Tips to describe a photo or picture

• If you are unsure about anything in the picture, describe them

with modal verbs. Example:- It could be (maybe) a picture of a shopping center.

• You can also use some probability adverbials when you are unsure about anything. (probably, possibly, perhaps, etc.)

• Make comparisons when necessary. Suppose there are two boys in the picture. One is wearing a shirt, and another a sweater. You can draw a comparison. Example:

- The boy on the left is wearing a white shirt, while the other boy is wearing a blue sweater.

• You can speculate about the picture to make the description more interesting. For example, suppose a photograph shows green countryside. You can speculate that it’s a Bangladeshi village. Or if there is a snowy hill, you can speculate it is Switzerland.

Don’t:

Panic if you don’t know the words for all the things in the picture. You don’t need to know all the words for everything in the picture if you know what to say when you don't know an exact word.
