Writing
Visualize
Look at the photograph of the diner. Then use your imagination
to visualize the interior. Is it formal or informal? Is the lighting
bright or soft? Are the colors warm or cool? How is it furnished
and decorated? How are the people dressed? What music
would you hear? What kinds of food and drink are served?
Plan
You have visualized the décor, the people, the music, and the
food and beverages that you might find inside the building.
Decide which three elements you would include in an essay on
this topic. In what order would you place them? Why?
