Exercise 1: Superheroes Need Sleep Too!

1st script

In the photo, a man in a bright green superhero costume is asleep on a white pillow, still fully dressed and gently hugging a fluffy teddy bear.
His costume, made of stretchy material that clings to his body like a wetsuit, includes angular goggles with protruding round lenses that cover his eyes.
A prominent green inverted triangle between his eyebrows matches the vibrant shade of his suit.
Honestly, I don’t think the costume looks cool at all, and I wouldn’t want to wear it myself.
But maybe that’s what makes it stand out.
With his short black hair slicked back with gel and a scruffy beard, he might really be resting after his superhero act.
Seeing him exhausted and seeking comfort from a teddy bear is quite endearing.

2nd script

In my previous video, I talked about a man in a superhero costume and shared my thoughts on it.
Now, I'd like to share some personal experiences and reflections.
I’ve never done cosplay myself or attended the Halloween parties in Shibuya.
However, when I lived in Osaka over five years ago, there was a large park nearby that was a popular spot for cosplay photo shoots every weekend.
I used to stroll through the park and watch people enjoying their cosplay.
I can really understand the desire to transform oneself through it.
While I don’t cosplay, I have a desire to transform myself by becoming fluent in English.

Exercise 2: Traveling

1st script

In the photo, a woman hikes alone in the forest, wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts held up by a wide brown belt.
Her black hair is tied back and she accessorizes with black sunglasses, earrings, and a ring on her right middle finger.
On her left wrist, there's a light blue wristband, though it's unclear if it's a watch.

She carries a black backpack with a rolled-up lime green picnic mat attached, hanging loosely down to her waist, likely because of its weight.
In her right hand, she holds a plastic water bottle, while her left hand grips the bottle's orange cap and a large, partially unfolded map.
She's drinking from the bottle in the photo.

I'll stop here for now, as the explanation is quite long.

2nd script

In my last video, I discussed a woman hiking in the forest.
Now, let's add my observations.

She appears to be a bit lost in an area of the forest where GPS signals don't reach.
After she finishes drinking some water, she'll probably take off her sunglasses, carefully check her current location and destination on the map, and plan her route to ensure she reaches her destination before it gets dark.

As a side note, these days, smartphone GPS signals seem to be everywhere we go.
I remember a time while hiking up a mountainside when I had to use my laptop to handle a customer system issue by tethering.
It's incredibly convenient, but it also has its drawbacks and can be quite troublesome at times.

Exercise 3: Potty Training

Script

The photo shows an adorable little girl practicing using a potty.
She’s wearing a pink dress with a matching headband.
Her feet aren't touching the ground, so the potty might be too big.
Instead of focusing on potty training, she’s fascinated by the toilet paper on her right.
She’s picked up a roll and is about to put it in her mouth.
If she drools on the toilet paper, it’ll be harder to unroll, so whoever is taking the photo needs to stop her.
After she picked up the roll, the roll underneath tipped over but didn't roll away due to the weight of another roll on top of it.
I believe her parents should focus on helping her with potty training instead of taking pictures.
