Let’s describe some pictures

Describe the picture

This picture shows us a scene on board of some aircraft. In the centre of the picture there is a sick person. This is an old woman. She is covered with a blanket. There is an oxygen mask placed over her nose. I can’t say what has happened to her and I can’t detect the type of the problem exactly. But I guess that it isn’t a

serious problem, because the woman and the doctor, sitting in front of her, are calm. The doctor is wearing in white doctor's smock. She is checking woman’s blood pressure. The flight is in progress, because I can see other passengers in this picture. They are relaxed too. I can suppose that in the end the aircraft will land successfully. The sick woman will be taken into the hospital for a check-up or the doctor will give her some recommendations and the woman will go home after arrival.

Describe the picture. Use the following words:

River, girl, summer, boats, to have a rest, excursion, river bank, park, tourists summer holidays
