details and then 4 mins to write your story on the page provided by the SSB.

11/13

Assume that you have seen the picture(above) during story writing, it will be displayed till 30

secs and then 1 min for noting down few details. Assumptions may vary person to person,

but try to assume practical and logical, if you find the character as a female, then write it as

a female but male.

Details in the Box

o According to the picture, I have seen a female[F] character first on the very left side of

the frame with positive mode and age around 26 years. So you can see what I have

mentioned it in the box given.

o I have also seen another female[F] on the right hand side of the frame with little sad

facial expression (negative mood) and age around 40 years.

o I have seen another character in the middle of the frame, I not able to guess the

gender so I marked it as a person [P] but I guess the age would be 45 years and

mood is neutral.

o These assumptions may vary person to person, one may see only two characters and

other may assume it as a battle ground, so it depends on how you think and respond

to what you see.

Action Part

Coming to action part, I find the scene of an agricultural land, so my story is related to

farming/ agricultural. After seeing the picture few keywords came to my mind like

farming+poor+agriculture+help+fertilizers+drought+earning+livelihood etc etc , so based on

that I assumed some story in my mind and based on that I wrote the action in very short.

Your Story

Once you are done with above, you will get 4 mins to write the story, keep your story

relavent to the picture and characters mentioned by you. Sometime you may not be able to

finish the story in time, but that's okay, you can add the missing parts while narrating but

again make sure you do not change your story completely, but try to keep it relevant.
