กลยุทธ์ในการตอบคำถาม
เริ่มต้นอย่างมั่นคงด้วยประโยคเริ่มต้นที่มีประสิทธิภาพ
The beginning of your response is crucial. To avoid hesitation, prepare a set of introductory phrases that can be applied to any image. For example, you might say, "This picture captures..." or "In this scene, one can observe...". Starting with these phrases helps you set the tone and smoothly transition into your detailed description.
Example: "This image captures a serene park where people are enjoying a sunny afternoon."
เพิ่มพูนคำอธิบายของคุณด้วยคำคุณศัพท์และคำวิเศษณ์
To make your descriptions stand out, enrich them with adjectives and adverbs. Instead of saying "This is a building," say "This is an impressive, tall building with intricate architectural details." Adjectives add color to your description, while adverbs can provide additional context to actions.
Example: "This is a picturesque coastal town with brightly colored houses lining the shore."
ให้ข้อมูลรายละเอียด ไม่ใช่แค่ป้ายกำกับ
Simply listing objects in the image will not earn you a high score. Instead, provide a detailed description that conveys the essence of the scene. For instance, rather than saying "There are cars on the street," you could say, "A line of sleek cars is parked along a bustling city street, with pedestrians hurrying by."
Example: "A group of children is playing soccer on a grassy field, with trees swaying gently in the background."
บรรยายตำแหน่งของวัตถุในฉากอย่างถูกต้อง
Describing where things are located in the image adds clarity and depth to your answer. Use specific prepositions and phrases like "in the background," "to the left," or "near the center" to give a clear sense of placement. This technique helps to create a well-rounded, structured response.
Example: "In the foreground, a cyclist is riding down a cobblestone path, while in the background, a historic church stands tall under a clear blue sky."
มุ่งเน้นที่การกระทำและการเคลื่อนไหวเพื่อนำภาพมาสู่ชีวิต
When describing an image, emphasizing the actions taking place helps to create a dynamic and engaging narrative. Use the present continuous tense to describe ongoing activities, such as "The man is reading a book under a tree," or if no action is visible, use the present simple tense with descriptive language, like "The mountain towers majestically over the valley."
Example: "A woman is carefully arranging flowers in a vase on the table, while her friend watches with a smile."
