Describing Graphic Illustrations

In Part 2, be prepared to gather and guess about information from a visual and the provide responses to it. The first graphic could be an illustration of

  1. Activities
  2. Event (community or cultural such as Christmas or a craft fair)
  3. Living arrangement like a home
  4. Celebration (e.g. a birthday)
 
There are 3 questions. The question is spoken so you must listen carefully to the question. It will not appear on the screen. You have 40 seconds

I think the boy should have been more careful

    7.   Giving examples
 

For example I once fell down and someone helped me so I think……
