1 In this photo I can see a street artist drawing a portrait on

the pavement. 2 In the background there are some people

watching him. They’re wearing shorts and T-shirts, so

3 I think it’s summer. The street is quite crowded, so

perhaps this is a tourist area. The street artist has got dark

hair and he’s wearing jeans and a bright green T-shirt.

4 He looks quite young. 5 Next to him

is a picture and he’s copying it. 6 In my opinion he’s

a very good artist. 7 I imagine he’s going to collect

money from the people who are watching him.
