Speaking Part 2Part 2 - 3 questions, 45 secs each

1. Describe the picture. (speak for 45 seconds )2.Giving an opinion. ( speak for 45 seconds )

3. Comparing with own situation/experiences. (speak for 45 seconds)

Who/What do you see? Where are they? What are they doing? Whatdo they look like? How do you think they feel? What’s in the

background?(if applicable) What’s the weather like?(if applicable)

It’s best to give a general impression or description rather thanseparate details. And if you have time give short details about

separate details of the picture.





To do this we usually use adverbial phrases at the start of the sentence.

Here are some phrases/structure to use when giving an opinion.

Justifying you opinionbecause.. (+subject verb) / as…(+subject verb)

since… (+subject verb) / because of… (+noun phrase)due to….(+noun phrase) / as a result of…. (+noun phrase)
