Sample Answers for photos 2-4

Garlic

It looks like small bulbs with papery skins. When you peel it, it feels firm and slightly moist. It smells pungent and sharp, especially when crushed or minced. When tasted raw, it imparts a strong, spicy flavor that lingers.

Blue cheese

It looks creamy with blue veins running through it. It has a strong aroma, reminiscent of earthiness and mold. The texture feels crumbly yet creamy, depending on its age. When tasted, it has a sharp, tangy flavor that intensifies with age, leaving a rich aftertaste.

A Siamese cat

It looks sleek and slender, with distinctive color points on its ears, face, paws, and tail. When approached, it may emit a faint, musky odor. Its fur feels soft and silky to the touch.
