Exercise 6, page 149.0:01
I've chosen photo number one.0:06
I took it when I visited India last January.0:08
As you can see, it's a picture of a man with his two children.0:11
A little boy and a little girl.0:15
They are sitting outside a building on the pavement.0:17
They don't look very comfortable or happy.0:20
The little girl is clinging to her father for comfort.0:23
It could be chilly weather as they are all wearing long sleeved clothes.0:29
They may be feeling cold and perhaps they haven't eaten anything today.0:33
There are some old boots, shoes and tools in the foreground.0:37
So the man must be a shoemaker.0:41
There is also a variety of brushes in the right of the picture.0:43
That means he tries to make a living by cleaning the shoes of passersby.0:47
I'm sure he earns very little and the family are poor.0:52
I took this photo to remember the man because I stopped to have my shoes cleaned.0:56
They weren't that dirty, but I wanted to help him with a little money.1:00
I hope this picture will give you some idea of the poverty in India.1:04
It's a fact of life there and you can't help feeling how lucky you are not to have to face it like those people do.1:07
