Hi Pelawat,

If you got a cue card about an aquatic animal that you find interesting, would you know what to say?

The cue card is,

Describe an aquatic animal that you find interesting. You should say

- What animal it is

- What it looks like

- When and where you saw it

- And explain why you found it interesting.

Watch the video below to find out how you might describe an aquatic animal:

How to describe an aquatic animal that you find interesting

OK, that was my animal. What would you choose to talk about? Where does it live? What does it look like? What are some interesting facts about it?

Did you find this video helpful? Put a like to let me know 😉
