Taking photos for B2/Cambridge English First adjectives

Today I’m sharing an activity for Cambridge B2 First that I hope you can take away and use both as it is and also to adapt to work on other language at this and other levels.

So, here is an activity to work on a set of B2 adjectives.

It was inspired by a photo challenge I came across on Pinterest.

I selected some adjectives listed at B2 level on the English Vocabulary Profile.  The ones I chose can all be used to describe objects.

artificial     attached    bare    breakable    decorative    delicate    free (not used/occupied)

loose oval     rusty    shallow     sparkling (shiny)    transparent      vivid (colours)

My photo challenge is for students to ake a photo with their phones to illustrate the meaning of each of the adjectives on the list.

‘shallow’, for example, could be a puddle or a bowl, perhaps?

> An alternative to taking photos could be to do an image search for the word and see which pictures come up.

For example:  Which of the above adjectives did I search for and obtain these results?

If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you’ll know I love Pinterest.  This could be used to collect images to illustrate the meaning (and collocation) of adjectives like these.

I hope you’ll like and use my suggestions!  If you use them and would like to share the results, I’d be delighted!
