TOEIC PRACTICE TEST : USING THE PICTURES EXERCISE

The photos can be used to help students develop their vocabulary. There are over 140 photographsin this text. have the students pick a photograph and , in pairs or samll groups, name everything they can see in the picture.
Then, in the same small group have them use those words in a sentence. They can write a short description of the photography or, even better, they can write a short narrative. The narrative can be extremelly imaginative-the more imaginative the better . Have the students describe what happened before the picture was taken and what might happen afterwards.
Once students have the vocabulary under control, they can make an oral presentation. The other students or groups will then have to retell the narrative. This will help them evaluate their own listening comprehension.
