Strategy - General Advice

GENERAL ADVICE

• Start with a general idea of the subject of the picture before going into details
• Organise your description – don’t describe the same thing more than once
• Talk in sentences – don’t produce lists of items you can see
• Use the PRESENT PROGRESSIVE (the dog is chasing a cat; the boy is wearing a sweater)
• Give reasons (related to the picture) for your ideas
• Talk about the situation as well as the physical things you can see in the picture.
• Give some personal reaction to the picture
