Describing places
Describing places to people – a building, a town, a village, scenery or countryside
– you may have to answer some of the questions:
Where is it? What’s pleasant or unpleasant about it?
What does it look like? How old is it?
What’s interesting or remarkable about it? What is it surrounded by?
a. People talking
– Where shall we meet?
– It’s a little tea place called Neal’s Yard.
– How do I get to the place?
– Walk straight up Neal Street, then ... third on the left. The street opens up into a very
pretty yard. It’s a lovely place because it’s all wood panelling and so on...
b. Decide how you would answer these questions to talk about:
– the building you are in now,
– the town/village you live in,
– the countryside near the town/village you live in.
c. Home Sweet Home. Get into groups of three or four. Choose one of
the areas and talk about it.
d. Describe one of the most important landmarks in your home town or
countryside. What sights will you show to your guest? Why?
I won’t leave my small town so as not to make
it smaller.
