Scripts for lesson 40
Exercise 1: Cheater
The photo shows three people sitting on a bench in what looks like an outdoor rest area in a shopping district.
The couple on the left are affectionately gazing at each other and seem to be in a relationship.
However, the man is holding hands with a red-haired woman seated next to his girlfriend, who doesn't seem to notice.
Often in these situations, the two women are depicted as close friends.
I don't see why they'd hold hands in broad daylight where they could easily be seen.
Maybe it's for a momentary thrill, but I doubt either relationship will last long at this rate.
If being cheated on would upset you, then cheating is not something you should engage in.

Exercise 2: Soccer Practice
The photo appears to capture a practice session for a local kids' soccer club.
A coach and all the children are on the field, kneeling on the grass in front of the goal.
The coach seems to be taking attendance, writing something on a file.
There are six kids, all wearing blue and white team jerseys, listening intently to what the coach is saying.
Four of them have soccer balls at their feet.
The soccer balls and jerseys are still spotless, and nobody has gotten muddy or sweaty just yet, so it looks like they're just about to start their practice.
The children are still smiling, but once they get out on the pitch, they'll probably be competing for their favorite positions.

Exercise 3: Smoothie
The photo captures a woman in a kitchen about to drink a freshly made smoothie.
She's wearing a red top under a blue-green, off-the-shoulder shirt and listening to music through white wired earphones.
Leaning on the counter with both elbows, she’s just about to take a sip from the glass in her left hand.
A black armband on her arm might be holding a music player or smartphone.
On the counter, there's a blender she used to make the smoothie, a jar of cereal, and some cut fruit on a cutting board.
Though a bit out of focus, the fruit looks like apple slices and kiwi peels.
Starting the day with such a healthy routine can really set the tone for a fulfilling and well-rounded day.
