London or Paris?
I am going to extend this and do projects on major European cities - but this may be useful as a picture-based discussion exercise. By the way - one of the pictures says it´s by Alpha Holiday lettings. I´ve contacted them 3 times for permission and they haven´t replied. Anyway, it´s not actually a copyright mark. Second btw - Paris wins hands-down!

Picture Description: Summer on the farm
A great picture for you! Thank you to the artist, Sandy Ruskino for her kind permission to use it. A little bit of reading, tick the nouns, do the T/F and choose the correct preposition. For more advanced students, just give them the picture and ask for 20 sentences.
