Summary Sentence:

In the picture I can see a woman and a man surrounded by cats. The two people must be a couple since they are lying in bed next to each other.

Interpretation:

The caption below the picture reads “Here's a new cure for my cat allergies. Divorce.” In my view, it's the husband who is saying it, since he's the one who looks uneasy about the situation. At this point the couple may have had countless arguments over the woman's cats, but she may have ignored her husband's complaints about the cats. That's why the husband may feel resigned because of his wife's stubbornness. Eventually, the husband announces that he wants a divorce, because he can't take it anymore. Again, the woman seems to completely ignore him and his threat. She might feel confident that her husband is just bluffing. But who knows, maybe this time he will stand up for himself.

Task: Circle the correct choices.

SOLUTION

Here's a few ideas about how to structure your picture description:

  1. Summary Sentence
    Say in 1 or 2 sentences what the picture depicts. Say it in a way that even a blind man can imagine the scene. Start like this: ”The picture depicts ...”
    ”In the picture I can see ...”
    ”In the picture there
    are ...”

  1. More Details
    Now is the time to describe the picture in more detail. Talk about where each cat is, and what it is doing. You may make guesses about what they're about to do next, e.g.
    There is a cat on the right hiding behind the bed, looking at the husband. It may have been thrown off by the husband a while ago, and now it's thinking of jumping back on again.

  1. Interpretation

Interpret the scene. Go beyond what you can actually see, and decide what is really happening.
