GREEN GRASS PARK:
This is the third activity in the Voicemail Game! Here you see a picture prompt called Green Grass Park!
We have designed three versions of this picture prompt to include Malay, Mandarin and Tamil words respectively. Of the three versions, you’re asked to select the version with the language that you are most familiar with.
Begin your recording and describe what you see in the picture for as long as you would like, using whichever language you are most comfortable with. It is alright if you choose not to use the language presented in your selected version.
You can also swap between languages or mix them up, however you feel comfortable! For example you can say: “Got a nyamuk in the picture” , “A girl is listening to some ge qu”, “A siruvan is riding on his bike”. All these utterances are perfectly acceptable!
