Great sentences Penny!

In sentence number 2 we can say go swimming or just swim. A lot of people like to go swimming.

Umbrellas is plural - so we need to say There are blue umbrellas...  

Well done. Good job! :)

Well done Sudesh! 

I think this is your first post on Funky English. Great start! 

Takeing bath should be written as taking a bath. In this sentence may be (which means possibly) is just one word - maybe. It's (It is) sunny weather...

Thank you Sudesh!

I'm very happy you like this activity Coco! I'll make sure I add a new photo every week.

Thank you for your sentences. Very well written as always. :)

We'd normally call a swimming pool outside an outdoor or open air swimming pool. Number 4 should be written a 5 star hotel.

The building is actually the changing rooms, spa, massage and other swimming pools! This is a very famous old swimming bath and spa in Budapest.

Thanks Zahid. You've written some very nice sentences about the photograph!

Sentence number 2 should have something extra - for example - A lot of people are there to enjoy the day. We enjoy something. Remember when we have 2 we must pluralise the noun. Two big swimming pools.... The building does look like an antique. I like this sentence Zahid. :)

Nobody cares about anything, some sitting, some swimming, some getting ready and some standing. (Don't forget about your commas). Great sentence! Lots of information and you've described the scene in the photo very well.

Well done. I'll look forward to your new sentences next week!

It is very useful discussion.

1) The blue sky is embellished with some white clouds.

2) The depth of the semicircular pool seems not to be safe for children, therefore no child there.

3) It will be very wonderful to see the scene from the top of the building.

4) The sun is on the left because the shadows fall to the right.

5) If I was there, I would rent a float because I don't know swimming.

Please correct my sentences teacher, thank you very much.
