Describing an image using Voxopop or Vocaroo

Please visit our Voxopop Talkgroup at http://www.voxopop.com/group/a5ab31fc-b685-4c5e-90ec-0a16d3f0086c or go to www.vocaroo.com and do the following task:
Look at the image below and describe what you see in the target language. You may want to write down a few ideas. However, you should speak freely and not read your notes. Speak loud and clear. Listen to your recording before you submit or save it. Make sure to save it (when using Voxopop) or save and send it (when using Vocarroo) to me via e-mail to mesa@mcdaniel.edu
  • Describe the various objects you see in the picture and where are they located?
  • What kind of a person is that? 
  • What is he doing?
  • Where is he sitting/ sleeping/ ...?
  • Is he poor or rich? Why? How do you know that?
  • Give the image a title. Explain your title!
For example: “In the middle of the picture I see an old man in a bed. Above him there is an umbrella hanging down from the ceiling. Perhaps the roof is leaking …”
