How to describe a picture in French

Practise describing a photo in French using these five colour photos with prompt boxes to help students think of what to say.

The photos show various outdoor scenes with people doing a range of free-time activities. The prompts remind students to consider the following information when doing the picture description task:

• where the photo was taken

• who the people are

• what they are doing

• what they are wearing

• what the students' opinion is of the picture.

The first photo is a model answer, providing examples of what students can say or write for each prompt.

This worksheet is great to train students on how to describe a photo for the GCSE speaking exam or to revise for the Foundation writing question.
