Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project "Keeping young". 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 ways of keeping young for the elderly people;
— mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two ways of keeping young for the elderly people;
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — which way of keeping young you’d prefer and why?
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know what? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "Keeping young". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because there are elderly people. In the first photo there is an old lady sitting in front of a laptop and taping. She looks very focused. In the second picture there is an old lady as well, she is playing tennis. The weather is fine and she is having a good time outside. There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, these two pictures show two different ways of keeping young for the elderly people. Although, in both of them people are developing their abilities, the old lady on the left is improving intellectual skills while the lady on the right prefers doing sports.
In my opinion, both ways of keeping young for elderly people have their advantages. For instance, improving intellectual skills can help elderly people avoid mental diseases. As for playing active games, it helps elderly people improve health condition as well as relieve stress. Of course, the ways of keeping young for elderly people have disadvantages too. For example, improving intellectual skills in front of the computer is harmful for eyesight. At the same time, playing active games can be rather dangerous and elderly people can get seriously injured.
As for me, I would prefer doing sports to keep young as playing sports games like tennis or volleyball could help improve my physical condition as well as mental health.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
