   27 Smell

Wity my large nose, I have fairly keen sense of smell. It's a blessing 1, and also a curse,

Since my nose tends to be more sensitive than the average person's. There are advantages and disadvantages.

For example, I am usually the first one to know when something delicious is around, I'm also the first person to know when something smelly is around, like a baby with unchanged diaper.

In the summmer, it seems like there is more to smell in general. I love the smell of cut grass, it reminds me of one of my first part-time jobs. It makes me think of my childhood. I really like the smell of fresh bread and pastries 2. I also enjoy the scent 3 of flowers and some perfumes.

But somethimes I detect some smells that aren't so good.

I don't like to smell perfumes what is really put on heavily. Have you worked around those kinds of people? I don't know why they spray so much perfume, but they do.

and its way too strong. It's hard to concentrate. I also hate the smell of cigarette. but I like the smell of barbecue.

Do you have any preferences?

Talk about it:

1)do you have a good sense of smell?

2)what smells do you like?

3)what smells do you dislike?

4)do certain smells ever remind you of something from the past?

5)are these positive or negative memories?

6)some animals have very keen sense of smell, how do you think this helps them?

7)can you think of an occupation with good sense of smell is very important?

8)do you wear perfume or colone? how do you know when you wear too much?

9) it 's belived the sense of smell is closely connected to taste, do you agree with this statement?

10)have you ever try to eat with your nose pluged?
