Part 2
Pic 1

In this photo I can see a group of people and there are also lots of trees in the
background so I think it might be a park. They are all wearing summer clothes and
very suitable to protect their health. They seem to be family or friends. Everyone
seemed to be happy. In addition to jogging, they also combine cycling. These
sports activities not only help us to have good health but also can integrate with
people around
Pic 2

In the picture I can see a group of people sitting around the table working
together. It could be a classroom because I can see a big board, a bookshelf, and
a map. On the table there are many books and 2 laptops. Besides, they have
different skin colors and different hairstyle, i think they come from many
different countries. Everyone is working hard so I think the group session will
have good results.
Pic 3

In this picture, they are in the cinema, and the film is seen to be fantastic, everyone
really enjoys it. There are two couples in this picture, one is near my eyes and the
other is behind the first couple. First, we talk about the first couple, I think the man
wore a shirt inside, and outside he wore a gray sweater and the woman is wearing a
pink shirt. The man was placing a bag of popcorn on his lap and the woman was
holding a glass of water in her hand. They are surrounded by rows of red chairs
and you can see light bulbs in the distance.
Pic 4

The picture describes a scene with four people sitting around a table at a café. Each
person in the picture is wearing different clothes with different colors. The man on
the left is wearing a blue T-shirt, the woman on the left is wearing a blue polka-dot
shirt, the woman in the middle is wearing a pink shirt underneath a jean jacket, the
man on the right is wearing a white shirt and black pants, and another man on the
far right is wearing a white T-shirt, a red and blue plaid shirt over it.
Looking at the table and the glasses, it seems like they are all just focused on their
phones and not talking to each other. Even though they are all engrossed in their
phones, each person's facial expressions show different emotions. The man on the
left seems focused and happy with a smile on his face. The woman on the left is
also focused on her phone, looking satisfied. The woman in the middle looks a bit
bored and contemplative, while the man on the right seems relaxed and happy with
a bright smile on his face.
The background of the picture is a wooden wall with a few small lights and a
painting or a small white board. With such lighting, it could be morning with a blue
sky and warm sunshine.
Picture 5

In this photo. I can see six people: grand mother, grand father, parent, two
children. They are sitting around the table. There are many dishes on the table such
as bread, salads and fruit. Grand mother is bringing a tray of grilled chicken with
potatoes to the dining table.
You can rell that they are preparing a house. Everyone seems to be very happy and
boring a lot of fun.

At first sight, i can see the scenery in the park. There are a lot of people here. I
guess it’s a sunny morning around 8 am, i can feel the fresh environment here.
Many people go here to meet friends and chit-chatting or maybe do exercises.
Most clearly, i can see the man is playing violin and chilling with the melodies
who looks like artist. He’s got short black haircut, wearing a basic oufit included
white shirt and maybe a grey short or jeans because the picture has been cut off. So
far away, those classical buildings over there are special reminds me about
architectures of England that makes the picture has more depth and stand out. This
is definitely a great picture

Pic 10

First of all, i can see a group of bestfriends. They are having a small party in a
mountain, kind of a quiet and peaceful place without many people. I guess a small
party in the evening at someone’s villa with some food and glasses of juice are
served. I think it’s like a chilling party after the huge party last night and they are
having fun together. They are 9 people dressing simple clothes and looking at the
man standing on the pool who is making a laughing stock. I can feel how happy
they are because of their smiles and i know they had a great time. The breathtaking
scenery and plus the sunshine far away make the picture more cozy with happiness

sofa and using an Ipad for entertainment or learning something. It looks
like the are really interested in watching the Ipad. On the left side of the
mother, it is an older sister, I can see she is the one who pay attention the
most. On the other side of the mother, there is her baby, maybe he/she is
1 year old and the mother is the one who holding an ipad and it seems
like she really enjoys her time with the children. The house looks very
clean and tidy too.

Pic 12
I can see a man and a woman with a boy that I thought was a family. It
can be seen that this is a young family and they are eating and drinking
together, very happy, perhaps they are celebrating something. I saw that
it was quite dark outside, the lights were still on in the room, maybe they
were having dinner together. I thought the meal was held at their house
because I found the layout quite cozy and in them quite comfortable
when playing together.

play together and chilling out after a long day work

about play volleyball?

friends, but if we dont have enough people to create a team, it may be not fun.

if the weather is bad, it is also not a problem.

it with family at home

place to practice it. Also, it is not suitable for someone who doesn't like to take
risks like me
A: So fitness is an optimal choice to improve health
B: Yes, it is a great option but we will need our own support, being a student is not
a perfect choice. Swimming isn't bad either

it is convenient when we have free time to swim right away. It helps me on the
advanced side a lot

cinema. The film that lasts for 2 hours helps us relax and forget about
real life , What do you think?

exams, then you may play basketball with your friend. I think it would
be much better to do something else.

friends. But you may dance disco is a better idea as you are with your
friends, you are having lots of fun at the same time. Do you agree?

expensive. I suggest going for a swimmingh is better, Because it helps
you can keep you fit.

in a fast food restaurant would be better, because we can chat to customers and have
free food at work
A: Yes, but don’t you think it’s unhealthy food for people. What do you think about dog
walker?
B: Well, it would be perfect. We can get out in the fresh air and play with dogs, no
problem if weather is bad, but I don’t think it’s a good idea because dog might be
unfriendly, it’s difficult for us
A: That’s true. So, would the pizza delivery person be a good idea? We can go out and
about, get tips. Do you agree?
B: I’m not sure. I think it’s difficult to find right house. How about babysitter. We can
have fun with children.
A: Yes, you’re right, but children might be naughty. What about a shop assistant? That
have work in nice environment and learn about different gadgets.
B: This job requires the need to know a lot about products and just salary – no tips so
he shouldn't do this job. He should be well suited to waiter because he gets to meet lots
of people, get tips, free food or drink at work.
A: This would be the perfect job for someone who looking for a part-time job like him
because he still has a few subjects in his school. So, we will choose that job.

bus, we can sit on the bus and enjoy the scenery and visit many beautiful sights in
London. What do you think?

B: I agree with you on that, but I think we will get tired when we have to move a
lot. I think it will be much better if we go shopping together
A: Yes, that's right, shopping is pretty decent. But the price of the items in London
is a little bit high and we don’t have enough budget for that. I think it would be
much better to do something else, like go to a nearby fish and chips shop to
recharge for the next excursion. Do you agree?
B: Not really, I don't think eating is interesting. In my opinion it would be the
best if we go to the museum, we can learn more about the cultures and the
history of England here.
A: Yes, it is ok for me. But I would like to see something more signature in
London. How about visting the Big Ben, it would be the best idea for us. It’s a
symbol of England and it has so many extrodinary views for us to take pictures
there.
