a: Can you describe your bag for me, sir?
b: Sure. It's a large leather suitcase, and my initials are on the handle. - a: What kind of insect was it that bit you?
b: It's hard to describe. Let me draw a picture of it for you. - a: How was your hotel?
b: I was disappointed. It was so different from how it was described in the brochure. - a: Describe the kind of woman you'd like to marry.
