In this picture, I can see a man who is sitting next to a big window.
He must be around 30 years old and is wearing casual clothes. He has his hands in his pockets while he’s looking at the landscape. It’s probably a big city because I can see a few tall buildings in the background. The weather is not particularly good. It’s cloudy, which is why he decided to stay home, I guess.
He is alone, so he may be feeling lonely. It seems that he is thinking about something important, because he looks focused and serious. Also, he could be missing his family and friends because he hasn’t seen them for a long time.

– Shall I start?
– Okay
– hmm I don’t think horse-riding is a good option because he may get hurt if he’s not very skillful. What do you think?
– Yes, you’re right. Also, you don’t really talk to other people much while riding. As for making friends in the library, it’s difficult too, for the same reason, right?
– Yes, you have to be quiet there. So what about joining the gym. I think it’s a great idea because you can exercise and make friends at the same time. Do you agree?
– Of course. The gym is a great option. He can meet a lot of people there and then do outdoor activities with them, like jogging, swimming or climbing.
– Yes, that’s exactly what I think. He probably likes going out too, so nighclubs could also be a great place to meet new people…
– Well, yes… but going to the gym is healthier, and has more benefits than going to nightclubs…
– Absolutely! So let’s recommend that he join the gym!
