Hi, Teacher Luke here! 👋

On the Duolingo English Test, you need to speak about a photo for 90 seconds!

That’s a long time to describe an image without pauses or hesitation—and many of my students can only speak for 30 seconds at first. That means a lower score.

But once they learn my system for describing a photo, they can easily speak for the full 90 seconds in a fluent, logical way—boosting their speaking score!

That’s why having a structured approach is so important.

In today’s DET Ready VIP lesson, I’m teaching a proven system to help you.

For VIP Members:
