Tips for Oral reading and Picture description

This video teaches you how to describe a picture. Apart from describing what is in the picture, it is also very important that you relate the picture to your personal experiences and share what would you do if you were in the picture or if you were the character. It is also useful to make inferences and to draw conclusions on how the characters in the picture feel.
