Imagine that you are doing a project space exploration together with your friend

Imagine that you are doing a project «Serve and protect» 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 serving in the police and in the army;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project – whether police or army is more important to society.

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 “Serve and protect”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people carrying out their professional duties. In the first photo there are two policemen. They are standing on a street and talking to each other. In the second photo there is a rather big group of soldiers. They are equipped and marching in the row.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, soldiers are usually serving somewhere far from the city. Meanwhile the policemen are staying in the cities to maintain order.

In my opinion, serving in the police and in the army have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, serving in the police can provide you the opportunity to stay closer to your family, but it comes with high risks for your life. Army offer various ways of military training, but it may be too tough for some people to go through.

I believe that army is fundamentally more important than a police force. Of course, no city can exist without some level of crime deterrence, but a country has to protect its sovereignty at all times.

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

The first human carrying flight technology was the hot air balloon. While unmanned balloons have been around in some form for thousands of years, the first flight with people aboard was in 1782. The large balloon on top is called an “envelope”. It holds hot air created by a heat source known a burner. The burner creates an open flame by burning a mix of propane and air. Hot air balloons are capable of floating because the hot air inside the envelope has a lower density than the colder air outside. The top of the balloon usually has a vent which allows the pilot to control the speed of ascent or descent. Passengers typically stand in a basket beneath the envelope. While most envelopes have a standard balloon shape, others are designed to look like animals, cartoon characters and other fun objects.

Many lands that had once been swamps were drained or filled in. There are different reasons why people drained swamplands. Some were drained to fight diseases caused by insects that lived in them. Because swamps were considered unpleasant places in which to live and harmful to health, many people thought that unless they were drained the land was worthless.

Other swamps were drained to make new land. As the population grew and more land was needed, people drained swamps or filled them to make room for more farms and factories, more roads and airports.

Few people thought that it might be harmful to get rid of swamps. As swamps disappeared, other things happened. There were both more floods and more droughts than before. There were also more fires, for swamps had acted as firebreaks. Hunters noticed that there was less wild game. Wild life that once lived in the swamps was dying out, because it had no place to live.

People have always told stories and legends to explain natural, but mysterious, occurrences such as the Northern Lights. The Vikings believed the Northern Lights were caused by the shining weapons of warriors. The Alaskan people thought the lights were the souls of salmon, deer and other animals. The Indians told the stories of giants living in the North and thought the lights were their torches.

The Northern Lights are actually caused by electrons from solar winds. They are attracted to the poles by the magnetic fields found there. They mix with gases in the atmosphere, which causes the gases to glow. The Northern Lights are most visible in the far north. They are typically green, purple, red or blue.

Japan is an island nation in East Asia, located in the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Asian continent. Japan comprises the four main islands in addition to numerous smaller islands. Tokyo is the country’s capital and largest city. Mountains dominate Japan’s landscape, covering 75 to 80 per cent of the country. Historically, the mountains were barriers to transportation, limiting the economic development of isolated areas. However, with the development of tunnels, bridges, and air transportation in the modern era, the mountains are no longer an obstacle. The Japanese have long celebrated the beauty of their mountains in art and literature, and today many mountain areas are preserved in national parks. Most of Japan’s people live on plains and lowlands found mainly along the lower courses of the country’s major rivers, on the lowest slopes of mountain ranges, and along the sea coast. This concentration of people makes Japan one of the world’s most crowded countries.

Since ancient times, humans have loved and cherished cats as their pets. Today more than 80 million cats reside in US homes, with an estimated three cats for every dog on the planet. Yet there is still a lot we don’t know about our feline friends – including what they think of their owners. After observing pet cats for several years, scientists have come to an intriguing conclusion: cats don’t really understand people the way dogs do. They tend to feel it is they who own their masters, not vice versa. On the contrary, dogs perceive people as being very different from themselves. As soon as they see a human, they change their behaviour. The way a dog plays with a human is completely different from the way it plays with a dog. Cats are independent creatures and they can easily change their owner without changing their habits.

• 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 being a volunteer and helping people occasionally;

• express your opinion on the subject of the project – whether you would like to be a volunteer or not.

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 “Helping others”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.

They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people helping others. In the first photo there is a group of young people. All of them are wearing white t-shirts with a word «volunteer». In the second picture there is a man, helping an old lady to cross the street. It looks like he cares a lot about her.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, the first picture features some organization that needs volunteers to do some work. In the second picture a man isn’t a part of volunteer’s group, he is helping on his own accord. Moreover, in the first picture there is a group of people, while the second picture features only one person helping out.

In my opinion, being a volunteer and helping people occasionally have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, being a part of a volunteer group will allow you to help more people, however, it requires much more time from you. Helping out strangers occasionally is great for helping those who don’t ask for help themselves but actually need it, at the same time it doesn’t give the opportunity to develop one’s skills like a volunteer organization does.

As for me, I’d like to be a volunteer, because I think that people should care about each other, no matter if they know each other or not. And being a part of voluntary movement provides opportunities to try myself in different fields.

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

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

They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people spending time in different places. In the first photo there are two kids playing table football. They are playing it indoor. In the second picture there is a group of young people playing football on the pitch. It is also seen that the weather is snowy, so everyone is dressed appropriately.

There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, the kids in the first picture are playing indoors and a football game on the right is an outdoor activity. Secondly, in the first photo kids are playing in pair, perhaps, their opponents are on the other side of the table. While in the second photo there are two different football teams, as they have a uniform of different colors.

In my opinion, spending time inside and outside have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, playing indoors is usually more convenient as the weather conditions can’t influence on the game. However, it is also much less engaging and can become boring quite quickly, as not much is going to happen in a limited space. Playing outside is usually more exciting, but it required quite a bit of preparation before the start in order all necessary is done or taken.

Personally, I’d prefer to play indoors as I am not particularly physically fit for playing an active outdoors game. Moreover, I don’t enjoy the cold and rainy weather that is usual for my hometown.

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

THE TASK

Imagine that you are doing a project “Travel broadens the mind” 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:

You will speak not more than 3 minutes (12-15 sentences total). You have to talk continuously.

THE ANSWER

Hi, … I hope that you haven’t forgotten about the project we are going to do together. You know, I have found a couple of great pictures for it.

In the first picture there is a big group of tourists sightseeing in London. They might be listening to a guide or just walking towards Big Ben and many other London landmarks. In the second photo I can see only two people who are going hiking in the mountains. I think that both of these photos properly illustrate the topic of our project. They both show us different options when we choose a trip for ourselves. Sightseeing helps us to learn a lot about the history of a city, hiking might teach us better understand the world around us and build healthy relationships with our friends and family. Both pictures together provoke reflection and arguments about our topic.

As for me I can’t imagine my life without travelling. Of course, I would like to travel more to make new friends, practice English and become more intelligent.

I want to know what you think about my ideas as soon as possible so, please, call me back.
