Writing Hands-on

Exercise

The woman in the picture could be a math teacher or a professor giving a lecture from the podium. With short wavy hair, she has pleasant eyes and a relaxed smile on her face. Her make-up is light, and she is wearing a simple tailored suit. She is also wearing earring. This shows that she cares about her appearance. Maybe it is because she wants to make a good, professional impression in the classroom. She is holding a book in her left hand. She is pointing to a place in the book. It looks like she is telling the students to pay special attention to something important in the book. She seems like she might be a patient and considerate teacher. She looks straight out into the camera, so maybe she will pay attention to her students well. It is easy to imagine her interesting with students instead of just lecturing from behind the podium flipping through her presentations. She doesn’t even seem to have a tired look, like lots of teachers. She must be a pleasant teacher who has lots of different ways to teach a lesson.
