Task 4. Imagine that you are doing a project "Preparing for exams" 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:
— 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 the two types of preparing for exams;
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — whether you prefer preparing for exams alone or in somebody’s company and why.
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 "Preparing for exams". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
They are relevant to our project because in both pictures we can see students preparing for their exams. In the first photo there is a girl doing some tasks in her room. While in the second photo there is a group of students sitting around the table in the library and reading books.
There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. For example, the first picture depicts an individual work, the girl is preparing for exams alone, maybe she is attending some online courses, whereas the second picture shows a group work, four students prepare for exams together.
In my opinion, both types of preparing for exams have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, a student working alone can concentrate on studying better than working in a group where everybody is chatting. At the same time, an individual work can not enable students to ask for help if a problem seems to be too difficult.
Personally, I prefer preparing for exams in my friends’ company. We can analyze, discuss and solve problems together. It helps me very much.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
