Jednym z najpopularniejszych sposobów opisu obrazka jest rozpoczęcie od ogólnego opisu tego, co widzimy na zdjęciu, a potem przejście do opisywania szczegółów i dzielenia się własnymi przypuszczeniami. Najważniejsze jest uwzględnienie opisu sytuacji, przedmiotów i osób przedstawionych na ilustracji, nie musi być jednak bardzo szczegółowy. Do opisu powinniśmy używać czasu Present Continuous i Present Simple. Poniższe wyrażenia są często wykorzystywane do tego zadania.

She is wearing casual clothes. She has a tennis rocket in her right hand and a tennis ball in her left hand. I think she loves playing tennis and she is excellent at it. 1) Have you ever played tennis? No, I haven t played tennis. In my opinion it s very boring and tiring. However, I do watch tennis on television. I think it s great fun to watch it. 2) Do you consider playing chess as a sport? I don t consider playing chess as a sport because it tests your mental abilities not your stamina or endurance. It my opinion it s just a kind of a board game.
In this picture I can see a Chinese or Japanese boy. He is smiling probably because he has a cake on his face. In his hands he is holding some cake. In the background I see another man and some shelves. It can be his room. There is also a cake. I think this is one of these boys birthday party. 1.Why is this boy having a cake on his face? Probably he has birthday and is having fun. It could be a joke. 2.Do you like playing jokes? No, I do not like playing jokes. They can be nasty to other people and hurt them. I do not like joking and telling jokes. Maybe I do not have a sense of humor.
In the picture we can see a girl. She is in her late teens. The girl is sitting cross legged. She is wearing a red blouse and a pair of black trousers. The girl has got long dark hair. She is typing on a laptop. In my opinion she is surfing the Internet. Maybe she is searching for some information or maybe she is doing some shopping online. The girl seems to be very focused and absorbed by the activity.
In the picture we can see a girl. She is in her late teens. She is wearing a grey turtleneck sweater and a bracelet on her right hand. I think she is supposed to be studying because she has got a book in front of her. I suppose it is an encyclopedia Her facial expression tells us that she is bored and not interested in studying. She is supporting her head on her right hand and there is a dissatisfied grimace on her face. She is probably at the risk of having to repeat the year and her parents want her to improve her grades. 1. What s your favourite subject and why? 2. Do you think that exams are the best way of testing students knowledge? 1. My favourite subject is English. Nowadays, English has become the lingua franca and it enables us to communicate worldwide. Furthermore, more and more employers want their employees to speak English as a lot of jobs involve travelling abroad. In this day and age, learning English is just not a pleasing pastime but a necessity. I am glad that I have an opportunity to learn English at school. 2. In my opinion exams are not the best measure of students skills and knowledge. In majority, students sitting an exam are usually afraid of failing it and it has an adverse impact on their results. I think that the form of test should change, students should not feel that they are taking part in a rat race.
In the picture we can see a young girl walking her dog. She is on the street. On the right we can see a building and on the left there is a car. Probably they are in a city. The girl is wearing a red top, jeans and sandals so I think it is very hot. The dog is rather small. It has black, brown and white fur. 1.Where is this girl going? In my opinion she is walking the dog and they are going home now because it is very hot. 2.Do you like animals? Why? Why not? I like animals very much. I think most of people do. They can protect us, become our friends or even help, for example the blind. Unfortunately I am allergic to fur and I can t have a dog or a cat. Maybe that is why I like them so much.
In the picture I can see two young girls sitting on a bench. They are talking on the phone. The girls are at the lake, maybe on a trip or holidays. In the background there is a cottage and a forest. The light is on in this cottage so I think those two girls live there. 1. Who are those girls talking to? I think the girls are calling their parents to tell them that they are already on a camp, safe and sound. 2. Where do you usually spend your holiday? I like spending my holidays at the seaside. I love swimming and sunbathing. I usually read books and listen to music sitting on the beach. I go to Italy or Spain every year on summer.
The picture presents many people at the seaside. In the foreground I see sea and sand. In the background there are houses and trees. In the middle of the picture there are many people. They are doing many things. Some of them are playing with children, some are swimming, whereas the others are having a rest. I think the weather is not nice because I can see some clouds and no sun. 1. Why all those people have come to the beach? Because it is summer, they have a lot of free time and want to relax. 2. Which season do you prefer, winter or summer? I prefer winter. I love snow and mountains and in winter I can ski. That is what I love. I am not afraid of cold. I don t mind wearing anorak, gloves, boots and cap. I like Christmas and Christmas is in winter as well.
In the picture I can see bicycle riders. They (the people in the foreground) must be experienced/professional riders because of their equipment and dress. Their bicycles seem to be in a good condition. In the background there is a forest. There are two ordinary people walking down the path, too. Considering the way they look, It seems to me that the people in the picture are happy and devoted to their hobby. They re probably having a break. The general atmosphere is positive.
The picture shows a peacock in the garden. The animal is very colorful with a long green tail. It is walking on the grass. In the foreground I see some yellow and violet flowers. It could be also a park. 1.Who, in your opinion, took that picture? I think it was a person who likes animals and plants very much. He is a very good photographer as well. 2. Which do you prefer, spending time outside or in front of TV? I prefer spending time outside. I love riding a bike, walking and even sometimes working in the garden. I can relax and breath fresh air. Sometimes when the weather is bad I watch TV. I am bored with all those programs and shows. Źródło: http://www.e-angielski.com/opis-obrazka
