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

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