Scripts for lesson 11
Exercise 1: A Briefcase
The photo shows a messy desk with items from a black briefcase haphazardly scattered across it.
There's a tablet, a smartphone, headphones, a blue calculator, horn-rimmed glasses that catch your eye right away.
Among the stationery items, you'll find a pen with its blue cap off, a push-top pen, a capped pink highlighter, yellow sticky notes, a personal organizer with a bookmark string, a spiral-bound notepad, binder clips, paperclips, and a red stapler.
There are also miscellaneous items like a pair of keys, an orange paper cup with a white lid, a few crumpled pieces of paper, and a black bowtie.
The pair of glasses and gadgets lying unprotected imply disarray, possibly indicating a frantic search for something important, like a wallet.
