I thought that this exercise was very helpful for the future. I enjoyed the activity where we had to explain a picture to our partner and they had to draw it from what we said. It showed how you have to really describe something in a way that your partner would understand so that it could be drawn. Some people found it slightly frustrating when their partners did not understand what they were supposed to draw. My partner told me what to draw first so I understood what sort of language he understood. With this information I knew what sort of description he would be most accustomed to so that it would be more enjoyable for us both.
