How to Describe a Picture in English

Hi, Guys!!!, 

Modern Family

In many oral exams, you will be asked to describe a picture, but how? Well, take it easy and practise! 

Firstly, look at the picture and you'd better start talking about general things such as: what can you see in the photo?, what are these people doing? or what is that boy doing?

You can use these useful phrases:

In this picutre, I can see ...

This photo shows ...

Threre is /are ...

Pay attention to this picture and read carefully its description.

Use the Present Cont. and describe as much as you can. Then, let's focus on the setting or environment. At this point, you can use: in the foreground, in the background, on the left, on the right, at the top, at the bottom, ...

After that, use your imagination and make assumptions, using Perhaps, maybe, might, ... And you can also describe what these people may feel in that picture.
