered ice-cream mixture
all over the kitchen. The rest of the mixture finally froze, so we ate some ice cream, and then put
the remaining portions in the freezer so that it wouldn’t get freezer burned. That was a good day.
