Here is a sample 'describe an image' answer for the speaking task on the Duolingo English Test:
"This image shows a man and a woman sitting next to each other on a bench in a park and they
look upset about something. There is a tall white building that looks like a church, which is in the
background in the top right-hand corner. There are some people waiting outside that building. In
front of that building, there is a narrow path, which leads to another building on the left. That
building is under construction. There is also a small park in front of the white building, which
has several trees and lots of autumn leaves covering the grass. The two young adults are sitting
on a brown bench in the foreground of this image. The two people both look irritated and they’re
not talking to each other. The man is holding his forehead with both hands and staring down at
the pavement, while the woman has her head in her right hand and looking in the opposite
direction to the man. They might have just broken up with each other because their body
language looks extremely tense."
