Hello, Kate
Look! I’ve found two photos to
illustrate our project work on group activities.
The first picture shows some children
pulling a rope elsewhere on hot summer day. Children seem to be much / heavily/ involved
in what they are doing. The second picture shows a group of children watching
television at home. They enjoy seeing a movie and spending time together.
The pictures depict different group
activities: sporty and relaxing. That’s exactly what our project is about.
The project reveals advantages and
disadvantages of these two types of activities. Obviously, doing sports
together elsewhere outdoors gives a lot of joy while doing something together indoors
might be boring. However, indoor relaxing activities are safe while playing
sports games might be injurious.
Since I am into playing sports games
together with my friends outdoors I like sports group activities better

Hello, Kate
Look! I have found two photos to illustrate our project work on climates of the world.
The first picture shows some people walking with their children in the park on cold winter day. The second picture shows a woman and a girl sitting on a bench somewhere at the seaside. They are enjoying themselves and hot sunny weather. They look so delighted
The pictures illustrate pretty well how people spend their free time in a cold climate and in a hot one. That's exactly what our project is about
The project reveals advantages and disadvantages of living in a hot country and in a cold climate. Sure, people living in a warm climate enjoy being outdoors most of the time while in a cold country people prefer to stay indoors more often. However, it is impossible to have a good time doing winter sports when in a hot country, while in a cold climate one can do skiing, skating, play ice hockey. It’s fun.
Since I am a fan of swimming and hot sunny weather I would prefer to live in a hot country

Hello, Kate
Look! I've found two photos to illustrate our project work " Travelling on two wheels"
The first picture shows two boys cycling along the road at the seaside. The second picture shows four motorcyclists coming past at a high speed.
The pictures depict two different means of transport : a motorcycle and a bike. That's exactly what our project is about.
The project reveals advantages and disadvantages of these two means of transport. Well, riding a motorcycle at a high speed is so exciting while riding a bike is not so fast. However, riding a motorcycle you do not exercise your body whereas riding a bike provides a lot of training exercise.
Since I am into fitness on a bike I prefer this means of transport. Riding a bike is really so great !

"Indoors versus outdoors" together with your friend. You have found

Hello, Kate
Look ! I’ve found two photos to
illustrate our project work “ Indoors versus outdoors”
The first picture shows two children
playing a board game at home. The children are playing hockey and they seem to
be immensely involved. The second picture shows some boys playing football on
the sports ground on frosty winter day.
The pictures depict how children spend
their free time outdoors and indoors. That’s exactly what our project is about.
The project reveals advantages and
disadvantages of spending free time in two different ways: indoors and
outdoors. Well, outdoor activities make people healthy and joyful while indoor
activities are not so healthy. However, indoor activities are likely to be more
intelligent than outdoor activities.
Since I am into doing sports outdoors I
like outdoor activities better
Study the
two photographs. In a minute be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:
1) give a brief description(action,
location)
2) say what the pictures have in common
3) say in what way the pictures are different
4) say which learning style you prefer
5) explain why
I’d like to compare and contrast two pictures
Look !
The 1st picture shows children riding bikes in the forest the 2d
picture shows some girls shopping in the shopping center ( holding shopping
bags)
COMPARISON AND CONTRASTING THE PICTURES: SIMILARITIES:PictureA and Picture B have something in common:they both show young people spending their free time.In both pictures teenagers seem to be good friends , they like each other and having fun together.
However,there are also some DIFFERENCES between the pictures:the cyclists in picture A are spending their free time in a more active way while the girls in picture B spend their free time waiting in queues.Riding bikes in a forest is healthier.Another important difference is that teens in the pictures are wearing different clothes:sports wear in picture A and casual ones in picture B.It is clear that you need some special equipment like bikes,helmets and sportsclothes if you want to go cycling and only your credit card and some free time if you go shopping.
1) give a brief description(action, location)
2) say what the pictures have in common
3) say in what way the pictures are different
4) say which learning style you prefer
5) explain why
I'd like to compare and contrast the pictures related to family life. Both pictures show every day family life scenes. In the photos men and women are sitting together somewhere indoors and outdoors.
Of course,
Picture A and picture B have something in common: they both show people spending their free time together. In both pictures people look like married couples.
As for me , I would prefer the relationship between the members of the family like in picture B because it is warm.
That's all I wanted to say .
