Scripts for lesson 20
Exercise 1: Problems…
In the photo, there's a young man in a bathroom wearing a white short-sleeved vest.
He seems rather crestfallen.
The bathroom walls are covered with turquoise mosaic tiles, and there's an arched wooden door behind him.
The room gives off a somber vibe, perhaps mirroring his weary and jaded mood.
He's leaning forward, with his cheek scrunched up into his right palm, perhaps he has just been dumped and is struggling with a sudden breakup.
Despite sporting stubble and a stylish buzz cut, his emotions seem to overshadow his appearance.
He may be hoping that when he steps out of the bathroom, he can pull himself together and show a more confident and cheerful side of himself.

Exercise 2: Cat’s Eyes
The photo captures a close-up of an American Shorthair cat with a surprised expression.
Its ears are laid back, and it has dilated, round, piercing pupils set in amber irises.
Unkempt white whiskers point in all directions, creating an unforgettable image.
The cat's mouth is agape, revealing a strangely folded, wafer-thin tongue, as if caught in a moment of shocked or dismayed yowling.
The close wall right behind the cat, with possibly no vertical escape route, gives the feeling of being trapped.
Perhaps, the cat was in hot pursuit of a mouse, only to have it slip away.
To make matters worse, it may have then unexpectedly run into a large, imposing dog, resulting in a moment of utter helplessness.

Exercise 3: A Calm Evening
In the picture someone may be enjoying the sun's orange glow and stunning mountains.
Steam rises and wafts from the mug on the picnic table, filled with freshly brewed coffee.
I'm unsure if the sun's rising or setting, but the peaks and valleys are glowing in the sun's radiance.
The haze hanging in the distance adds to a magical vibe, giving me the urge to make a wish or something.
Incidentally, those bare patches on the nearby mountain might be exposed rock formations.
If I were there, savoring the marvelous mountain view, I would sip on my hot coffee.
And just a heads up, I get chilly easily, so once I polished off that coffee, I would probably head back indoors or to the car before I started freezing.
