PART 1 · LESSON 8 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Eyes Open

A photo shop on Charoen Krung and a three-week-old who needs a passport photograph: white background, eyes open, mouth closed; she's asleep; wake her so that she opens her eyes; support her head so it doesn't tilt; are my hands in the picture; hold her still, don't make her laugh; three weeks old, whatever she wants she does; the first photo of her life, and she's frowning: the giving word after a verb, for so that.
