Describing pictures 

• On the following slides you will see random pictures.
• Everyone has one minute to look at the picture and think about what you could say about it.
• After one minute, I will ask someone to describe what's happening in the picture.
• Think about the WH-questions (what, why, who, where etc.)

Now: think about your speaking test

• What do you want to talk about?
• How do you say it in English?
• Which questions could I ask you?
•  How would you answer those questions?

Which questions
could I ask you?

Write down for yourself...

an answer to my first question on your speaking test: What do you want to talk about?

Don't just write one sentence. Your test will be about 8-10 minutes!

You can also create a mind map again and practice speaking out loud
