When you describe a picture with people in it, you sometimes need words to say where the people are.

Describe a picture

In this lesson, students use their drawing and speaking skills to practise the present continuous form. Drawing adds fun to the activity and may allow less confident students to excel, especially if they are talented artists. An optional writing activity at the end helps consolidate learning.
