The Simpsons

The Simpsons are 25 years old. It is the most watched cartoon series worldwide and it is said that you are not really famous until you appear in one of the episodes.

Picture Description

Describing a picture is a common exercise when learning any language. In order to get some practice,  I'm going to ask you to choose your favourite picture and try to describe it for at least five minutes. Here are some questions that may help you.

1. Who appears in the picture? Friends or family? Names, Age, Jobs?
2. Where were you? Is it a special place? Why? Were you on holidays? Was it a party?
3. When was it taken? Who took the picture? What was the weather like?
4. Can you describe your/ their clothes and hair? Any other interesting details?
5. Why have you chosen it? Why is this picture special for you?
