INPUT: speak

RUBRIC: Accept any correct combination using a compound subject joined by "and" with the plural verb form (e.g. "Bill and Steve are pilots."); the compound subject and plural agreement are the point — wrong agreement fails.

# Source: ST §What Are They Doing? (lrev-s8)
$PRODUCE Look and Say What They're Doing
ID: lrev-s8
INTRO: In this part you'll review asking and answering questions, then finish with some spelling. To warm up: eight pictures of people busy with something. Look at each one and say what the person is doing.
INSTRUCTION: Look at the picture and answer in a complete sentence.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as the factual key; accept any grammatically correct present progressive sentence describing the same action in the learner's own words.
PROMPT: What is he doing? {st-page_142_001.jpg|A man sitting relaxed in an armchair looking straight ahead}
RESPONSE: He's sitting in a chair.
PROMPT: What is she doing? {st-page_142_002.jpg|An older woman sitting and reading a magazine}
RESPONSE: She's reading a magazine.
PROMPT: What is he doing? {st-page_142_003.jpg|A man sitting at a desk talking on the telephone}
RESPONSE: He's talking on the telephone.
PROMPT: What is she doing? {st-page_142_004.jpg|A woman in a grocery store taking a box of rice off the shelf into a cart}
RESPONSE: She's buying rice.
RUBRIC: The picture shows a woman shopping in a grocery store (taking a box of rice). Accept any correct description of shopping — "buying rice", "buying groceries", "buying food", "grocery shopping", "shopping" — in the present progressive.
PROMPT: What is he doing? {st-page_142_005.jpg|A young man sitting on a sofa playing an electric guitar}
RESPONSE: He's playing the guitar.
PROMPT: What is she doing? {st-page_142_006.jpg|A girl outdoors kneeling and playing with a dog}
RESPONSE: She's playing with a dog.
PROMPT: What is he doing? {st-page_142_007.jpg|A man in uniform sliding his tray along a cafeteria serving line}
RESPONSE: He's getting food.
RUBRIC: The picture shows a soldier with a tray at a cafeteria serving line; whether he is getting or serving the food is ambiguous. Accept "getting food", "taking food", "serving food", "eating at the mess hall", or similar — the point is a correct present progressive sentence about food at the counter.
PROMPT: What is he doing? {st-page_142_008.jpg|A man in glasses and an apron standing behind a counter with shelves of glasses}
RESPONSE: He's working at the snack bar.
RUBRIC: The picture is ambiguous — a man in glasses and an apron behind a counter, who can be read as a snack-bar worker or as a doctor. Accept either reading ("working at the snack bar", "serving drinks", "examining a patient", "working") as long as the sentence is correct present progressive.
