Scripts for lesson 31

The photo shows an open office layout.
On the left side in the front and the right side at the back, you've got rows of desks where employees are sitting at their assigned spots.
The large, front-facing desks are divided by low partitions.
Every desk has a monitor, and you can see several employees working on laptops while others are using desktop computers.
Some people's heads are down as they work, while others are on office phones or huddled together, collaborating on something as they look at a monitor.
You can't see the people sitting behind the partitions in the right row.

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

Looking towards the back rows where employees are seated, you can see some cabinets or storage units, and beyond those, there are open meeting spaces.
In the far right corner is a glass-enclosed private office, probably for an executive.

As a side note, after the COVID pandemic, my company stopped assigning individual desks.
We transitioned to a touchdown space, where you can sit at any available desk.
However, in the past four years since COVID, I've only commuted to the office a handful of times.
I prefer my home office because I can lie down for a guilt-free half-hour nap after lunch, clear my head, and work productively in the afternoon.

The photo captures a couple dressed in matching grey T-shirts and shorts, sitting on the sandy beach, ready to enjoy their salad.
The man is holding a clear plastic salad container in his right hand and a fork in his left, pointing it at the salad while talking to his girlfriend.
She’s holding her own salad container, and she's literally in the middle of bringing a forkful up to her mouth, whilst smiling in response to whatever he’s saying.

Behind them, the beach slopes up towards some greenery visible at the top.
In the distance, there's a solitary palm tree behind the man.
To the right, you can see the gray ocean extending from the beach, meeting the cloudy sky at a hazy horizon.

Captured here is a serene lake surrounded by majestic mountains, along with a terrace that offers a breathtaking vantage point.
The magnificent snow capped blue mountains and crystal-clear lake set against a blue sky with drifting white clouds look like a painting.
The water extends under the terrace, making it appear as if the terrace is floating on the lake.
The terrace is enclosed by transparent acrylic railings, providing an unobstructed view of the water below.

Now, let's turn our attention to the details of the terrace itself.
On the floor, there are wooden tiles that complement the modern L-shaped wicker-framed sofa and match a low table that furnishes the terrace.
A green living wall provides a natural backdrop behind the sofa.
Whether this well-manicured terrace is on a cruise boat or overlooking a lakeside resort is unclear.
However, the seamless integration of natural materials cultivates an atmosphere of tranquility and invites comfort.
Incidentally, one can't help but wonder how the fluffy cushions adorning the sofa's corners, and the sofa itself, are protected from the elements during inclement weather.
Regardless, it's definitely a place worth visiting to experience the coolness of early summer.
