Teacher's Example Response (A2)
I can see a lot of people in the park today. They are having fun. There are many trees, so there is some shade. The basketball players don't have much space because the park is busy. I see some men running with a football in the foreground. I cannot see any animals, like dogs or birds.

This weekend, I want to do some swimming and cycling. For swimming, I need my goggles and a lot of energy. I have some goggles, but I need to buy some sunscreen. I don't have any bicycle, so I must borrow one from a friend. I plan to spend many hours cycling, maybe four on Saturday! I will not spend much time swimming, only about one hour on Sunday.
