Sample answer
Hi Josie,
Thanks for your email. It sounds like you had a very busy
weekend! I had a really good weekend, too.
On Saturday morning I went into town with Mum and we did
the weekly shopping. Mum got back from work late on Friday
and was really tired, so I thought I would help her with the
shopping. It was a bit boring, but we went for a coffee at that
new café in town afterwards.
In the afternoon, I met Sandie and Jim and we went iceskating. It was such good fun! I fell over a few times,, but I am
getting better. I really like ice-skating.
In the evening, I went to Mari’s house and we watched a film
on TV. We ordered a pizza and we ate it while we were
watching the film.
On Sunday, I saw my older brother Mick and we took the dogs
for a walk. It had been raining and the dogs got very dirty. So
after the walk we had to give them a wash.
It was great!
Best wishes,
Patrick

Sample answer
In the photo on the left we can see a group of friends who are
having a fun time. They are playing touch rugby. Perhaps
they’re friends from school because they all look the same
age. They’re wearing light clothes so perhaps it’s summer.
There are trees in the background and they are playing on
grass, so they could be in a park. I love sports, so this is the
activity I prefer.
They look very happy and they look like they are having a fun
time together.
In this photo on the right we can see a group of people.
Perhaps they’re friends or perhaps they’re flatmates. It might
be a Sunday because they’re all relaxing together. It looks like
they're in the living room of their home. It's probably summer
because they're wearing light clothes and there are glasses of
juice on the table.
The man on the left and the girl on the right are texting on their
phones. The other girl is doing something on a tablet and the
other man is using a laptop.
