Question
Answer
"This is a picture of some people in a kitchen. It might be a family. A father, two children and a grandfather. But I'm not sure. There is a man helping the boy to break an egg - I think it is. He could be the boy's father. He's being very helpful and showing the boy what to do. I think the boy is enjoying himself. He doesn't think cooking is dull, in my opinion. He looks very satisfied. He looks fairly smart too.
There is a little girl next to the boy. She could be his sister. She's mixing something in a pan. She doesn't look very cheerful though. She looks rather worried.
Perhaps this is a competition - a cooking competition or they're practising for a competition - like Master Chef on television.
The kitchen is fairly large - it doesn't look like a kitchen in a house. The kitchen looks neat and tidy too.
There is an older man behind these people. If he isn't the grandfather, he could be a chef. I think he's laughing. He looks very cheerful. Perhaps he's watching to see if the children are using suitable ingredients in their recipes.
Nobody is wearing an apron. The older man with white hair is dressed in a shirt with short sleeves. It's not essential to wear an apron but it's a good idea so you don't get dirty. Most chefs usually wear aprons when they are working in the kitchen.
I can't really see anything in the background - just white walls. There is a woman, I think, on the left of the picture. But I can't describe her. I can't see enough of her."
