Speaking· Task 3 of 7 types

Describe Image

Study the chart, then describe it aloud. You get twenty-five seconds to look, then forty to speak. Say what it shows, name the biggest and smallest figures, the main trend or contrast, and finish with a conclusion. You are scored on the points you cover and the pace you keep; the result says whether pronunciation was scored too.

Tips for Describe Image

  • Open with what the image is: its kind, its subject and what it measures.
  • Name the highest, the lowest and the trend. Content is a checklist of what the image shows, and a point counts only when you say it.
  • A plain word now beats the perfect word after a pause — fluency is measured from your pauses and false starts.
  • Use the study time to choose your four sentences, not to read every label.
