February Week Three

This week we talked about one of my personal passions: cameras and photography! We took a look at some different styles of cameras and described different photographs.

Listening:
Learners can try listening to an article about how more people die from selfies than shark attacks, or an article describing different photographs from the past.

If you ever have to do an oral exam in which you have to describe a picture, you'll want to check out some tips at this website.

For original version, you could try watching some TED talks about photography or explore some of the short videos over at the Cooperative of Creative Photography Youtube Channel.

Reading:
Learners may want to review some photograph vocabulary and then try reading an article from VOA about some possible problems that can arise with selfies.

For original version, try doing some reading over at the online photography magazine LensCulture.

Writing:
Start by checking out the Guardian's website, Best Photographs of the Day. Choose one picture to use at as the basis of your writing. 

You can describe the photograph (make sure to use descriptive adjectives, adverbs, precise nouns and prepositions), or you could write a story based on the photograph.
Best,
Kelly
