Overview: Beth's spontaneous description was effective and came across with clear instructions, however it took a long time to get her point across due to fillers, pauses and use of interrupting herself with different bits of information. Nonetheless, the understanding between Beth and Rachel is clearly portrayed as there is not a huge confusion, and the way that Beth is describing the objects to Rachel is clear and imaginative, full of common socialect that both Beth and Rachel are familiar with.
