Find four things
1. Look at the four pictures on the next pages and find four things in each one that you could describe using the Spanish that you already know.
Choose from the following ideas:
|
People Who can you see? Are they a family or friends? How many people are there? What is one of them wearing? (e.g. Él/Ella lleva …) |
Place Where is the photo taken? (e.g. Está(n) en un restaurante.) What can you see? (e.g. Veo un árbol.) What’s the weather like (if outside)?
|
Activities What are people doing in the photo? (e.g. El hombre está comiendo.) Do the people like what they are doing? (e.g. A ella le gusta nadar.)
|
2. Work with a partner to write four sentences for each of the following photos.
|
Top tips |
|
The photos in the exam will be black and white, but you could describe the colours if it is possible that your sentence is true, for example ‘el autobús es rojo’ or ‘veo un pantalon gris’. |
