When it comes to PTE Describe Image, we often hear students say that pictures that do not contain many keywords are difficult to describe. Yes it can be challenging; however, we’re here to help!
If you want to find out more about other pictures, you can refer to our previous articles.
Stick to this principle: Keywords can be anything that you see on the picture.

Keywords for your information:
- This picture is about a boat and lock chamber.
- We can also see valves and gates.
- Firstly, the ship is going downstream and the lock chamber is filled with water.
- Secondly, the first gate and valve opens and the boat goes in. The water level reduces.
- Thirdly, the second gate and valve opens and the boat moves out on a lower water level.

Keywords for your information:
- On the left-hand side: The national flag of United Arab Emirates
- On the right-hand side: The national flag of Jordan
- Some similarities:
The same colours – red, green, white and black - Some differences:
Shapes are different – the red part is rectangular; the other one is triangular
The order is different – green on the top while the other one is on the bottom - A little star on the national flag of Jordan

Keywords for your information:
- This is a lecture hall
- There are 6 rows of red chairs with 7 chairs in each row
- 3 windows on the right-hand side and other 3 windows on the left-hand side
- A stage in the front
- A lectern or a desk on the stage
- A white board and a projector
