5. Visual Writing Exercise

If you finished the Text Recreation Exercise, try this additional Visual Writing Exercise. The picture shows the actions and situation only. There is no dialogue in the image. Use the scenes to imagine what the characters are saying.

๐Ÿ’ก
How to use this exercise
Look carefully at the picture panels below.
Then, write your own short Japanese text or dialogue describing the situation.
Try to use the vocabulary and grammar from this lesson, but you may also use other words and grammar you know.

Theme: Before the Typhoon Move

Situation: You are moving tomorrow, but the forecast says a typhoon may arrive at night. A friend is coming to help in the late afternoon. There are heavy pieces of furniture, cans, toys, and important documents to organize. Some items need to be disposed of properly, but you don't know where to take the bulky waste. While getting everything ready, you realize you've lost an important document. After searching with your friend, you both find the document next to a box.

Try to use some of these words in your text or dialogue.
