Scripts for lesson 24
Exercise 1: Sharing an Ice Cream
The photo captures a heartwarming scene between a young girl and her mother, sharing a delicious strawberry ice cream with a waffle cone.
They're both playfully sticking out their tongues as they lick the melting treat, exchanging warm smiles.
Upon closer inspection, gentle wrinkles around the mother's eyes reveal her affectionate gaze.
The girl has bright blonde hair, styled in shoulder-length curls with bangs delicately covering her forehead.
She's dressed in a charming blue and white striped sundress, holding the ice cream cone firmly in her right hand.
Meanwhile, the mother sports wavy reddish-blonde hair cascading down her shoulders and gracefully revealing her forehead.
She's wearing a collared shirt with slim vertical light blue and white stripes, with a few buttons left open for comfort.

Let's delve into the scene and its surroundings.
The sight of melting ice cream trickling down the waffle cone implies a sweltering afternoon.
Behind the mother and daughter stands a two-story cream-colored building, possibly a hotel or a shopping mall.
On the ground level, a window adorned with white curtains on the girl's side hints at a potential shop, while a spacious door on the mother's side appears to be the entrance to the building.
Looking upward, the second floor is adorned with green ivy leaves, adding natural beauty.
An ivy canopy extends from the white signboard with orange letters in the upper right corner, offering a cool respite from the sun.
Below, a bench with a green backrest invites passersby to take a break and enjoy the surroundings.

Exercise 2: Decisions…
In the photo, there's a woman with long dark brown hair wearing a vibrant red dress, standing in the toiletry aisle of the pharmacy, looking like she's searching for something.
She's dressed in a bright red fit and flare dress with half sleeves and a scoop neck.
The ceiling of the toiletry aisle has long straight fluorescent lights hanging, illuminating the shelves brightly.
Though the toiletry shelves are a bit blurry, it looks like they've got a large variety of sanitary products, toilet paper, and detergents.
Leaning on her shopping cart with both elbows, she holds a shopping list in her left hand, while her right hand lightly rests on her chin, her eyes fixed on the shelves to her right.

Now, moving on to sharing my assumptions.
She seems to be contemplating whether to buy something, checking her list, but it seems that she's still on the fence.
Perhaps her desired brand is unavailable, or maybe the item she desires lacks a discounted price tag.
What stands out is that she doesn't appear to have a bag, and her outfit doesn't have any visible pockets, suggesting she might not have her purse with her.
Payment could be intended through a smartphone or credit card if she has them.
Since there's no reusable bag in the shopping cart either, she might be planning to buy disposable plastic bags at the checkout.
Alternatively, the absence of rings suggests she's unmarried, perhaps with a boyfriend elsewhere in the pharmacy.

Exercise 3: Eating a Watermelon
The vibrant photo captures a little girl sitting on a lawn, devouring a slice of watermelon.
She is wearing a pinkish-red and white checkered sundress, sitting barefoot with her legs stretched out.
Her light blonde hair cascades in shoulder-length curls, with bangs pinned back by a red hair clip, exposing her forehead.
The color of her dress and hair clip harmonizes with the lively red of the watermelon.
With both hands, she relishes the oversized slice, her gaze wandering into the distance.
The explanation will be long, so I'll break here.

Let's take a closer look at the little girl enjoying the watermelon.
Curiously, despite her enthusiastic indulgence, there's no trace of juice or seeds on her face or hands.
Maybe she was hastily handed the watermelon for the photo shoot.
However, the soles of her feet give away her messy endeavor because they are stained by the watermelon's juices.
Perhaps she unwittingly stepped on some juicy bits before settling down.
Behind her are three whole and one partially cut watermelon.
Meanwhile, white Dutch clovers casually bloom near her feet and gentle sunlight beams down, casting a warm glow on the lush green grass while the watermelons evoke the essence of early summer.
