Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:
• give a brief description of the photos (action, location);
• say what the pictures have in common;
• say in what way the pictures are different;
• say which way of spending free time presented in the pictures you prefer;
• explain why
You will speak for not more than 2 minutes (12−15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Высказывание должно быть логично; содержать вступительную и заключительную фразы, соответствующие теме. Средства логической связи должны быть использованы верно. Необходимо избегать необоснованных пауз в речи, верно расставлять ударения, правильно использовать интонацию, не нарушать нормы произношения слов.
I’d like to compare and contrast these two pictures.
In picture one we can see two men riding their bikes in picturesque surroundings. In picture two we see a lady lying on the sofa looking into the monitor of her laptop.
In both pictures we can see people having a good time,
However, there is a significant difference between the pictures. While in picture one the men prefer outdoor activities and active sports, the lady in picture 2 chooses to stay inside and spend her free time in front of her gadget.
As for me, if I had a day off, I’d rather spend it outdoors, preferably in the countryside enjoying the nature (provided the weather is fine). I believe that nowadays we spend too much time in front of computer screens and we should use any opportunity that we get in order to spend more time away from the gadgets and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
