Picture description
Listening & vocabulary
This exercise consists of a set of pictures that can be used for storytelling, conversation classes and practicing picture description. One can choose from pictures titled: zoo, summer, winter, town, school, fairytale, circus, space, hospital and jungle. Students can check the words by clicking on pictures.
Tips:
- When describing a picture remember to use Present Continuous tense to talk about what the people/animals in the picture are doing e.g. The elephant is eating an apple. If you need to practise Present Continuous, do exercise 601 first. For more exercises choose 'Present Continuous' from the list of topics in the menu.
- Remember to use there is/there are to talk about things that we can see in the picture e.g. There is a table in front of the coffee shop.
- You will also need to use prepositions of place to describe where things are located e.g. The girl is holding her phone under the desk. If you don't know prepositions of place well, don't worry! You can learn them by doing exercise 605. For more exercises, choose 'prepositions of place' from the list of topics in the menu.
