Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project "Shopping". 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:
— explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;
— mention the advantages (1–2) of the two types of shopping;
— mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two types of shopping;
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — which way of shopping you prefer and why.
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know that? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "Shopping". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because they both show people doing shopping. In the first photo there is a family: a man, a woman and a child, they seem to be shopping in a supermarket. In the second photo there is a woman, who is pretty young, sitting in front of her laptop and, apparently, shopping online. Obviously, both of these pictures feature people in the process of shopping. But there are some differences to illustrate our project better. For instance, in the first picture the family is enjoying the process of buying necessities in the supermarket while the woman in the second picture likes doing the shopping quickly.
In my opinion, the two ways of shopping have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, online shopping is really comfortable, it saves a lot of time. However, the purchase can be damaged by delivery service so that people have to spend time on receiving a refund and purchasing another item. At the same time, going shopping to the supermarket can give people the opportunity to choose what they really need. But it may be exhausting to spend hours there.
As for me, I prefer to do shopping online. It saves my time, energy and nerves. There are simply far fewer distractions that I would face in a big shopping centre, which is the reason I don’t like to go shopping there.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
