Study the two photographs. In 1.5 minutes be ready to compare and contrast the photographs:

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)

• say what the pictures have in common

• say in what way the pictures are different

• say what kind of transport presented on the photos you prefer

• explain why

You will speak for not more than 2 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.

Высказывание должно быть логично; содержать вступительную и заключительную фразы, соответствующие теме. Средства логической связи должны быть использованы верно. Необходимо избегать необоснованных пауз в речи, верно расставлять ударения, правильно использовать интонацию, не нарушать нормы произношения слов.

In photo number one, we can see two cyclists. They are obviously professional sportsmen. They are taking part in some competition and going on the road somewhere near the ocean and mountains. The view is very beautiful. In the second picture I can see four bikers going by a highway.

Both of the pictures are related to transport. In both photos there is a road and people on it. The surroundings on these two pictures are similar as well. All of the characters in these photos are wearing helmets and riding a two-wheel transport. The difference is that bicycles have pedals while bikes move with the engine and bikers don’t have to move their legs.

As for me, I prefer bicycles because it’s more of a healthy and ecological type of transport. And when you ride a bicycle you are doing sport. Moreover, motobikes are to loud for me. And they are too brutal as well.
