Thank you for your sentences Coco. You have described the scene perfectly.

Sentence 4 - The weight of the pumpkin is written on a piece of paper under each pumpkin. They are very heavy pumpkins! Don't forget pants are always plural. Remember - a pair (2) of pants. :)

Nice job!

There is a number of huge yellow Pumpkins. I think this is a competition because the weight and the placement is written below. Also the name and a discription  of this kind of Pumpkin is written on the letter below it. A little boy with a blue hut is standing in front of the Pumkins , he is eating a prezel . I don't know the correct English word , we call this kind of pastry prezel.

In Austria we eat a lot of Pumpkins. You can make a deisious soup or put it into noodles, roasted Pumpkin seeds are very delicious and the Pumpkin seed oil is"The Black Gold" in Austria. It is very expensive and not everyone likes it. It has a special flavour something like nuts and is is deep green nearly black. Styria ( a part in the east of Austria) has the most of Pumpkin fields and is well known for is Pumpkin seeds oil. 

Please can you correct my mistakes. Thanks a lot

Thanks Gertraud! You've described the photo very nicely.

There are a number of... We call the snack that the boy is eating a pretzel. It's very similar to the word you use!

I have never heard of the pumpkin seed oil, but I do enjoy eating roasted pumpkin seeds. What is this oil used for?

Styria has the most pumpkin fields...

Pumpkin soup can be delicious. All this talk of pumpkins is making want to eat some!

Thank you for your correction Teacher.

The oil is used for salad or you can to some oil ( just a teaspoon ) on your pumpkin soup.

It is not used for cooking.

Do you eat pumpkin in your country ?

That sounds nice Gertraud. Pumpkin is not really that popular in the UK. Pumpkin soup or pumpkin pie perhaps? I'm not sure what else!

Thank you Pueng! 

I see many... There are a lot of pumpkins! ...were decorated by... Can you see what detail is written about the pumpkins?

I think it's probably the Halloween festival. I think you are right! Many shops and markets love to sell pumpkins at this time of year. Will you celebrate Halloween this year?

You've described the photo very well. Nice job!
