Reading practice




This is a (colored/black and white) picture of an Asian family. I think the scene might be happening (indoors/outdoors) in (an/a) Chinese City Street because I can see (a/some) Chinese symbols on the left hand corner. In addition, they have physical Chinese features. The family is in the foreground and there is a (small/big) building in the background. I believe it is happening (on/in) a cold (winter/summer) morning day because (they/them) are wearing (light/heavy) clothing. (They/There) are five characters on the photograph; two adults, one teenager and two children. All of (them/they) are wearing a handkerchief over (them/their) nose and mouth because of the (air/water) pollution. One of the adults is a middle aged (men/man). He is tall and slim. He has short, straight hair. He is wearing a dark jacket, a dark sweater, a black shirt and dark pants. (He/His) shoes are black, too. The other adult behind the man is a woman. I think she is in her late 30’s. She is tall and thin. She (have/has) black, short, straight hair. She is wearing a light coat, dark pants and dark shoes. The teenager, who looks like a boy, is all the way to the back. He is average height and average weight. He has dark, straight hair. We can only (to see/see) his upper body. He is wearing a black sweater. There is a (little/small) girl in the foreground next to the man. I believe she (has/is) about six years old. She has black, long and straight hair with two pony tails to the side. She is average height and average weight. She is wearing a striped vest, a light, long sleeved sweater and white pants. Her shoes appear to be brown. There is a young boy behind the little child. He seems to be 12 years old. He is average. He has very short, black, straight hair. He is wearing a long sleeved pullover, dark pants and tennis shoes. All of them look worried. They are (walk/walking) on a street. I guess they left their house in a hurry because they are carrying things with (them/they). For instance, the man is carrying a white plastic bag and he is holding the little girl’s hand at the same time. The woman appears to be carrying some blankets. The children are carrying backpacks. I think they are going out of the city because at the moment, the air pollution level is very high. In my opinion, the (peoples/people) would get sick and they would eventually abandon that city at the end if the pollution level (isn’t/doesn’t) go down.
