Imagine that you are doing a project "The art of tackling problems" together with your friend. You have found some illustrations and want to share the news. Leave a voice message to your friend. In 2.5 minutes be ready to tell the friend about the photos:
• give a brief description of the photos, justifying the choice of the photos for the project;
• say in what way the pictures are different, justifying the choice of the photos for the project;
• mention the advantages and disadvantages (1–2) of problem solving in school and at work;
• express your opinion on the subject of the project — whether you perform better in an educational environment or a professional one.
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (2–3 sentences for every item of the plan, 12–15 sentences total). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know that? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "The art of tackling problems". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people taking up the challenge. In the first photo there is a class of children presented with a school problem. They are not really focused on it. In the second photo, there are two people trying to solve an engineering problem. They seem to be progressing steadily.
There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, the first picture features a group of kids, while the second one features two adults. Moreover, the adults are much more concentrated on the problem than the children are.
In my opinion, completing schoolwork and working for an employer have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, completing their school homework helps schoolchildren be well-educated, but they can feel in vain as no clear reward is given for doing it. Working in an office, for example, is much more profitable; however, it usually doesn't lead to personal development.
I believe that I would perform better in a professional environment as there would be more proficient people that could work with me, as well as a much clearer goal ahead.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
