Sample: Two boys are playing basketball. A boy is playing volleyball. A girl is playing baseball. She is hitting the ball with a bat. A girl is doing karate. A boy is playing tennis. He isn't playing table tennis.
Things in the picture: basketball (two boys, left), volleyball (two boys at the net), baseball (a girl hitting the ball with a bat), karate (a girl in white), tennis (a boy falling with his racket, and a small boy at the back). Accept he's / she's / they're, a/the/two, and small spelling mistakes if the meaning is clear. Three different sentences are needed: the same sentence twice earns 1 mark. No mark if is/are is missing (e.g. 'A boy playing tennis'), if is/are does not match (e.g. 'Two boys is playing'), or if the sentence does not match the picture.
