Pet pictures: Making guesses

 When you are describing a picture, describe everything in it, 'I can see...there is/there are...' but make some guesses too, using words like:

could            might           perhaps         maybe       probably 

For example:

 

'In this picture I can see a young woman or a girl of about eighteen. She is slim and has short red hair. I can't see what she looks like bcasue she has her back to us. She's wearing a black swimming costume. She is swimming in the ocean, in front of a huge whale. It is so large that it fills most of the picture.There is also a shoal of fish swimming aound the whale and below it. We can clearly see the woman's reflection in the whale's eye. We can also see its large teeth.

(And now for the guesses....)

'She is probably absolutely terrified as she looks into the whale's eye. 

She might be thinking that she is going to be the whale's next meal, although whales don't eat meat so she doesn't need to worry!

The whale could be hostile; angry with the girl for swimming into her territory.

But maybe the whale is actually friendly and is wanting to help the girl. 

Or perhaps the girl wishes to help the whale in some way.'

Now it's your turn. Check any vocabulary you don't know in a dictionary before you start. Then describe what you can see in the following pictures and make lots of guesses using:

could            might           perhaps         maybe       probably 

Have fun!
