On this video you will see the different parts of a picture so you can say where everything is: in the foreground, on the left side (also "on the left-hand side), etc.
Also, you will learn how to talk about where people/things are and what they are doing.
Here are some useful guidelines:
- Always start by saying what the picture is about
- Start describing what the most important thing in the picture is, and then talk about other things around it
- Start with a brief description of things, and then, if you have time, give more details
- Talk about what you see, but also about what is happening
- Use your imagination, speculate about things you don't know but you can imagine by looking at the picture (don't get too wild here though)
- It is ok to give your personal opinion and reaction to what you see, that will make your description richer, more personal and more original.
You will also find these other video lessons useful for picture description:
- CLOTHES
- DESCRIBING PLACES (lots of useful vocabulary under the Etc tab there)
