Topic - Please describe the picture in as much detail as possible.

This seems to be a picture of a fairly large classroom at a university. There are several blackboards at the front of the classroom. There's also an overhead projector and a podium in front of the blackboards. The professor, who is sitting at the front, is talking to a female student. She seems to be asking some questions. It seems like the class is having a break as most of the students are not in their seats. In fact, there are only four students who are in their seats. Two male students at the back seem to be discussing something. One of them has glasses on. Another student in the middle seems to be going over some class materials. On the desks, there are bags, water bottles, books, and binders that students have left behind.

A: It's a little lower than what we expected, right?
B: A little lower? They must be out of their mind.

Amy regrets her breakup with Tim

• What's on your mind, Amy? You're deep in thought ─ that's so not you, girl!
• Leave me alone, Michelle. I feel terrible.
• Why? What's going on, Amy? You know you can talk to me about anything.
• It's just... I don't know. Just thinking about Tim.
• Tim? What about him? You know it's you who dumped him.
• I know, Michelle! You don't need to remind me. Well, I'm just... confused.
• If you ask me, he was the best thing that ever happened to you, you know.
• You think so, too?

-A chemical used to make baby bottles and other plastic containers could be linked to an array of hormonal problems, according to a U.S. report.

Plastic containers may pose health risks
A U.S. government report has found that biphenyl A, a chemical used to make baby bottles and many other shatterproof plastic containers, could be linked to a range of hormonal problems. The report was greeted by environmental groups as confirmation of their concerns. The federal National Toxicology Program said experiments on rats found precancerous tumors, urinary tract problems and early puberty when the animals were fed or injected with low doses of the chemical. More than 90 percent of Americans are exposed to trace amounts of biphenyl A, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
