Hey, Kate. You know that? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project “Cooperation in the workplace”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people in the workplace. In the first photo there are three people in the office. It seems like they are colleagues. All of them are smiling, they might have had a great work done. In the second picture there is a man, who is wearing a suit. He looks extremely exhausted. He seems to be working alone on a project.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. People in the first picture work together, while the man in the second picture is alone. Moreover, people in the first photo seem to be full of energy, while the men in the second photo is burned out.

In my opinion, both ways of spending time as a group have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, working in a team can lead to a greater feeling of appreciation, but one can feel that they aren’t doing their best if they work in a team. Working alone is usually more rewarding, but it can result in burnout and tiredness.

As for me, I would prefer working in a collective. I think it is very important to have good colleagues in the workplace. I’ve never wanted to work as a freelancer, alone, because I need other people around me, who can notice what a good worker I am.

So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.

Task 4. Imagine that you are doing a project “Keeping fit” 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 ways of keeping fit;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project — what you would do to keep fit 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 “Keeping fit”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

These pictures are relevant to our project because there are people doing sports. In the first photo there is a young woman exercising in the gym. She is smiling. The woman seems to be relaxed and confident. In the background of the picture there are other people who are exercising as well. In the second picture there is a woman who is running in the park. It doesn’t seem to be hard for her.

Obviously, both of these pictures are related to sport and healthy lifestyle. But there are differences to illustrate our project better. In the first picture people are exercising in the gym while in the second picture a woman is running alone in the park.

In my opinion, the two ways of keeping fit have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, modern gyms provide quite a wide range of facilities, such as various exercise machines, group training or even swimming pool. However, the membership fee is rather expensive. As for running in the park, it helps people improve health condition as well as relieve stress. At the same time, this kind of activity depends on the weather since it is not pleasant to run on a rainy day.

As for me, I would go to the sport gym because there is a lot of things to do 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.

ОТВЕТ
Hi, Ben. I have found two photos, which we could use for our project “Life without gadgets”. The first picture presents a woman with a printed book. It is a good example of what the reading process looked like when modern gadgets didn’t exist. The second illustration shows a girl with an up-to-date e-book. Today, most people widely use such piece of technology.

You know, the main difference between the pictures lies in their demonstration of two ways of reading. As to the first photo, it shows us a traditional library. There are bookshelves everywhere with lots of printed books and magazines. Also, there are tables to sit at and flip through the chosen books and magazines. In the foreground there is a woman with a big red printed book, her index finger pointing upwards as if exressing the idea that this kind of book is really what you need. The second photo dempnstrates an electronic way of reading. There is a girl with an e-book reader sitting on a sofa or in an arm-chair at home. When looking at the background, you can’t see any bookshelves at all. You don’t really need them because all your books are electronically stored on your gadget.

Each way of reading has its advantages and disadvantages. Printed books are safer for your eyes and give you a nicer sensation when turning over the pages. But they need a spacious room to be stored, and you have to spend much time to go to the bookstore or a library to get them. On the contrary, e-books don’t need physical space, and it takes no time to download them from the Internet. However, they damage your eyes. In addition, your e-book reader can unexpectedly become discharged, and you loose any opportunity to read a book.

Personally, I would like to have as many gadgets as possible. You know, life is constantly becoming busier, and gadgets help me to keep up the pace.

That’s it, Ben. Call me back as soon as you come home.

Imagine that you are doing a project «Group activities» 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 tell the friend about the photos:

• 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 ways of spending time as a group;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project – what kind of activity would you prefer?

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 “Group activities”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people spending their spare together. In the first photo there is а group of children. They are outside playing tug of war together. They look a bit aggressive because they are playing against each other. In the second photo there is another group of children, they are also four and they are sitting on a sofa and watching TV. They look very excited, perhaps, they are watching cartoons.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. While the first picture presents children competing with one another, in the second picture they spend their time more cooperatively. Moreover, the first activity takes place outdoors, while the second one is indoors.

In my opinion, both ways of spending time as a group have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, competing with one another can be more involving and interesting, but it can cause unwanted arguing. Doing an activity together get people closer together, but it may not be enough excitement in it.

As for me, I prefer not having to compete with anyone in my spare time. Usually, my friends and I go to the cinema at weekends and honestly speaking, I love watching films and eating popcorn together.

So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.

Task 4. Imagine that you are doing a project “Concerts” 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 concerts;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project — what kind of concerts you prefer 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 “Concerts”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

These pictures are relevant to our project because they are showing musical events. Both of them are related to music. In the first photo there is a band playing. Perhaps, they are playing jazz music, which is well seen by the instrument they are using. In the second one there is a kid playing the piano. He might be having a musical exam in a school, as he is very focused.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, in the picture on the left there is the audience, on the right – only the musician. The first one shows us some professional musicians, and a boy is a musical school’s student, I suppose. Also, the left one tells us about some musical festival (this information is given on the billboard at the top of the picture), meanwhile the right one tells about a musical exam, as I supposed earlier.

In my opinion, the two types of concerts have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, the atmosphere in the jazz music concert is usually pleasant and relaxed. However, it may be noisy there as somebody sings or dances. As for the classical music concerts, the atmosphere is generally calm there, but a few people really like and understand this music genre as it may be boring.

As for me, I prefer the jazz music concert, because I used to be a member of a school music band and I remember how exciting it was to play on a stage, because I felt other musicians near me.

So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
