Scripts for lesson 18

In the picture, we see a young couple walking barefoot with their dog along the water's edge, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.
The man wears a lightweight, long-sleeved white shirt and mint green shorts, while the woman sports a navy blue and white checkered crop top with ripped jeans that end just below the knee.
Their white dog walks alongside the woman on a red leash that she's holding in her right hand.
In the background, we can see a tranquil, deep blue sea and the uninterrupted horizon against a light blue, cloudless sky.
No swimmers grace the water, and the pristine beach bears no footprints.

This explanation will be long, so I'll pause here.

In my previous video, I described a young couple and their dog taking a walk by the seaside.
Now, let me continue my thoughts on this delightful scene.

They appear to be walking shortly after sunrise, bathed in the bright sunlight from above the horizon.
The early hour, relaxed attire and the company of their dog suggest that they may live nearby.
They seem to be relishing what looks like a private beach, free from other beachgoers, with a splendid view of the sea and gentle sea breeze.
It's truly enviable.
Personally, I love both the deep blue sea and the turquoise waters of tropical coral reefs equally.
However, considering Japan's earthquake and tsunami risks, living by the beach makes me apprehensive.

The picture shows a man in a white shirt and black tie, sitting at a large wooden table.
With a serious expression, he is taking notes on a notepad attached to a clipboard.
He's got a wristwatch on his left arm.
The table is somewhat messy with a stapler, utility knife, ruler, pen, calculator, and crumpled papers scattered around.
In the front left of the picture, there's a black coffee cup resting on a saucer.
On the right, there's a potted plant in a square clay pot.
The explanation will be long, so I'll pause here.

In my last video, I talked about a man taking notes and the state of his desk.
Now, let me add my observations.

Firstly, the potted plant might be artificial.
The man looks tense, he's repeatedly scribbling on a notepad, crumpling papers, and tossing them aside instead of throwing them away.
He's also pushed his coffee away from him, suggesting he might be putting work ahead of taking a break.
The coffee may be cold by now too.
I'd like to encourage him to ease off and unwind, yet it's often tricky to offer advice in these situations.
People often not be very receptive when stressed.
I would probably be somewhat hesitant to approach him and suggest taking a breather.

In the picture there are four cherry tomatoes resting on a wooden cutting board.
They have green stems, and their red skins glisten with water droplets.
They seem juicy and fresh in appearance, especially with the perfect play of light.
After sprinkling a pinch of salt and taking a bite, you'll find they're perfectly ripe and wonderfully sweet.
The amount seems just right to satisfy as a snack, but it would be healthier to eat them as a salad at a mealtime.
