Okay, so now that we talked about this picture briefly, right, it's a nice quick summary. Let's get into detail and see what's really happening in this picture. Because there are so many different things we can describe and talk about. So we're going to start with time and place, basically the setting. Where is it? What time is it?

And then we'll get into another part, which is the people and activities in a moment. All right, so here we go. The location of this picture is in the kitchen, or dining room. Oh, have a single family home with a Western western style of architecture. Alright, so this is our first sentence. And when we're talking about a kitchen or a dining room, depending on the type of house, the dining room could be part of the kitchen.

Or maybe the kitchen and the dining room are two separate rooms. Let's take a look. We can find four pictures. Though if we just put in kitchen. You know, we can see where you cook, where you do things where you prepare food, stuff like that. If we put dining room then well, you know we have a table and chairs where you can actually sit and do the eating.

However, if we combine them we put kitchen, dining room, then we have, we should have both right? They might have separate sections, like there's kind of a counter in the middle over here is the main kitchen part. And over here is where you can sit and actually eat, but it's very it's quite common to have in the big room all together. They have the dining area and the kitchen area. And if it's one big room, you could just say this is the dining room. area where you eat.

In back there is the kitchen area where you do the cooking and you prepare the food. Okay. All right, so let's go back. All right. So dining room have a single family home with a western style of architecture. And if we're talking about a style of architecture, architecture is just how things are designed, right?

So if we put it in, the image search is probably going to come up with different buildings, and stuff like that. Okay. So I am not an expert on architecture, if it's modern, if it's postmodern, if it's contemporary, if it's old, I don't know. But architecture is basically you know, how the style is of the building. Okay? So we have lots of different styles of architecture here.

And the house that we're describing today or the dining room or the kitchen area, would have a western style of architecture. Okay, so let's go into more detail about that. There are two big windows In the wall behind the table right through the window, we can see trees, leaves, and bushes. All right. Let's see, Mahmud says, Can we say they are sitting around dining table? Yes, you can say the family is sitting around the dining table.

Mm hmm. And decoration or embellishment. Hmm. Well decoration is something that you add to something else to make it appear more beautiful or a certain specific style or something like that. And we can't see too much of this room to see how it's decorated. I mean, we can see the paint the two tones like the lighter brown and the white around the windows, but we can't really see a lot of decoration so much.

It looks kind of simple, right? So let's see. So there are two big windows in the wall behind the table. Right so here would be the front and B hind it are the two windows in the wall. And through the window we can see trees, leaves and bushes. Right.

And let's take a look. Let's make sure everyone understands what bushes are. Right? They're basically just, you know, a type of tree. That's like shorter. And let's, let's take a look.

Bush's. Alright, so these are different types of bushings. Right? It might be around the outside of the house or in the backyard or something like that. But they're just kind of short trees somewhere between plants and trees, I guess bushes, right. Sometimes there are hedges, maybe I've heard of hedges.

And hedges are just like a like a nice roll. And I think hedges are kind of cool because they can make mazes. See a maze of hedges. Maybe you've seen something like this, or been inside one. It's kind of cool, right? So you can walk around inside and it's basically a maze from hedges and hedges are just a type of Bush, right?

Okay. All right. So let's go back. We're going to keep going. Let's see, because of all the vegetation, the family's house is probably located in the suburbs. Hmm.

Couple words here we have vegetation, and we have suburbs. So first let's take a look at vegetation. vegetation is basically just green stuff that grows right. Let's take a look. vegetation. I mean, you have trees, you have plants, you have flowers, you have leaves, you have bushes.

Right, let's see if we wanted to look in the dictionary vegetation, what would be an actual definition? All right, plants considered collectively, especially those found in a particular area or habitat. Nice Okay. Ooh, this is interesting in medicine, vegetation can be an abnormal growth on or in the body. Well, we're not talking. We're not talking about medicine today.

Hmm. But interesting. So, vegetation in our context today is going to be trees, plants, leaves, green things, right things that you can see outside the window. All right. All right. So let's take a look at suburbs.

What are suburbs? Well, suburbs, suburbs are a section of a city, right? If you live in the suburbs, it's not in like the downtown. It's more on the surrounding areas around the main city. Uh huh. I see comments about tumors malignant tumors.

Yes, the vegetation in the medical sense, however, we're just Talking about in the green trees and bushes type today. Alright, so this would be in the suburbs. And if we notice there is a lot of vegetation, there's grass, there's lawns, there's trees are probably bushes, right? So we could call this and in the, in the fall or in the winter, you know, turns brown and stuff. But in the summer, it's green. So this would be an example of in the suburbs, living in the suburbs, because you don't see high buildings or really skyscrapers or anything like that.

Right. Okay, so this family's house is likely in the suburbs. It's probably a very relaxing, nice and safe place to live. Let's see. Mahmoud says what is the difference between provinces and outskirts and suburbs? Well, provinces, depending on the country are kind of like states.

In in the US, we have states we have the whole country, and then they're divided up into 15 state. And so there's sections right? There's sections of the country and they have their own government and they make their own laws but they're under the one country and different countries have provinces. I think Canada has provinces if I'm not mistaken, should probably look that up. But provinces are kind of like states in different countries. It's just a section of the country.

Let's see. outskirts outskirts are like the outer section of the town of a town or a place. Let's see if we can look up outskirts we'll put outskirts of town. Right. So it's the outer side, outer part of the town, where if you're driving from one town to another, you will go through the outskirts. It's like the edge, the outer part.

Right. And then you get into town and then you're in town. All right, and suburbs. Well, suburbs could be part of the outskirts of town. A suburb could be a town all by itself. So for example, let's see suburbs of Chicago.

We used to live in Chicago. We didn't live right downtown. But we look at a map. Chicago is like the big city, right? We lived in a town called Schaumburg, right. So a suburb is usually a town that is not part of the main city, but close, and it's near it.

So a lot of people that work in the downtown area with all the high buildings and stuff, they will commute, they will drive or travel to their homes in the suburbs. Right? Because they probably don't want to live downtown for a few reasons. One, there, there's a lot more crime, they're more expensive, and they probably want to have more of a quiet lifestyle in the suburbs. Mm hmm. All right.

So when we lived in the Chicago area, we lived in the suburbs. Alright, let's keep going. Here we go. Alright, they could also be in a rural area, right a rural area is just the opposite of urban area. So an urban area is, is like town and city. We'll give you a visual on that.

So it's easy to remember was a rural area could be small town, it could be farms, it could be big open areas without any buildings that's rural. Opposite would be urban and urban area. Lots of buildings, skyscrapers, people, you know, all this stuff busy busy to urban is the opposite of rural. And in this picture, I'm going to guess that they're in a rural area, right. Okay, so let's see, the walls of the dining room are light brown, and the window frames are white. Okay, so the window frames are the part of the windows That are like the edge, right?

The frames the part that holds the parts that hold the glass in. If you don't have frames, there's no way to hold the glass up. Right. So the walls are kind of a light brown, I guess beige, maybe. And the frames for the windows, the window frames are white. All right.

Okay. There is a lot of natural light coming through the windows. Uh huh. Natural light just means non electric, right? It's from the sun. And in general, most people I think, prefer natural light to a lamp or something.

For one reason they don't have to pay as much for their electricity bill. But natural light. It feels very natural. It feels very good. It's nice. Mm hmm.

All right, let's see Mahmoud says khateeb says like a village. Sure, a village could would be in a rural part. Have a count of the country or an area. Right? A village is basically a small town, and it could be in a rural area. Let's see mom, which is like a country's countryside.

Sure. a rural area would be a great definition for all we live in the countryside. It's a rural area. Okay, let's see, the family probably doesn't have to turn on the chandelier. What is a chandelier? Well, it's a type of light.

And it's very common in dining rooms. Let's take a look at a chandelier. Okay, so I mean, you can have chandeliers in castles which are huge or in mansions. Or you can just have something small it's in, you know, a dining room at a person's home. Right? And it can, it can be really expensive or they can be not so expensive.

Okay, all right time for pronunciation. And if you're doing pronunciation, put some ads Apples in the comments. Here we go. Repeat after me. The location of this picture is in the kitchen or dining room of a single family home with the western style of architecture. There are two big windows in the wall behind the table.

Through the window we can see trees, leaves and bushes. Because of all the vegetation, the family's houses probably located in the suburbs. They could also be in a rural area. The walls of the dining room are light brown in the window frames are white. There is a lot of natural light coming through the windows. The family probably doesn't have to turn on the chandelier.

And when we say chandelier, the CH sounds like an SH sound chandelier. Mm hmm. All right, so let's move forward. More to describing this room because of the amount of light and type of food. It's probably late morning or early afternoon. There is there is a large, round table covered in a light blue tablecloth.

All right, so on the table, there is a table cloth. It's a piece of cloth, a big piece of cloth that covers a table. And this one is light blue. Right? And they put it over the table to, you know, it looks nice and also protects the top of the table. Okay, four chairs are placed around the table.

Right and the people are sitting in the chairs. So on the table, we can see a healthy lunch. Mm hmm. Very healthy. I see mom who says is it possible for you, Michael to use high level adjectives to describe a scene delicately and precisely? Well, today what I'm going for is to describe the situation in detail.

So we'll see what we can do. Alright, so on the table we can see a healthy lunch. There is a large green salad bowl in the middle with wooden salad servers. Alright, so let's take a look what are salad servers? If we look at the picture in the middle, there's the green bowl, and there are two wooden handles sticking out. Right.

So let's take a look what are salad servers? Right, here we go salad servers, and the ones we have are wooden. So we will put in wooden yards, wooden salad servers. So they're like big spoons. Maybe a big fork and a spoon. And it just makes it easier to you know, pick up the salad because the salad is not very heavy.

And yeah, so these are salad servers. All right. All right. And the main purpose of today's lesson is so that you can grow your ability to describe a common situation, right? So how common is it for people to have dinner, right, but to be able to explain all of the things that are happening at the same time takes a higher level of English. So that's what we're working on today.

Alright, so here we go. The salad contains many delicious and nutritious vegetables. Oops, I think I spelled that wrong with the T and they're not like in Spanish. All right. vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions and cucumbers, maybe more. Let's see, nutritious means it's good for your body, right?

It's given it lots of things, minerals, vitamins, things that your body needs. Mm hmm. We can't tell whether or not they put dressing on top of the salad. Okay, let's take a look what is dressing Alright, and they la mina says hello, hello hello. Okay all right let's take a look what is dressing and specifically we're talking about salad dressing. Okay so salad dressing is the stuff that you put on top of lettuce and all the vegetables to make it taste better.

However, a lot of salad dressing is not so healthy. It has a lot of creams. It has a lot of oils and has sugars and it has all this stuff tastes great but it's it lowers the nutritional value of the salad. Okay, so we can't really tell we can't Get close enough to see if they have salad dressing or not. Right. Okay, so let's move forward.

All right let's do some pronunciation repeat after me. Here we go. Ah lomita says mayonnaise is possible right it's possible there could be different ones right repeat after me because of the amount of light and type of food is probably late morning or early afternoon. All right khateeb says sauce and here I wouldn't call it sauce. I think sauce is more of core. On top of a steak on top of tomato sauce on top of a hamburger.

When it goes on top of lettuce and vegetables is called dressing like salad dressing. Right repeat after me. There is a large round table covered in a light blue tablecloth. Board Chair are placed around the table. On the table we can see a healthy lunch. There is a large green salad bowl in the middle with wooden salad servers.

Salad contains many delicious and nutritious vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions and cucumbers. We can't tell whether or not they put dressing on top of the salad. And we can't tell because we're not close enough, right maybe they had like an Italian dressing, which is more of like an oil and you can see through it so it's more liquidy and you they might have already put it on top We don't know. All right, who more time and place more details here we go. Each place said in as a placement, napkin eating utensils. A glass of juice and a plate.

Full a plate full of tasty salad. Hmm. The drinking. Well let's see before we move on, let's see a placemat. All right, we can kind of see it. It's the we'll show you a picture.

And it's easier to know what a placemat is. You put it underneath the plate and underneath the placemat. There we go. There you go. So this rectangle thing is called the placement and some people like it for decoration. Other people, they like it just to protect the table if they spill or something like that.

So here's a placemat. Here's another placemat. All right over here. I guess it's possible for them to be round, but most of them that I've seen a rectangle, and then you put the dishes on top. All right. Okay.

All right. Let's see and eating utensils, right? This would be like forks, knives, spoons. All right, let's see in the common for example, we can use splendid meal their main course because the food is food is a general word. If you can put down strong and specific words in a bracket, that would be greatly appreciated. Well, I already have my lesson plan for today.

So I'm going to proceed with my plan. But you're more than welcome to look up the words in dictionary and find extra synonyms because there are a lot, right. Okay, here we go. Let's take a look at eating utensils. All right. Oh, and Layla Mayer said could you wait a minute for us to repeat what you speak?

Sure. I'll give a little bit more time after I read the sentence so you can repeat. All right, thanks for letting me know. Alright, so here are eating utensils, right? So we have the knives. We have the spoons, we have the forks.

Right, so it's what you used to eat. I suppose chopsticks could be eating utensils. Right? Right. So there are chopsticks. I can use chopsticks.

My wife is Chinese and I've been using chopsticks for well over almost 20 years. Okay. All right. So let's go back to the picture. And next sentence. The drinking glass glasses could be filled with cranberry Or raspberry juice because the liquid is dark in color.

Hmm. We have two types of berries, right cranberries and raspberries. First let's take a look at cranberries. We'll look at the fruit and then we'll also look at what the juice looks like. So cranberry, this is a cranberry, right? All right, so let's take a look at cranberry juice.

Cranberry juice is dark in color right? Similar to what we see in the picture. Right so they have dark chocolate color juice in front of them. And the other option maybe is raspberry. So let's take a look at the berry what is raspberry and you'll see a p in the word raspberry but we don't say rasp very it's just raspberry. So I don't know Where the peak came from.

But these are raspberries who, when I used to grow up, they would grow wild in the bushes in the field behind our house. So they're tasty. You just walk outside you find them, you eat them. And the bears like them too. So sometimes bears would be there and you kind of leave them alone. Right?

Ah lomita says reminds you of strawberries, right? They have this similar shape of strawberries, but these are raspberries. They're delicious. And let's take a look. raspberry juice. All right, so we have raspberry juice, the dark colored.

Oh, and it's also common to combine cranberries with raspberries and they call it CRAN. raspberry juice. It's delicious. And very healthy. Huh? Mom Who says I have experience with raspberry pi board?

Computer programmer? Yes. How does it taste? Probably not as good as raspberry juice. Hmm. Okay.

All right, let's go back. So the juice is dark color and I'm just gonna guess it's raspberry or cranberry, maybe even strawberry juice as possible. All right, let's take a look. Each glass has a large amount of ice chunks floating near the top. So they want to keep their, their juice cold, I guess and they put a whole bunch of ice in there. I probably wouldn't put that much ice because ice is going to melt and make the juice very watery, but it's their choice is their house.

All right, here we go. Let's do pronunciation. And as Laila asked, I will pause a little bit longer. And you guys repeat after me. Here we go. Each place setting has a placemat napkin, eating utensils, a glass of juice and a plate full of tasty salad.

Okay, the drinking glasses could be filled with cranberry or raspberry juice because the liquid is dark in color. Okay, here we go. Each glass has a large amount of ice chunks floating near the top. Right. And if you were unable to, if you didn't have enough time to repeat after me, you can always go back and watch the recorded version. That's wonderful.

Wonderful thing about the internet, right? We can go back and rewind. Okay, all right. All right. So we took a look at this picture. And we described the time and the place, right and things that are happening in it.

We didn't talk much about the people, but we will. Right so right now we just talked about the time and the place and what's happening. Okay, so now let's move forward.
