woman sitting on the chair is our coach, Mrs Smith. Now look at this one, the boy wearing the white cap is Tom,
he's really good at skating! Oh no, I don't like this one. It's snowing, windy, and very cold. Look, we're all wearing
big jackets and caps. I like this one, we're having a tea break and everyone is drinking. Look at Tom with that
enormous cup! I'm not in this photo because I'm taking it. Now the last one, this is my favourite, everyone is

Tom
