In the Duolingo English Test, the “Speak about the Photo” question evaluates your English proficiency in describing and interpreting an image. During this task, you’ll view a picture for 20 seconds before the recording starts automatically. Then, you’ll have 0.5 to 1.5 minutes to speak about the photo. Remember, you only get one chance to record your answer.
Q1. Speak about the photo for about 90 seconds.
Ans. The image shows a beautiful garden with a large outdoor chess set. Historical buildings surround the area, reminiscent of the time when kings and queens played chess with large pieces. A man sits on a bench, watching the oversized chess pieces, possibly contemplating the next move and reminiscing about past times. The peaceful setting includes manicured hedges, statues, and a pathway leading to an arched entrance. The lush greenery and colourful flowers add to the tranquil atmosphere, creating a perfect place for relaxation and contemplation.
Q2. Speak about the photo for about 90 seconds.
Ans. The picture portrays a person standing inside public transport, possibly a bus or a train, facing away from the camera. The person has golden hair and appears to be holding a coffee while talking, perhaps to a fellow passenger or on the phone. The dimly lit interior contrasts with the darkness outside, suggesting it might be night. The neon green telephone, whose reflection is seen in a nearby mirror, adds a touch of modernity. The person might be a commuter heading home after a long day, using the quiet time to catch up with someone or reflect on their day.
