hi in some speaking exams you have to describe a picture and today I will show you how to nail it okay first the most important thing don't be afraid or ashamed if you don't understand something during the exam say it and if you're not sure what to do ask could you repeat what do you mean I'm sorry I didn't understand that I'm not sure what to do should I start and sometimes you can say I'm sorry I'm really nervous and it might help you and remember you don't need to know all the words for the things you can see in the picture if you don't know the exact word just describe what you see the main thing you see I would start describing this picture by saying in the picture I can see five people there are two men and three women there are no children in the picture and remember we say in the picture not on the picture there is a plant in the picture there is a plant on the picture to describe actions we use present continuous the people in the picture are not sitting at their desks they are standing and raising their hands they are all smiling they are all wearing similar colors the woman on the right is wearing glasses focus on the details in front of the people there is a desk on the desk there are two notebooks some papers and a plant in the background I can see a notice board behind the woman on the right there is another plant what do you think based on the fact that they are smiling I believe that they like their job or maybe one of them has just told a joke and that's why everybody looks so happy I guess they are good friends and that they like each other because of the clothes that the people are wearing I think is Friday their clothes are not entirely formal and many offices have casual Fridays which allows their employees to dress casually I like this picture because everybody in it is very relaxed and they seem to be a good team it reminds me of my parents office where the people are very friendly and helpful and I think I'd like to have colleagues like that in the future and I will describe two more pictures for you in the picture I can see two boys I guess they are both six or seven years old on the left side of the picture there is a globe and on the right side of the picture there are some books the boys are in the middle of the picture they are both sitting and smiling the boy on the left is wearing a red t-shirt and the boy on the right is wearing a black t-shirt they are sitting next to each other and they are reading a book I believe this is a geography book because of the globe that is standing next to the boys judging by the fact that there are a lot of books and no toys in the picture I think the boys are at school it seems that they like it because they look quite happy I guess they are best friends and that's why they are sitting together it reminds me of my school friends and how we used to learn and play together in the picture I can see a couple a man and a woman they are in the foreground and in the background there are some trees there is also a really big tree on the left side of the picture they are in the park I think it's springtime because all the leaves are green the sky looks bright and they are wearing light jackets which are perfect for spring based on the look on the woman's face I think she's angry even though she is in a beautiful park she's not smiling she doesn't seem to enjoy it and I think she wants to go away it seems that the man is following her he is stretching his arms as if he wanted to say sorry I suppose they have been arguing maybe he has done something wrong and it made her furious I guess that whatever the man did it was rather serious because people don't normally argue in parks I hope that they will be able to talk about it and that he will get the chance to make things right again okay now let's practice what you've just learned you you okay that's it for today thank you for watching give this video a like if you enjoyed it and I'll see you next time bye
