学英语 如何描述一张图片

英语课中，Jason老师经常会拿出一些图片给大家描述，口语课上、写作课上都会有这样的环节。图片可以引发大家思考，发挥想象力，是口语课和写作课上必备的工具。可是如何描述一张图片呢？很多同学说了一堆，信息是片面的也是凌乱的。今天Jason老师带大家一起描述一张图片。

你会如何描述这张图片呢？

想象下你想说什么，如果对方看不见这张图，你准备从哪里开始描述？如何让对方的脑海里浮现出同样的画面？

描述一张图片

第一步：你想要表达什么？不确定？没关系，利用

Who … ? Where … ? What … ? When … ? Why … ? Which … ? How … ?来设定几个问题

这些问题的答案会提供给你思路

QuestionAnswer

Who are the people in the picture?… a girl / a waiter

Where are they?… outside dining /in a restaurant/ Beijing, China

What are they doing?… She is sitting at a table. She is smiling. The waiter is clearing dishes.

When was the picture taken?… on a warm day , April (she is wearing summer clothes)

Why …is she in this restaurant?… on holiday.

How …would you describe the girl/the waiter?would you describe the setting (location)?… She: beautiful/stunning, gorgeous, young, relaxed, in her 20’s… He: smartly-dressed… lovely, delightful, pleasant, quaint, charming

这些问题中有一些很重要，他们可以帮助我们确定足够的信息。

第二步：写出一些句子

The picture is of a stunning girl in her twenties and a smartly-dressed waiter.

They are in a delightful restaurant.

The restaurant is in Beijing, China.

She is smiling at the camera.

He is clearing dishes.

It is a warm day. She is on holiday.

第三步：做些改进。把图片中的信息和句子连接起来。如果所有的句子都是简单句，行文就像小孩子一样，但是不是一定要把所有的句子都连接起来。有时，简单句更直接，更完美。你需要让读者理解你的句子。你的行文应该是简单句和复杂句并存的。你可以使用并列连词和（或者）从属连词来把句子连接起来。至少有一种连接方式吧？大家可以参考之前Jason老师的文章《学英语 如何写好一个句子》

The picture is of a stunning girl in her twentieswhois in a charming restaurant (whichis) in Beijing, China.

It’s a warm Spring dayandshe is on holiday.

Whilea smartly-dressed waiter clears the table, she smiles sweetly at the camera.

或者:

In the picture, a gorgeous girl in her twenties is dining in a quaint restaurant in Beijing, China.

这是一个简单句，只有一个主语和一个动词。

She is on holiday, it’s a warm day in April,andshe is smiling happily at the camerawhilea smartly-dressed waiter clears the table.

第四步：形成段落

Example #1

The picture is of a stunning girl in her twentieswhois in a charming restaurant in Beijing, China. It’s a warm Spring dayandshe is on holiday.Whilea smartly-dressed waiter clears the table, she smiles sweetly at the camera.

Example #2

In the picture, a gorgeous girl in her twenties is dining at a quaint restaurant in Beijing, China. She is on holiday, it’s a warm Spring day,andshe is smiling happily at the camerawhilea smartly-dressed waiter clears the table.

现在该你了，参考这4步描述一张图片，Jason老师经常让学生描述的图片，你可以从中选择一张或者全部练一遍。用上面的流程，祝写作愉快！
