Students learn how to formulate a short picture description within the context of sports. It is assumed that they already have some familiarity with present continuous and there is/are. The lesson supports vocabulary development, including sports collocations with go/play/do, and listening and speaking skills, and has some relevance to Cambridge speaking exams. An optional activity related to the places where people do various sports activities is also included (by Stephanie Hirschman).

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Picture 1 – going skiing: There are two people in this picture. They are skiing in the mountains, and there is a lot of snow on the ground. They are skiing together, so maybe they are a couple. The sun is shining, and they are probably very happy on this beautiful day.
Picture 2 – playing tennis: There are two players in this picture. They are playing outside, and the woman in blue is running to hit the ball. They are probably practicing because there is a basket of balls in the middle. Maybe they are friends, and they play every weekend.
Picture 3 – doing karate: There is a karate class in this picture. The teacher is watching two boys. The boy on the left has an orange belt so maybe he’s a higher level. They are probably training for a competition. There are also two girls in the class.
