SPEAK OUT | Comparing pictures
Start by an introductory phrase.
I'd like to compare and contrast these two photos.
Give a brief description of the photos (action, location).
The photo on the right shows a dancing pair. They are dancing on some kind of a stage in the open air. In the left-hand photo, in the foreground we can see two boys wearing white clothes. You may think that they are fighting, but actually they are playing capoeira – a Brazilian martial art which is really like a dance.
Say what the pictures have in common.
As for the similarities between the pictures, they both show people in movement. Moreover, we can say that they show dancing people because capoeira is both a martial art and a dance. Like a real dance it needs music and we can see boys playing different instruments in the background. Another feature they share is that both scenes take place outdoors. They are both very dynamic.
Say in what way the pictures are different.
As for the differences, there are many more people in the capoeira photo and we can see more of the surroundings. In the second picture there are just two dancing people. Another difference is that the dancers are wearing special clothes typical of Latin American dances, while capoeira players are dressed casually in white. One of them has trainers, the other is barefoot. The most important thing is that capoeira players look aggressive, while dancers don't.
Say which of the activities presented in the pictures you'd prefer.
As for me, I'd prefer dancing. Dancing is a great way to add more physical activity to our lives. It's good for our bodies and minds.
Explain why.
I think it's a great advantage to dance well and I'd like to take a few lessons. Dancing is also a fantastic activity when you are feeling stressed.
