Exercise 2
Model answer:
These two photos show people
relaxing in parks. In the first
photo, you can see a group of
people enjoying some lunch
whereas in the second photo,
you can see a girl lying down
reading alone and listening to
music. While both photos show
people resting, in the first there
are notebooks in front of two of
the people, which suggests they
might be studying, or taking a
break from it. There is also a
football which means they might
have just done some exercise.
In the second photo, we can
only see the girl’s bag and it
doesn’t look like she’s studying
– she’s reading for pleasure.
The girl in the second photo
enjoys her own company and
she probably enjoys having time
to think whereas the people in
the first photo enjoy being with
others whether they are
studying together or just
hanging out.
