Tips
  • Your description can be boring. There's is not extra points in being interesting. So describe colors and shapes and describe whatever you see.
  • Focus things in the background if you run of out things to say. Practice this 20 times so that you can type faster and accurately in the real test.
  • If you don't understand the picture or can't describe the picture very well, make a judgement (good or bad). Say what you like and what you don't like about the picture.
