well, the second part In this video, we will see places. Why are these important?
Why are these important? Because this will help you to tell your interviewer
where are located the things or people that appear in the picture
We already know locations: up
, down, left, right, front, back in, out, inside, outside, next to, near, beside, behind, around,
under, over, in the middle, in the center, etc
You must study and understand these locations
and you will describe the picture easily
this thing is importante because
the person that listen you
the person, your interviewer will focus in what you are saying.
This is basic. If you don't know location, you are in time for learning about them
Now, after I explain,
we will make some exercises so you can understand.
how to use them in the picture test.
And now we are back with our "DELE" special for level A2 segment 2: describing the place and location prepositions.
The most important locations you have to learn are: Next to (Al lado de),
Around or Surrounding (Alrededor), , Near (Cerca de or Junto a), Under (Debajo de), In front of (Delante de), Inside of (Dentro de), In (En), Behind (Detrás de)
On: (Sobre o Encima), Over:(Por encima de). Practice 1: We will have 2 points of reference
First: the tree on the right side of the screen.
There is a blonde girl playing with other kids next to the tree. There's a swing near the tree with 2 kids on it
There are leaves under the tree. Behind the tree there's a blonde girl
girl with glasses and far away there is the bus, next to the tree there's a house
Second: the sand box
the sand box, next to it there are people and a house. Near we see a chair
In front of the sand box we can see children playing with leaves. Inside of the sand box there are a blue pail full of sand
and a red shovel. Far from the sand box there is a swing set.
Far from: (Lejos de), Around or Close to (Junto a), In front of: (Frente a)
Out of: (Fuera de), to Inside of (Dentro de). Between (Entre / En medio de), Close (Próximo a).
Practice 2: We see a blue coat.
We are going to use the place prepositions
we have seen and studied until now
Next to the blue coat we can find lots of things like umbrellas or
clothes hangers or hooks. near the coat there's many things.
near the coat there's a door. Under the coat there's a scarf, a purse, a kid's jacket and some shoes
On the coat there's a black hat
Far behind the coat there's a cat on top of the stair
Near the coat we can see hangers: one is red, one is green
Near the blue coat we can see the people
Let's see it from a different point of view
Let's see it from a different point of view, the dog
the brown dog with a ball in its mouth. Around the dog there
the carpet and to near are the children
Around the dog there are shoes, some umbrellas, people, the door, the deposit, the stair and the cat
On the floor near the dog there's a pink bunny and a rug
near to dog is the carpet in the floor
The kids are near the dog
The kids are near the dog and next to the dog there's the vacuum cleaner. In front of the dog there are the children
In front of the dog and on the floor there is the pink bunny
Behind the dog there are the stairs,
Behind the dog is the cat
next to the dog is the carpet
next to the dog is the door
In front of the door there's a white door
Close to the dog we can see there are umbrellas
When describing a picture
you need to set the locations (Upper side, lower side...
right
left, in the middle.
, at the back
This will help you
t the test to identify every object and to talk about them
An example
Here is a Doctor's office
We can see: white ceiling, round and white lights
walls and floors are white
There are some gray chairs and and one is blue wall.
on the right margin we have
a white wall, some gray chairs
a bearded man sitting in one of the chairs.
On the left side of the photo there is a blue wall
In the back of the picture there is a yellow wall (maybe cream, maybe beige).
There's a sign on the wall that says Reception
Desk and there's a low woman, white with dark hair, looking at us
In the middle of the picture we can see more people, more chairs
This way we can separate the picture in pieces so we can describe it easier.
Practice: We need locations, positions and vocabulary
This picture was taken in a restaurant.
Time: Day
People: none
There are White, red, and gloomy chairs
There we can see: a white ceiling with a big round lamp
On the right side we can see the chairs and the bar
On the left we see a brick wall and a grey wall divider.
In the lower part we can see floor, red chairs.
In the back there is a closet
a door with drapes
an orange wall. In the center of the picture there is a bar with black
the base in the bar is colour orange and the white an brown chairs
Let's take another point of reference:
A Flower Vase. Where is it? At the right side of the picture
near the bar and the white chairs
the black vase has green leaves a
and a large red flower
the vase is in the corner
on the right side of the photo
near the bar and the white chairs
far from the orange wall,
under a shelf, far from the closet and next to other objects
It is far from the closet and next to the objects of the bar.
Let's summarize In segment 1 we saw Time, (Seasons, Weather) and Space (location)
and Why. Now we add the description of the place.
Practice: In the picture we see a restaurant Why can we tell it is a restaurant?
Well, there are tables, plates, wineglasses, cutlery, there's a waiter (or waitress), the menu
lots of things we usually find in a restaurant
Time: plain daylight
Season: spring or summer
How do we know that? because the people are wearing light clothes
How is the place? Description
What do we see in the restaurant? On the right we see pots, pans,
on the right side there are many chairs and an inn
in the center of the photo there, two people talking: the waiter and a woman (she's the costumer
In the lower part of the picture
we see 3 wine glasses, plates, napkins, cutlery, a dark tablecloth (black, green or gray, it depends on your point of view)
In the left side
we can see more glasses on more tables
In the back we see a dark door (maybe the bathroom?)
and at the top there are many details how lamps and objects hanging
if we choose something from the picture we can describe things surrounding it
For example: I choose the girl
So, we can see: the lady behind her, some tables and chairs.
kitchen appliances
in front
a glass,
next to it would be the menu menu taken by the waiter. under shee is the chair
far away from her there's the dark door to the bathroom.
Bye Bye, we'll meet again for the third segment "Describing people"
