In this picture, what do you think will most probably happen next?
Excellent answer (transcript): around CLB 11–12
Looking at this cozy bookstore on a rainy day, I predict that the relaxed atmosphere will persist as customers continue to browse the shelves, finding new books to read or perhaps sipping coffee while they relax in the chairs. The rain outside will likely continue, enhancing the peaceful ambiance inside. The couple at the table will likely continue to enjoy their coffee, and as the day goes on, more people might seek refuge in the warmth of the bookstore. With its inviting lighting and calm energy, this space will remain a perfect retreat for anyone wanting to lose themselves in a book, making it the ideal escape from the dreary weather outside.

Good answer (transcript): around CLB 7–8
This peaceful bookstore scene shows a cozy atmosphere with people browsing books or reading in comfortable chairs. The rain falling outside adds to the calm setting. I predict that the customers will continue exploring the shelves, and some may take a break to sit and read. The couple sipping coffee will likely enjoy their conversation for a while longer, and the bookstore will continue to offer a quiet, relaxing environment as the rain outside creates a soothing backdrop. More people might arrive as the day progresses, eager to escape the weather and enjoy a good book.
