MY PLAY

Nykolaev is a modern town with plenty of shops. There are some good shopping areas. There is a great variety of shops: confectioners’, bookshops and bookstalls, newsagents’, chemists’, florists’ and flower stalls, branches of different banks, souvenir and gift shops and jewelers’. For shoppers with big bank account there are plenty of boutiques.

My favourite store is My Play. It is a toy shop. I like it because you can buy any toy you want. It is situated at 12, Sovetskaya Street. It is open from 10:00 am till 20:00 pm, 7 days a week. It offers soft toys, interesting board games and amazing loud speakers. The goods are quite expensive. However, they are of good quality. In addition, there are funny stickers, lovely souvenirs, interesting books and little colourful bags or purses.

Supernatural Family

All people in the world are different. But what happens with people who are very different from others?

In a family, there lived ten unusual people: two parents and eight children. No one knew what happened with these children but all of them had different abilities. They didn’t have friends and rarely went outside.

And one day these children went to school. They had good appearance but when nobody watched, they became uncontrolled. It was the first lesson Math. When Mathematics teacher came into classroom, she saw something horrible. Two twins were watching photo album, their superpower was transforming everything they saw into stone. One girl was watering a pot plant. She could grow flowers very fast. One boy was drawing a man on the blackboard; he could transform pictures into reality. One girl was reading a book. She was very clever and could read books very fast. One boy was eating inedible – he ate everything when he was hungry. One curly boy was wearing sandals with socks. He always wore something strange. And the girl with glasses was writing something. She could erase memory. So when the teacher screamed that girl erased everyone’s memory. The lesson began and no one could remember about it.

So that was the first day in school of this strange family. But it is a secret.

Making Logical Assumptions Based on Pictures

One day I came across a very interesting picture, the sense of which remained a mystery to me. What could that little girl have done to make the policeman chase her? You can see how diligently she is trying to escape from the pursuer; most likely she may have done something very terrible. So what could this little criminal have done?

Let`s begin with the weather, true villains must know that the weather makes up 50% of success. The weather may be warm and very comfortable, as the girl is wearing light clothing, unlike the policeman. He could overheat and lose consciousness. The place is also very suitable for escape. For the real villain asphalt can`t help to hide, but the beach can. The sand must be hard to run, so the policeman might fall behind later. Conclusion - the girl must have planned her crime before, as she has chosen right time and place. Policeman might have been chasing the girl for quite a long time, look at his tired face. But the girl is full of energy, her facial expression tells us that she can`t lose. She may be even picking up speed, leaving the policeman to swallow the dust. But still, why is he keeping chasing her? Little girls can`t steal money from banks or shops, they are too young for that things. She could have stolen something tiny like jewels, children are very nimble creatures. However, if it had been something expensive there would be more policemen chasing her. Probably it may have been a crime against this policeman. Everybody knows children love sweets. And every self respecting policemen might be addicted to donuts; here the picture starts to come together. The girl must have snuck into the police station or police car and her aim was donuts. She may have eaten them right in front of the stunned policeman. Then she might have smiled at him and jumped out of the window on someone’s car, while making a flip. The frightened guardian of law just managed to pop out of the window when the girl was already hiding behind the bend. The chase must have been supposed to start here.

And don`t even think to persuade me. Right in front of you is a terrible elusive criminal, and who knows what she might do next.

Making Logical Assumptions Based on Pictures

Spring is coming to an end and summer holidays will begin soon. I saw a picture that reminds me of warm summer days and I want to make some assumptions about it.

It might be a park with a tiny place for playing volleyball. Also it could be a special volleyball ground in her yard. It can’t be a professional ball park because there isn’t a special coverage. It must be quite warm because the girl is wearing a T-shirt. The sun must have gone behind a cloud, because I can’t see its rays. I think it might be a day time. She must be there with her friends because she can’t play volleyball alone. The girl must be drinking water because she is holding a bottle in her hands and she must have got tired of playing. She must want to rest. I think she can’t be a professional volleyball player, because she is not in a special uniform. She must have been playing for a long time. She might have been preparing for the competition. Also she might just have been playing volleyball for her own pleasure. It is very possible that she might have been filmed in the program about a healthy lifestyle. In future she might win a game or a competition. Maybe she will train a lot. Or she may stop playing and go home.

So I have such assumptions about this picture, but it is only my opinion.

Making Logical Assumptions Based on Pictures

I really like summer and yesterday I decided to search for some summer photos. I came across this lovely one. I really liked this photo. So, here are my assumptions based on this photo.

It must be a huge hotel. Also it may be a private house. It couldn`t be a flat. The weather must be sunny. It may be either morning or day time. It can`t be evening, the sun doesn’t shine so brightly in the evening. It must be hot, girls are wearing swimsuits. However, water must be cold. The girls must be relaxing. They also may be sunbathing. They might be speaking about something. The girls may have been lying for a short time because they aren’t tanned. Also they can`t have been lying in this pose very long. The girls couldn’t lie this way till evening. The hat might fall off her head and get wet.

Thanks to this photo I recollected all my summer memories.

It was an ordinary evening. I was sitting in the living room and watching TV. Suddenly in a commercial I saw an interesting photo which I want to describe to you.

It must be a river in Asia because the water Is dark-green. There is also a man standing in the boat and a crocodile attacking It. The weather must be cloudy as there were no sun rays. It must be quite warm because she man is wearing only shorts. The man definitely looks scared. The crocodile must be trying to bite the man. It must be very annoyed with his fishing nets. It also might be hungry. The man must be thinking how to avoid the crocodile`s bite and to survive. He can`t be worrying about his boat because it seems to be very old and his life is more important than it. He must have been fishing for a long time because his net is full of fish. However, he can`t be an experienced fisherman as they never catch fish in rivers full of crocodiles. He might have fished there before without coming across crocodiles. The man might fall from the boat into the water. He might be eaten by this alligator. He also might survive and escape the danger.

However, it was just an advertising of the photoshop services. The man was just an actor and the alligator was taken from another picture.

Making Logical Assumptions Based on Situations Imaginary Library

It was 1879, in a small American town of Charleston and then throughout America when all the books disappeared. They could have been somewhere but no one even had any idea about their location. At that time books must have been ordered only from France and Italy because in these countries a lot of clever and talented authors lived and of course delivery of books cost a lot of money and time. Then only the richest people in America could own books and textbooks were not issued in schools and the more books a student had the higher the status of his parents and him was.

Fiona Phiona Hopkins was a 12-year-old girl who studied at school for children of rich parents and her grandma Kate Hopkins was a former teacher of this school. She must have been one of the most respected people of the town because besides the fact that she was an honored teacher she was also a brilliant writer. Her masterpiece of fantasy genre, the book called The Imaginary Library was lost with the rest of the books. The only dream of Kate and her granddaughter had been to publish this book, Kate had spent a huge amount of money and had given her whole soul to create it. That’s why Fiona all childhood must have been collecting money to buy it from a man who must have stolen all the books of the town. As I have said before, unfortunately their family can’t have had a lot of money to buy all textbooks for school. Every day she went to school and all weekend she worked at home with her grandmother while other children walked and had fun. Fiona had a friend Claire whose parents were improperly rich so their daughter had all the textbooks, but she studied poorly and therefore Fiona was helping her. Claire really wanted to get into the company of children who were very smart and who had all the books, but she thought that for this she needed even more books and 8 the status after that must be higher.

Making Logical Assumptions Based on Situations

You must have heard about ancient Greek theatres that became the basis of all theatres. The main feature of ancient theatres was that all the roles in the performances were performed by men. Just imagine that such theatres still exist – women, children, old people are played by men.

One of those theatres might have gone on tour to different states of US. Not everywhere they were met with the same delight. Once they came to the N city. The weather was great so the artists decided to walk around the city dressed up like ladies. They were happy to see the sights of the city and to talk to the residents. They talked about their theater, inviting everyone to attend their performance in the evening and offering to buy tickets. Most residents happily agreed to come because troupes rarely came to them. But there were those who looked at the men in women’s outfit with contempt. The problem of gender inequality might still be existing there. Walking past the bar, “ladies” ran into a drunk company who tried to start a fight. The actors were forced to flee, and when they stopped, they didn’t understand where they were. They must have got lost.

They saw an elderly African American who was working in his garden and turned to him for help. He showed the actors the way to the theater and was rewarded with tickets to the show for him and his family.
