SAMPLES

Describe

what you can

see in the

picture

In this picture, a man is putting some sausages on a barbecue. 

It’s a warm sunny day and a lot of people are sitting having a barbecue outdoors in a park or some public area There are some cars outside the fence, so it looks like they drove there.

The man is using a big gas-barbecue He’s turning the sausages with a spatula He’s holding a bun or some bread in his hand, so maybe he’s going to make a burger or a hotdog He’s a little bit fat, so I think he likes barbecuing!

Behind him there is a young woman in a pink dress Perhaps they are related There are some other people at a big wooden picnic table The barbecue looks like a nice thing for a family or friends to

do on a long hot summer day.

Describe what you can see in the picture

The picture shows a big group of young people having a barbeque in a park/woods I think they are from Japan but I’m not sure: it could be some other Asian country There are about

20 people in the group, and most of them are wearing jeans and blue or dark- colored shirts They are having a lot of fun, and some of them are making faces at the camera Everybody is trying to get in the picture They are in some kind of a park or a forest They could be on holiday, or it could be a school trip I don’t know what they are cooking It could be hamburger, but it could also be some special Japanese food! I love some activities like this.
