Exercise 1: Baking Cookies

1st script

The photo captures a lovely moment at a dining table with a little boy and his mother.
The mother is dressed in a green top with a white apron.
She is standing at the table rolling the cookie dough and is just about to cut out some star shapes.
It's apparent she's clearly prepared because she dusted flour onto the table to prevent the dough from sticking and she has rolled the yellow dough evenly.
Nearby are her baking tools, including a blue-rimmed plate that likely held the sifted flour in it, a little sifter, and the rolling pin she used.
Thoughtfully, she's placed cut-out cookies and extra cutters out of her curious little helper's reach.

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

2nd script

In the previous video, I described how the mother was preparing to cut out cookies at the dining table.
Now, let's turn our attention to the boy.
He's absolutely adorable and is standing on a chair with a cookie cutter in his hand.
But he is completely captivated by the flour that his mother has dusted on the table.
You can see him tracing in it with his finger, clearly fascinated.
I think the mother intends to let him join in and cut out some cookies soon.
It’s heartwarming to see them enjoying their time baking together.

Exercise 2: Paperwork

1st script

The photo captures a woman in the kitchen, clearly stressed over paperwork.
She’s probably redoing expense reports or balancing the household budget.
She’s comparing receipts with a printed expense report on the table, but the numbers aren't adding up.
With her right hand on her forehead, she’s pushing her hair back, frowning in frustration.
She's taken off her glasses and placed them on the table, trying to figure out why the numbers aren't matching up, but she seems completely stumped.
She’s probably checking online bank statements and credit card transactions on her laptop and smartphone, but even that isn't helping her remember.

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

2nd script

In my previous video, I discussed a woman who was having difficulty with some accounting work.
Now, let's add my observations.

Given her apparent state of frustration and considering she's already in the comfort of her kitchen, it might be beneficial for her to consider taking a short break.
She could refresh herself with a glass of water, have a snack, or do something unrelated to clear her mind.
Even a nap might be beneficial.

Generally, in a world where digital transactions are prevalent, it's crucial to promptly record cash transactions.
If not noted down immediately or by the end of the day, they can be forgotten, leading to discrepancies in financial records.
This is an aspect of personal finance that merits careful attention.

Exercise 3: Take a Bite!

Script

In this charming photo, a young girl with braided pigtails is about to take a bite of pizza, her face full of anticipation.
The pizza looks quite appetizing.
It's generously covered with cheese and includes toppings like mushrooms and tomatoes.
She's wearing a long-sleeved shirt with red and white stripes, layered under a short-sleeved navy blue top.
The combination is pleasantly reminiscent of the American flag.
One can imagine that when she bites into the pizza, the cheese might stretch a bit, which could make eating it a tad challenging.
However, that's often part of the enjoyment of a good slice of pizza.
The photo beautifully captures a moment of simple pleasure.
