Skills: clarity, organization, vocabulary range

What to Include

  • Overall scene (location and purpose).
  • Key people and actions (use present continuous).

  • Optional closing detail (mood, weather, or a summary sentence).

Sample Structure

1) There is a group of coworkers in a modern office.

2) A woman is presenting at the front while others are taking notes.

3) A projector is on the table, and a chart is visible on the screen.

Sample from TOEIC Practice

Prompt image: A busy outdoor market with shoppers and produce stands.

Sample answer: This picture shows a busy outdoor market where several people are shopping for fresh produce. On the left, an older woman is holding some items, while next to her, a man in a t-shirt and shorts is looking at the fruits. In front of him, a woman with a handbag is also checking the produce while holding a child's hand. On the right, part of another person is visible, suggesting the place is crowded. Behind them, bananas are hanging, and a weighing scale can be seen. The stall is filled with fruits and vegetables under a shaded awning, creating a lively, everyday market scene.

Quick Tips

  1. Don’t list details randomly—move from overall scene to specifics.
  2. Use action verbs: “is typing,” “are discussing,” “is pointing.”
  3. If unsure, describe what you see, not what you guess.
