This is a tYpical exam('s) exercise,(ésto es una cosa de íngles, nada como así en español.) you have to TALK (speak) about a photo or picture that the teacher show(S) you, so you have to be confidenT(ce) describing WHAT you are seeing.
whereas (solo abogados dicen ésto)

Todavía, muy bien! :-)
No es staircase, es ladder.
(there is a big sun) Solo hay un sol, así que, el sol está(?) muy grande. The sun is (appears, looks) very big.
No es advertisement, es sign.
These things can be quite confusing especially when you are describing a picture. These prepositions can actually make or break your sentence construction. thanks for your tips. ":)
Thanks much about this great and useful information, I have ever seen before. I enjoyed it very much
This is a good idea, I think I will use it to teach my students about preposition.
Using pictures are great ways to encourage descriptive language, including being able to demonstrate spatial prepositions and adverbs.
Thank for posting your English language learning materials.
