what are the sensory laguages of this paragraph
The sun had just begun to set, casting a warm golden glow over the small town. I walked down the cobblestone street, the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the bakery on the corner. I popped a still-warm roll into my mouth, the buttery crust melting against my tongue. As I approached the park, children’s laughter mixed with the rustling leaves of the ancient oak trees. I could feel the cool breeze on my skin, a welcome relief from the heat of the day. Opening the creaky gate to the park, I saw my friend Jack jogging toward me, his face flushed from running.
"Hey, Em!" Jack called, slowing as he neared me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you."
"It's okay," I said, brushing crumbs from my fingers. "The bakery beat you to it — this roll is still warm."
"You always manage to find the best things," he said, grinning. "Mind if I sit?"
"Go ahead," I said, pointing to the bench beneath the oak. "You look like you ran a mile."
"Feels like it," he said, collapsing onto the bench and catching his breath. "Was worth it to see you, though."

I assume by “sensory languages” you mean which senses (sensory modalities) are evoked. The paragraph uses all five main senses plus some body/kinesthetic cues. Examples:
- Sight (visual)
- “The sun had just begun to set, casting a warm golden glow…”
- “small town,” “cobblestone street,” “bench beneath the oak,” “his face flushed”
- Smell (olfactory)
- “the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the bakery on the corner”
- Taste (gustatory)
- “I popped a still-warm roll into my mouth, the buttery crust melting against my tongue”
- Sound (auditory)
- “children’s laughter”
- “the rustling leaves”
- “Opening the creaky gate” (also a sound image)
- Jack calling, “Hey, Em!”
- Touch / Temperature (tactile)
- “I could feel the cool breeze on my skin”
- “buttery crust melting against my tongue” (oral texture)
- “brushing crumbs from my fingers”
- Kinesthetic / internal body cues (movement, bodily states)
- “Jack jogging toward me,” “collapsing onto the bench and catching his breath,” “his face flushed”
Together these sensory details create a vivid, immersive scene.
