I’ve chosen photo number 3.
I took this photo during my winter
holidays which I spent with my family in Veliky Ustyug. Before the
trip I didn’t think that I would really like it. But everything was
great. The weather was nice, that’s why we spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying a
lot of white snow and interesting activities. One day I took part in a
wonderful show with Father Frost and Snow Maiden. I took a lot of photos that
day. But in this photo there is only Father Frost. He is posing
before the camera. I decided to snap a full-length photo of him in order to
memorize his snow-white beard and long beautiful coat. In the background there
are children who came from different parts of our country to celebrate the
New Year with Russia’s chief Father Frost. They are dancing in a ring around
him and singing a merry song. I want to show the photo to my friend because
he wanted to go to Veliky Ustyug, but unfortunately he
couldn’t. It will be interesting for him to see Russia’s chief Father Frost.
Besides, I think a photo is worth a thousand words.

These pictures are
about places where people can live in.
In the first picture
we see a large industrial city. In
the second picture there is a small village.
There are not many
similarities between these two pictures.
I think that what unites them is that in both pictures we can see buildings,
houses and roads.
There are more
differences than similarities between
these two pictures. I’ll name some of them. Firstly, the first picture
shows a densely populated city with lots of tall buildings and blocks of flats,
while the second picture depicts a rural area with a lot of green land
and some old houses. Secondly, the city is located near a river, whereas
the village is situated at the foot of the mountain. Another difference
concerns transport. There isn’t any means of transport in the second picture. In
contrast, in the first picture we can see a steamboat and a lot of cars on
the bridge across the river. Furthermore, we can guess that the first
picture was taken in summer, while the other picture shows an autumn
day.
Personally, I’d
prefer city life to country life. A
city is a place where there are more places to go to, a wide variety of
attractions that can't be found in the countryside. Besides, a city
can give young people great opportunities to continue their education. And
that is very important for me because I’m going to study at a university.
