PART 2

In this photo I can see quite a few adults and

children. They wear normal clothes, suitable
for jogging and cycling. They seemed to be
in a very cool looking park with many old
trees on the side of the road. They can cycle
and jog. The two people in the back right
could be a mother and child talking to the
baby in the crib. I think this is a place people
really like because I see a lot of people in
the back.

In this photo, I can see a group of 9 adults,

both male and female. Everyone wears
casual and comfortable clothing. I guess
they are probably students and are here
doing group work or working on some
project. It seems like the girl sitting in the
middle right is explaining about work or just
wondering about a certain issue.
 In this photo, I can see 2 couples. They all
wore dark glasses and smiled brightly. Most
include 1 large popcorn and soft drink.
Maybe they're in a movie theater with lots of
side seats and a pretty dark scene. Both
couples focused on watching the movie and
enjoying it because everyone was laughing
and having fun. I thought maybe they were
watching a 3D movie because everyone was
wearing glasses.

In this photo, I can see a group of friends

consisting of 2 men and 2 women. They
were all wearing normal clothes, looking
very simple and comfortable. And most of
them only focus on their phones. The girl in
the middle is holding her chin with a bored
and dejected look on her face. Because her
friends are all focused on their phones and
not interacting with each other.

were all wearing simple clothes and coats

that looked very warm. They appear to be in
the dining room and the whole family is
sitting around the dining table with lots of
dishes. It looks like the grandmother on the

and the whole family is eagerly looking at
her.

children and a dog. They seemed to be
sitting on a fairly large lawn and there were
many yellow flowers next to them. It seems
that the mother is telling stories or reading
books to her two children in a happy and
excited mood. And the two children were
also very focused on their mother's story.

In this photo, I can see a group of waiters

and guests. Waiters wear uniforms and
guests wear formal, polite attire. They seem
to be at a party and the two waiters in the
middle of the picture are serving food and
wine to guests in a considerate, cheerful and
friendly manner.

In this photo I can see a group of students

and teachers. Almost all students are focused
on their paper assignments. They seemed to
be in a classroom with lots of desks, chairs
and small books. I guess the kid in the
bottom left of the picture was having trouble
doing his homework and the teacher sat
down and showed the student the work.
In this photo, I can see a man playing the
violin and there are many other people
around. They seemed to be in a park, in front
of a building and in front of him was a
music stand, surrounded by trees. Maybe
he's playing the violin in the park, behind
him are people walking on the street, people
sitting on park benches talking to each other.

In this photo, I can see a group of friends

consisting of both men and women. They
appear to be sitting in the yard of a house
with a swimming pool and in the distance
are mountains. In the middle there is a small
table for food, next to it are two very large
trees. I guess they were chatting together or
telling an interesting story because everyone
looked quite happy and excited.

In this photo, I can see a woman and two

children. They appear to be in the living
room, behind which may be a garden. They
were sitting on the sofa, next to them there
were very soft looking pillows. The woman
appears to be the mother of two babies,
holding the younger one on her feet and all
three are focused on the other baby's iPad.
In this photo, I can see 2 adults and 1 child.
They appear to be in a restaurant or dining
room and they sit around a table with many
dishes. I guess they are a family and are
eating pizza and baking together to celebrate
something in a happy mood or just want to
clap.

They seemed to be in the living room, they
sat on the sofa with lots of pillows around

working and eating and it seems like the
child on the right side of the photo is playing
with something that makes his parents happy
and excited.

In this photo, I can see 2 adults and 1 girl.

They appeared to be in the dining room,
behind which was the kitchen. They were
sitting around a round table with many
dishes. I guess they are a family of mother
and daughter and eat together. They seemed
very happy and joyful because the little girl
ran to her father to feed her mother.

little daughters. All four people were sitting

of fruit and glasses of water on the table. I
guess these are 2 grandparents and 2
granddaughters, the 2 grandparents are
watching their 2 grandchildren play chess
with excitement.

sitting. They seemed to be sitting on airplane
seats, surrounded by many empty seats, and
outside the window was the white sky. The
boy sitting in the middle of the picture is
reading a magazine, the woman and man
sitting next to him look at him with
interested eyes. The two older people sitting
in the back were sitting next to each other
chatting happily and the flight attendant
seemed to be serving food or drinks to
passengers.
In this photo, I can see a woman and two
children. They appear to be sitting in a
room, behind what appears to be a sofa, they
are sitting in the middle of the room with
two very large suitcases. I guess this woman
is probably the mother of 2 babies and
maybe they are going on a trip because the
mother is holding a map in her hand and
around them are 2 very large suitcases.
