see…”, “In this picture there’s a …” or “The

When you talk about a picture you often need to

say where something is.

The photograph shows a football player getting a

red card from a referee at a soccer match.

The player who is getting the card is on the

white team. The other players in the picture are

all from the other team. They look very happy

with the referee’s decision. The other team hasa blue and white kit.

The referee is holding the red card high in the

air. He is being very clear – I think he is quite

strict and is not allowing any discussion. Thestadium is crowded, and it is difficult to see

where the players are from.

The picture shows three boys in a small boat on

a river. The river looks cold and wet and thewater is moving fast.

One of the boys is holding a paddle or an oar. He

is looking down at the water and he looks

worried. Maybe he thinks that they are going to

hit something or fall out.

The boy in the middle is smiling. He is enjoying

the adventure! He's only wearing a T-shirt, so

maybe it is not very cold. The third boy is

looking at something up the river, near a bridgeor a wall. There could be something coming, or

maybe there are some others in a boat.

I think they are students on a holiday or a

summer school.

The picture shows a family visiting their new

baby in hospital. It’s the evening, because thelight is on, so the father must have brought his

children after work or school.

There are two children beside the baby, a boy

and a girl. The boy is a little older than his

sister. He’s about six or seven. He looks proud.

The girl looks very excited to have a new sister.

The father has his arm around his children. He

looks proud as well. The mother is sitting at the

left. She looks happy but a little tired.

The baby is in the middle. I think it’s a girl,

because she is wearing pink clothes. The baby is

sleeping despite all the noise and excitement.

The picture shows three girls waiting for a plane in

the departure lounge at an airport.

They are laughing and having a lot of fun. I thinkthey’ve been waiting a long time because they look

tired, especially the girl on the left. She is leaning

her head on her friend’s shoulder. The girl on the

right has finished reading a paper, and it looks likethey have been drinking some Seven-Up while they

were waiting.

The airport is crowded, and there are a lot of other

people waiting for the next plane. They all havesome hand luggage, but I can’t see any big bags, so

they must have checked in their baggage already.

They are wearing coats and hats and scarves, so the

weather must be cold at the airport or where they

are going.

This is a picture of a big city on a river. . The

picture shows boats and ships in the river

and some big old and modern buildings on

the land. There are trees along the river and

there is some traffic on the road which runs

along the river. One of the ships looks old. In

the right of the picture there is a big modern

building. I think it is a museum or a train

station or a big shopping center.
