Describe a picture


For the next challenge, find a picture and write a paragraph about it.

Here is my example:

Who lives here?

Who built their home here? It seems a strange place to build a home. Maybe the first person came and then persuaded his friends to come here. But why live here? And how did she / he persuade his friend to live here?

Maybe there was a field in front of the house when they built their home and then one day the ground fell away somewhere. But how does ground just fall away somewhere; it must go somewhere.

Maybe they like to throw their rubbish outside instead of putting it in a rubbish bin. They thought they could live by a big hole and just throw their rubbish out of the window. But I think the smell would rise up to their windows.

It could be that this is a resort for mountain climbers. They can wake up in the morning, throw a rope out of the window, abseil down the rope and then climb back up the rock face.

Another possibility is that these people live on an island and the island became more and more crowded. They had to find new space to build on and decided they could build right next to the cliff. But it would make more sense to build taller buildings inland.

Perhaps there is a beautiful view from this cliff, so beautiful that the people want to live right on the cliff. But you would think they could still see the view if their homes were a bit further back!

Any ideas?
