Hi, in some speaking exams you have to describe a picture and today I will show you how to nail it.

Okay, first the most important thing.

Don't be afraid or ashamed if you don't understand something during the exam.

Say it and if you're not sure what to do, ask.

Could you repeat?

What do you mean?

I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.

I'm not sure what to do to do?

Should I start?
10
And sometimes you can say,
11
I'm sorry, I'm really nervous and it might help you.
12
And remember, you don't need to know all the words for the things you can see in the picture.
13
If you don't know the exact word,
14
just describe what you see.
15
The main thing you see.
16
I would start describing this picture by saying,
17
in the picture I can see five people.
18
There are two men and three women.
19
There are no children in the picture.
20
And remember we say in the picture, not on the picture.

To describe actions we use present continuous.

They are all wearing similar colours.

Focus on the details.

On the desk there are two notebooks,
32
some papers and a plant.
33
In the background I can see a notice board.
34
Behind the woman on the right there is another plant.
35
What do you think?
36
Based on the fact that they are smiling I believe
37
that they like their job or maybe one of them has just told a joke and that's why everybody looks so happy.
38
I guess they are good friends and that they like each other.
39
Because of the clothes that the people are wearing, I think it's Friday.
40
Their clothes are not entirely formal and many offices have casual Fridays,
41
which allows their employees to dress casually.
42
I like this picture because everybody in it is very relaxed and they seem to be a good team.
43
It reminds me of my parents' office,
44
where the people are very friendly and helpful and I think I'd like to have colleagues like that in the future.
45
And now I will describe two more pictures for you.
46
In the picture I can see two boys.
47
I guess they are both six or seven years old.

On the left side of the picture there is a globe
49
and on the right side of the picture there are some books.
50
The boys are in the middle of the picture.
51
They are both sitting and smiling.
52
The boy on the left is wearing a red t-shirt and the boy on the right is wearing a black t-shirt.
53
They are sitting next to each other and they are reading a book.
54
I believe this is a geography book because of the globe that is standing next to the boys.
55
Judging by the fact that there are a lot of books and no toys in the picture,
56
I think the boys are at school.
57
It seems that they like it because they look quite happy.
58
I guess they are best friends and that's why they are sitting together.
59
It reminds me of my school friends and how we used to learn and play together.
60
In the picture I can see a couple,
61
a man and a woman.
62
They are in the foreground and in the background there are some trees.
63
There is also a really big tree on the left side of the picture.
64
They are in the park.
65
I think it's springtime because all the leaves are green,
66
the sky looks bright and they are wearing light jackets which are perfect for spring.
67
Based on the look on the woman's face, I think she's angry.
68
Even though she is in a beautiful park,
69
she's not smiling, she doesn't seem to enjoy it and I think she wants to go away.
70
It seems that the man is following her.
71
He is stretching his arms as if he wanted to say sorry.
72
I suppose they have been arguing,
73
maybe he has done something wrong and it made her furious.
74
I guess that whatever the man did it was rather serious because people don't normally argue in parks.
75
I hope that they will be able to talk about it
76
and that he will get the chance to make things right again.
77
Okay now let's practice what you've just learned.
78
Okay, that's it for today.
79
Thank you for watching.

Contesto & Background

Nel video "Come descrivere le immagini come un professionista", l'oratore condivide consigli utili per affrontare gli esami di conversazione in inglese. L'attenzione è rivolta alla descrizione di immagini, un aspetto comune nei test di lingua. L'oratore sottolinea l'importanza di non avere paura di chiedere chiarimenti se non si comprende qualcosa durante l'esame. Questo approccio aiuta a costruire la fiducia e a migliorare la capacità di comunicare in inglese.

Top 5 Frasi per la Comunicazione Quotidiana

  • Could you repeat? (Potresti ripetere?)
  • What do you mean? (Cosa intendi?)
  • I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. (Mi dispiace, non ho capito.)
  • What should I do? (Cosa dovrei fare?)
  • I'm really nervous. (Sono davvero nervoso.)

Queste frasi sono fondamentali per chi sta imparando l'inglese con YouTube e desidera migliorare la propria capacità di comunicazione nei momenti di maggiore stress o incertezze, come durante un esame.

Guida Passo-passo al Shadowing

Per affrontare la sfida di descrivere immagini, è utile seguire una guida di shadow speak. Ecco come procedere:

  • Analizza l'immagine: Prima di parlare, guarda attentamente tutti i dettagli. Se non conosci una parola, descrivi ciò che vedi.
  • Inizia con una panoramica: Usa frasi semplici come "In the picture I can see..." (Nell'immagine vedo...) per presentare gli elementi principali.
  • Usa il presente continuo: Per descrivere le azioni, puoi dire "They are standing" (Sono in piedi) o "They are smiling" (Stanno sorridendo).
  • Focalizzati sui dettagli: Descrivi gli oggetti e le azioni in maniera specifica. Ad esempio, "There is a plant in front of them" (C'è una pianta di fronte a loro).
  • Collega le emozioni e le impressioni: Concludi esprimendo la tua opinione sull'immagine, come nel video dove l'oratore riflette sui possibili sentimenti delle persone. Questo aiuta a rendere la tua descrizione più personale e coinvolgente.

Incorporando il shadowing in inglese nella tua routine di studio, puoi migliorare la pronuncia inglese e affinare la tua fluenza. Ricorda che la pratica costante è fondamentale per raggiungere una padronanza sicura della lingua.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
