Task 4. Look at the picture and describe it.
Model answer:
This is a picture of a lake in the Canadian Rocky
Mountains. In this picture, the sky is clear and the sun is
shining. There
are several mountains in the
background. There is some ice on the mountains, but there are
no trees. There is a small glacier in the background, on the
left. There is a lot of ice at the foot of the mountains on the
right. At the foot of the mountains, the soil is bare and the
slopes are steep.
In the foreground, there is a lake. The lake reflects the
mountains, like a big mirror. You can see the reflection of the
mountains in the lake. The water is clear and very still. There
is no wind.
Beside the lake is a small forest of fir trees. You can see it
in the foreground, on the right. There are also a few fir
trees in the background, on the left, at the foot of the
mountains.
