Sample answer

Study the organization, not the script

Hey, I have to tell you what is happening at the mall. A woman is pushing a baby stroller past the stores, but there is no baby inside it. Instead, a large golden dog is sitting upright under the stroller canopy like a passenger. It is wearing a red bandana and calmly looking at everyone who walks by. The owner has even put a small water bottle in the cup holder. A few children are laughing and pointing at the dog, while the dog looks completely comfortable. It is one of the funniest things I have seen here because the stroller is clearly designed for a child, not such a big dog.

What to notice
