You get one colour photograph and talk about it on your own for about a minute. Describe the people, the place and what's happening, so that someone who can't see it could picture it.
The photos show everyday scenes, like studying, shopping or doing sport. Nobody asks you questions while you speak, and the examiner stops you when the time is up, so keep talking.
Start with one sentence that sums up the photo: 'This photo shows some young people studying in a library.' Then move into the details. It gives your description a clear shape and helps the listener follow.
Move around the photo in a fixed order: the people, what they're doing and wearing, then the place and the background. Phrases like on the left, in the middle and behind them keep you organised.
Describe actions with the present continuous: she's writing, they're waiting for a bus. Use there is and there are for things you can see, and is wearing or has got for people.
Don't stop at what's visible. Say how the people might be feeling or what might happen next: 'They look a bit tired, so maybe they've been studying all morning.' It fills the minute and shows more language.
If you don't know a word, don't freeze. Describe it instead: 'It's a kind of box you carry your lunch in.' Examiners reward this skill, and a simple explanation is always better than silence.
A minute is longer than it feels. If you run out of ideas, go back and add detail: colours, the weather, the time of day, what people are holding. Keep going until the examiner stops you.
