• It’s a pity! — Жаль!

I live in a flat. It is neither big nor small. It is on the fifth floor. Our flat has two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall.

Our living room is big. It is light because it has a large window. To the left of the window there is a piano. To the right of the window there is an old wardrobe. In the middle of the room there is a big round table. We often gather together at this table and play table games. On the walls there are beautiful paintings of modern artists.

I have my own room. It is small. It hasn’t got much furniture but it is very cosy. It is a pity that there is no balcony in my room.

Our kitchen is big and comfortable. We have a big fridge and a microwave oven. We usually have breakfast and supper in the kitchen.

I like my flat.

Для написания статьи использованы разработки к различным учебникам,  а также пособие Т.Ю. Журина «Английский язык. 55 устных тем по английскому языку для школьников 5-11 класс» (частично переработанное и дополненное)

Сразу хочу оговориться, что в этой статье я НЕ рассказываю о подготовке к устной части ЕГЭ. Если вас интересует, как описать фотографию в задании C3, то читайте об этом в статье ЕГЭ устная часть. Задание С3 Описание фотографии (картинки).  А в данной статье я расскажу как описать фотографию ПОДРОБНО и ДЕТАЛЬНО.  Так что, дорогой читатель, it is up to you: to read or not to read.

Описание фотографии на английском языке (пример)

Итак, начнем. В принципе, ничего такого уж сложного и не требуется, если вы хотите описать фотографию, ведь это сделать намного проще, чем картину. И если вы уже умеете описывать картины на английском языке, то для вас не составит труда и описать фотографию (картинку). Давайте вместе опишем, к примеру, вот это фото, сделанное мною в курортном английском городке Брайтоне.

Для этого воспользуемся стандартным способом описания, то есть начнем с общего плана и постепенно будем переходить к частному, а именно, к деталям. Кстати, в конце, обязательно, надо сказать несколько слов о теме фотографии и о своем отношении к данной теме.

Рассмотрим каждый пункт подробно:

Описание фотографии на английском языке (пример с картинкой)

Вводная фраза: Well, I would like to start with a general description.

Что изображено: This photo (picture) shows a seaside resort (морской курорт) in summer. The weather is hot that’s why the beach is full of people.

Детали: There are no clouds in the sky and it looks light blue. Аs for the sea, it is a bit rough, I can see the waves, so the light wind is probably blowing.

In the foreground just a bit to the right there is a big merry-go-round. I can guess that a lot of children are riding horses there. They may be laughing, shouting, in other words, they are having fun.

Another kind of attraction is situated to the left of the first one. It looks smaller and at first sight you can suppose that it is a merry-go-round, too. But if you look closer, you can see that it might be a kiosk with some food or souvenirs because people are standing around probably looking for something to buy.

The beach is very crowded. The people are lying on the sand and swimming in the sea.

Не забудьте о заднем фоне: In the background I can make out the outline of a white pier (пирс) which stands out against the blue sky.

Заключение: As for me, I enjoyed a lot describing this cheerful picture. This sunny beach makes me feel optimistic because in a few weeks I hope I will be enjoying swimming in the sea, too.

Я надеюсь, описание понятно и не надо его переводить. Но обратите внимание на слова, выделенные синим и фиолетовым цветом:

1. причинно- следственные союзы придают вашему описанию логичность.
2. вводные слова придают вашей речи связность и естественность.
