Descriptive Speech

Descriptive speech can be elicited by showing a picture, a graph or a movie to the speaker and asking for a description of the shown items. Descriptive speech is more spontaneous than read, command or answering speech, but can be kept easily within a certain subject thus restricting the vocabulary.
