Transcript

I think it's time to talk about people and activities. Mm hmm. Okay. All right. So we have four people in this picture. Let's talk about them and get some more details right here we go.

There are four people in this picture. A father, a mother, a daughter, and a son. Three members of the family are sitting down and one is standing up. They are an Asian family, perhaps from China or Southeast Asia. We can't see the full face of the father because his body is facing away from us. Alright, let's stop here for a sec.

His body is facing away from us. So the farther we're in the dark blue shirt, we can only see it looks like the right side of his face, because he's looking away. He's facing away from us. So his face is looking towards another direction. Right? Okay.

He is looking at the other members of his family. He could be in his 40s. Right, if you say he could be in his 40s we're talking about his age, right? So maybe he's 4140 to 45 or six or seven somewhere in his 40s. Maybe younger, maybe older. This is just my guess I would say he's in his 40s.

All right, so we're talking about his age. All right. Let's see. The father is wearing In a dark blue polo shirt, and sitting on the side of the table closest to us, right? So where he's sitting right now or he's seated, he's closest to us, right? If we were standing here where the photographer is, we would say the father's closest to us, and a blue polo shirt.

Alright, let's take a look what is a polo shirt? Right? It's similar to a T shirt, but it's different enough to have a different name. Right? So let's look up polo shirt. Okay, so polo shirt usually has a few buttons, maybe two or three.

I'm wearing a polo shirt right now. And the main difference between a polo shirt and a T shirt is that a polo shirt has a color, right? It has the color over here. And it also has buttons so it can unbutton down the front. Okay, so let's take a look. Look at a T shirt.

Right? So there's no buttons and it doesn't have a raised collar, right? It has a collar, but it's not raised up like the polo shirt, though. This is a polo shirt. All right, let's go back. All right, and we can see the collar here and it's short sleeve and looking at the material.

I would I'm pretty sure it's a polo shirt. Okay. All right. Let's see a is and we're talking about the father's. His right hand is resting on on the table near his glass of juice. Tea Mahmoud says a middle aged father, right.

Sure. We could say middle aged fathers because he's, you know, his kids aren't little babies, but they're not really old either. They're like in between. Maybe teenager a little bit younger. Sure. You could say he's a middle aged father.

Okay, so his right hand right here is resting on the table. It just means lightly touching, leaning on the table resting on the table. Okay, let's see, His hair is neatly combed. So I guess he wanted to look good for this meal or for this picture and he combed his hair, and he did it in a neat way which is like organized. So his hair is organized very well but we would just say neatly, neatly combed. Alright, okay, let's do some pronunciation repeat after me.

There are four people in this picture. A father, a mother, a daughter and a son. Three members of the family are sitting down and one is standing up. They are an Asian family perhaps from China or Southeast Asia. We can't see the full face of the father because his body is facing away from us. He is looking at the other members of his family.

He could be in his 40s the father is wearing a dark blue polo shirt and sitting on the side of the table closest to us. His right hand is resting On the table near his glass of juice His hair is neatly combed. Okay, so we talked about the dead Hmm, there are more people. let's describe, okay. The mother is standing on the opposite side of the table and smiling at the father she is probably around the same age as her husband. Right?

She is standing between the two children with the daughter on her left and the sun on her right. Okay, so she Here is the mother. Right? So we were talking about the mother only in this section. She, she right? So she's standing right here, between, right so there's one child on each side.

And on her left, her left would be her daughter and her right? When we say her left or her right, that means from her point of view. So if we were looking through her eyes on her left would be the daughter on her right would be the son. Right? Okay. All right.

Let's see that the the mother is wearing a light green t shirt and dark pants. And I'm going to guess their pants. I suppose it's possible that there is a skirt, but we'll just make a guess. All right. Mama says what is the actual name that she's doing? Whoo.

Be patient. It's coming. Okay, so the mother is wearing a light green. T shirt. It's not a polo shirt. Remember, there are no buttons, and there's no raised collar, right?

So the dad has the polo shirt, but the mom is wearing a T shirt. Okay. All right. So let's see. It looks like the mother just placed a large green plastic bowl of salad on the table. So we could say she is holding the edge of the salad bowl with her right hand, her left hand is leaning on the back of the daughter's chair.

Right. We could say the mother is leaning forward and using the daughter's chair as support, right? So she leans too far forward, then she's going to be off balance. So she puts her arm on the back of the daughter's chair. And the whole time she's smiling. Okay, Leah Huda says hello.

Hello, hello. Alright. Let's see. Here we go. So let's do some pronunciation. So to answer Mahmoud's question, what is the actual name what she's doing?

Here she's holding the edge of the salad bowl with her right hand, right? She's holding it, and her left hand is leaning on the back of the daughter's chair. And the mother as in her whole body is leaning forward and using the daughter's chair as support. If she didn't lean also on the daughter's chair, maybe she would lose balance and fall forward. Okay, let's do pronunciation repeat after me. Here we go.

The mother is standing On the opposite side of the table and smiling at the Father. She is probably around the same age as her husband. She's standing between the two children with the daughter on her left and the sun on her right. The mother is wearing a light green t shirt and dark pants. It looks like the mother just placed a large green plastic bowl of salad on the table. She is holding the edge of the salad bowl With her right hand or left hand is leaning on the back of the daughter's chair.

The mother is leaning forward and using the daughter's chair as support. Okay. All right. Let's see Mahmoud says if she wants to give the ball to someone, what should I say? Well, right now, let's see, just in the picture she placed as in, she's putting, she's putting a large green plastic bowl of salad on the table. If she wants to give it to someone, she could maybe slide it over.

So it's still touching the table, but it's sliding over. Or maybe she will pick it up and hand it to someone right or pass it to someone. So there are different ways. I think right now since everyone has said on their plate, maybe she just finished serving them, giving them the food, putting it on their plate and filling it. So now she's putting it back in the center of the table. So if someone finishes their dinner, they can eat more if they want, right?

Uh huh. The Buddha says hand it or pass it or give it move it. You could say Slide it. We have lots of options. All right. Let's talk about the kids now, huh?

The daughter is sitting to the left of the mother and is wearing a pink short sleeve shirt. All right. Let's see. Leila tomato says she serves. Am I correct? Sure.

You could say the mother is serving the salad. She's serving the food to her family. Oh, that's fine. We're going Assume that she is the one who prepared the meal. Is it for sure no, but it appears to be that she is the one who may be prepared it and is serving it to her family. Okay, so the daughter is sitting to the left of the mother right here and is wearing a pink short sleeve shirt.

Alright, so short sleeve just means it like this. It doesn't go all the way down your arm, right? And it's pink. And we'll actually be more specific we'll say, t shirt, a pink short sleeve t shirt. Alright, Leah's already wanting to describe the boy Hmm, I will get there. Right now I'm just describing the girl because there's still more.

Alright so pink short sleeve t shirt. She and she's going to be the daughter. Now we're talking about the daughter has her arms at her sides, right so her arms are straight down her sides and her hands might be folded on her lap. Under the Table, huh? So we can't see right? But I'm gonna make a guest here because it's a comfortable position.

So let's take a look at a picture. hands folded on her lap. Let's do that. Okay, so if you have your hands folded on your lap, it would be like this, right? It's just a comfortable position if you don't want to put your hands up, or you just want to sit and relax for a moment, right? Same thing.

All right. Okay, and under the table folded on her lap, lap is just your your legs right the flat part of the top section of your legs when you when you sit down. Okay, let's see. She once again is the daughter No, has long black hair that hangs down over her shoulders. It looks like she's has an earring in her left ear? She is probably a young teenager and a few years older than her brother.

The daughter is looking at her father and smiling. Okay. Let's see mama says Why don't you say is wearing instead of has worn? Well, I'm describing this picture as if it is in the present as if I'm looking at the family right now. So if your look is looking is probably younger she has so I'm talking in the present tense now because I'm describing the picture, right so I'm not talking about how it was before. I'm using the present tense, present progressive a lot.

A lot of NGS right is sitting is looking Because I'm describing this picture as if they were sitting right before me and I need to talk about it. Okay, let's do a pronunciation and before Leah Gouda put apples, so I'm going to assume she was doing pronunciation. If everyone else is doing pronunciation let me know put some apples in the comments. Here we go repeat after me. The daughter is sitting to the left of the mother and is wearing a pink short sleeve t shirt. She has her arms at her sides in her hands might be folded on her lap under the table.

She has long black hair that hangs down over her shoulders. It looks like she has an earring In her left ear. She is probably a young teenager and a few years older than her brother. The daughter is looking at her father and smiling. Okay. All right, let's move on.

Let's talk about the brother or the son. The son is sitting on a chair located to the right of the mother. He is directly in front of one of the windows. All right, so right behind the The sun is the window so we could say he is directly in front. So if there was a rock or a baseball that broke through the wall window, it would hit him because he's directly in front of the window. Alright.

Whoo. I see apples in the comments. Great, wonderful pronunciation, right? The sun is wearing a light blue shirt. And I think Leah Huda. Yep.

The boys were in a light blue shirt. That's correct. She had said that before. Wonderful. Okay, we cannot see his hands. Right, because they're probably under the table.

Oh, they might be under the table. I suppose there's a chance that he doesn't have any arms. But I'm going to guess his hands are just under the table and they're waiting to start eating. Leah Huda says maybe this was a celebration for their graduation from school. Sure. It's possible.

All right, he this would be the son has black hair, and some of his hair hangs down over his forehead, right forehead is just the section right here. And my hair is so short that it doesn't hang down, right? But this boy, he has a little bit longer hair so the hair hangs down over his forehead, right? We can say hangs down. Okay. He is probably a few years younger than his sister.

This son is looking directly at the father and smiling. Everyone is smiling. His smile shows the top row of his teeth. Right. So we have the top row and we have the bottom row underneath, right, and he's smiling. And you can see the top row of his teeth.

Uh huh. Mahmoud says he is a cripple than disabled boy, maybe it's possible. We only Have one snapshot one moment frozen in time. Leah Huda says or maybe a surprise for their father and that's why they're hiding their hands down holding a gift right under the table. It's possible. Sure.

And perhaps the father said something amusing, like funny. And the family is laughing. Right smiling and laughing. See, Lila maida? Says teacher couldn't I say that the window is behind the boy. Sure, sure, we can say that.

We can say the window is behind the boy. And you can do the opposite to and say that the boy is in front of the window. And I would say directly in front of the window because he's right there right in front of it. Okay, let's do pronunciation repeat after me. The son is sitting on a chair, locate locate Excuse me. We'll do that when again.

The son is sitting on a chair. Look located to the right of the mother is directly in front of one of the windows. The son is wearing a light blue shirt. We cannot see his hands. They might be under the table. He has black hair and some of his hair hangs down over his forehead.

He is probably a few years younger than his sister. The son is looking directly at the father and smiling His smile shows the top row of his teeth. Perhaps the father said something amusing and the family is laughing. Okay, so in this section we talked about the people and activities. All right, what's happening in this picture?
