Scripts for lesson 10
Exercise 1: Dining out
The photo shows a middle-aged couple enjoying lunch at a spacious restaurant.
They are seated side by side at a table next to a window with natural light streaming in.
Both look happy, chatting away and poking at appetizers with their knives and forks.
Two well-poured glasses of red wine sit within reach of their right hands on the table.
In the background you can see ceiling fans, and there is a wall mounted light on a yellow painted pillar behind the man.
The woman looks stylish in a dusty pink top with an embroidered embellishment and large earrings.
The man is also fashionable, but his blue shirt is unbuttoned to expose his chest, which caught my attention, as it seemed a bit strange.

Exercise 2: Elephant Ride
In the photo, we can see a young couple on an elephant ride at Ayutthaya in Thailand.
The sun, as it hovers over the horizon, creates a glorious backlight of the heritage site.
The elephant is adorned with a red cloth edged in yellow, and there's a seat supporting a red and gold parasol as well.
It's walking along a narrow gravel path, that gently curves to the right leading up to the temple.
Upon closer inspection, you can notice an elephant handler in front of the couple, wearing a hat with a brim.
I imagine the ride might be quite bumpy and the passengers would sway a lot.
The motion could make it challenging to capture this stunning scenery in a photo from their seats.

Exercise 3: Fish Dinner
The photo features a large banana leaf serving as a plate, with grilled fish in the center, butter fried shrimp to the right and salad to the left.
The salad consists of a single leaf of lettuce, half a slice of pineapple in a semi-circle shape, and a slice of tomato, all of which are arranged to exhibit their vibrant colors.
The two shrimp are presented with their backs split open into ring shapes.
The grilled herring is deboned, and its flesh looks plump and tasty.
Additionally, lime slices are cut and ready to be squeezed over the seafood .
All the ingredients are expertly prepared for easy consumption, making it a meticulously crafted plate.
