This picture shows a scene at a playground. I assume that this is a playground as there are many facilities such as the slide and monkey bars and that there are many children playing there.It is also very spacious for children to run about. Hence, I can conclude that this picture is taken in a playground. In the foreground, there is a little boy around the age of five with dark colored long sleeve shirt sliding down the slide with his arms outstretched. From his facial espression, he seems to be having a lot of fun playing the slide as he is laughing happily away. Instead of sliding in a safe way, the boy is sliding facing downwards. I think that he should not be sliding in such a dangerous way as he could get hurt easily. Not only that, i think that his parents should accompany and stay beside him as it is very dangerous to play alone in such an unsafe way.
At the top of the slide, there is another toddler with her mother behind her sliding down same way as the little boy. Fortunately, her mother is playing the slide with her, which is safer. However, I still feel that such a way of sliding is not recommanded as anything could happen if they chose to play in such a precarious way. i also think that they should slide down a while later until the little boy in front of them has left the slide. This is so as to prevent them from colliding into each other.

The weather seems to be cool and sunny as it is usually during such nice weather that many people would chose to go out. This picture is probably taken from somewhere in a cold foreign country as the people in the picture are all wearing long sleeved shirt. It is not a very common sight to see people wearing long sleeved shirts in Singapore as the weather here is very hot.

In conclusion, i feel that parents should watch over their children at what they are doing. Parents should also guide their children and correct them if what they are wrong.

Fairly detailed analysis of the picture but try to use more sophisticated vocabulary, instead of "laughing happily"; say more about the boy's thoughts and perhaps the joys of childhood.
