Sample answer
Study the organization, not the script
This is a crowded airport departure hall with travellers moving in several directions. In the foreground, a family is standing beside three large suitcases while one parent checks a phone. On the left, people are lining up at airline counters and an employee is pointing toward the baggage belt. In the centre, two travellers are looking up at a large flight-information screen. Farther back, passengers are entering the security area with carry-on bags. The most noticeable feature is how busy the hall feels, because almost everyone appears to be checking a ticket, moving luggage or watching the departure boards.
