In this English class we practice using phrases for analyzing pictures taken in 2026, from this BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250905-the-most-striking-images-of-2025

The phrases wee practiced were:

It captures…

The photographer manages to highlight…

What stands out is…

You can clearly see…

It looks as though…

It might have been taken…

Judging by the lighting…

I get the impression that…

The timing is spot-on

Then at the end we have a Q&A. The conversation covers various themes, including human interaction with technology, activism and symbolism in art, the impact of striking images, improving English speaking skills, balancing language consumption and production, language learning and pronunciation, and managing anxiety in language learning.
