Four young people sit side by side at a long, light wooden table in what looks like a library, and all of them are writing. Behind them, tall wooden bookcases are packed with rows of colourful books, although none of the titles on the spines can be read; the wall and ceiling above are cream, and the room is bright with soft, even indoor light. On the left, a young man in his twenties wears a light blue denim shirt with two chest pockets and the sleeves pushed up above his elbows. He has short brown hair and light stubble, his head is bent forward, his eyes are down on his page, and he writes with a dark pencil on a plain white notepad. Next to him sits a young woman with long, straight fair hair, wearing a mint green zip-up hooded top with white cords over a white T-shirt; she writes in an open notebook with a blue ballpoint pen and also looks down. The third person is a young woman with wavy reddish-brown hair in a dark blue knitted jumper, writing in her open notebook with a red pen. On the right, a fourth young woman has long dark brown hair and a teal V-neck jumper, and she writes with a yellow pencil in another open notebook. A dark tablet with a blue edge lies flat on the table on the right with its screen switched off, and there are no books, bags or drinks on the table itself. Nobody is talking or looking at anyone else; all four keep their heads lowered and their faces calm and serious, so they look very focused on their work. — People studying for an important exam.
