10mins - Conversation: Speaking Part 2: Use the speaking part two help card to have students make observations about what they see in the images. Encourage students to listen to instructions, study the pictures, and read the questions. Tell students to think about what they're going to say, and imagine they are describing the picture to someone who can't see them. Students should discuss what's similar and different about each picture, and focus on what the people are doing/how they might be feeling. Students should give opinions that are supported with reasons and examples.
