Surviving Picture Description in Speaking Exams

This worksheet is designed for A2–B1 level students preparing for speaking exams such as the Czech Maturita or Cambridge PET. It focuses on developing the skills needed to describe and compare two pictures in English.

The worksheet begins with a 700-word informative reading text. The text explains how to approach picture description tasks, how to structure an answer, which language phrases to use, and how to speak confidently even when vocabulary is limited. The reading also includes strategies for speculation and tips on using filler phrases.

After reading, students complete several comprehension and vocabulary activities. These include vocabulary matching, a gap fill, true or false questions, multiple choice, and short answer questions. There is also a warm-up discussion at the beginning of the lesson to help students reflect on their own speaking challenges.

This resource is ideal for use in exam preparation classes or as part of a speaking-focused lesson. It helps students develop fluency, structure, and confidence when dealing with picture-based tasks in speaking exams.
