      Revise the pictures carefully and compare them. You can use the vocabulary expressions below:

      On the contrary..................

      • When comparing your Pictures, talk about the similarities and differences between  them.

      Eg. Both pictures show… but this one…, whereas the other one…

      • Speculate about the pictures . You are not asked simply to describe what is happening.

      Eg. They might (well) have problems finishing

             She is likely to / she’ll probably find it quite tough

            I expect/imagine she’s feeling a bit lonely at the           

             Moment.

       

      • Use a wide range of vocabulary. For example, when speculating about people’s feelings, go beyond the use of simple words such as happy, sad or nervous.

       

      • Signpost the end of your talk by adding a personal reaction to the pictures. For example:
        'The two people in picture two look like they're enjoying themselves but personally, I think I'd prefer to spend my study time in a lecture theatre where I'd be more able to concentrate on learning'.
