Hi,Vasya!
I’ve just found two photos for our project "________"and I’d like to tell you about them and share my ideas.
I think these photos suit our project perfectly because they illustrate two different types of ______.
(краткое описание) The first photo shows a girl standing in a library and holding a book in her hand. She might be looking for some information for her research. The second photo depicts a girl sitting on a sofa at home. She is holding an e-reader in her hands and probably doing some research, too.
In my opinion, these photos will perfectly suit our project because they show two different kinds of life. In the first picture the girl is doing without any gadgets in a library surrounded by other people who are working together without any gadgets too, while in the second picture the girl is looking for some information via her gadget and she is studying the material alone in a comfortable atmosphere.
I think that both types of books presented in the photos have their merits. For example, printed books do not do any harm to people's eyesight when used for several hours and this is a real benefit. As for electronic books, they have a considerable advantage – it is very convenient to search for specific information within a document.
Speaking of disadvantages of the two types of books, I reckon that printed books are too heavy, especially when one needs several books at once. Electronic books have a drawback, too – they are not accessible if the e-reader or other gadget is broken or its battery is dead.
If you ask me, I wouldn't like to live without gadgets because they help me a lot in all spheres of my life. For instance, I use them to do my homework, chat with friends who live in other cities, listen to music and watch series. Life without gadgets is my idea of hell.
That’s all for now. I hope you like the photos and my ideas!

Hello, Ann.
I have found some photos for our project “______” and I'd like to share my thoughts with you.
I think these photos suit our project perfectly because they illustrate two different types of ______.
(краткое описание) In picture one there must be a family doing the shopping at a supermarket. In front of them there is a trolley full of groceries. In the second picture there's a young woman in front of her laptop. She must be at home, buying something online.
The key difference between the photos is that in the first picture the people are doing the shopping together, choosing goods and discussing them, while in the second picture the woman is buying things on her own. The places where the shopping is done are quite different. In the first picture the family is doing the shopping at a supermarket while in the second picture the woman is doing the shopping online.
I believe, both types of shopping have some advantages. The main advantage of traditional shopping is that you can check the quality and the shelf life of any goods. The good point of shopping online is that you don't have to leave your home and you save both time and effort. You can also have any goods delivered.
However, there are some disadvantages of both kinds of shopping. The main disadvantage of traditional shopping is that it takes a lot of time and it might be stressful and tiring. Sometimes you even have to wait in a queue. Shopping online you might fall a victim to hackers who can steal your money from your credit card. Besides, online service might mix up your order and send you the wrong size or colour.
Personally, I prefer online shopping because it is more convenient. It makes possible to search through catalogues to find exactly what you want at the best price saving both time and money.
That's all I wanted to say. I'll be looking forward to your reaction.

Hello, Tom! I’m calling you about our school project “Shopping”. I have found two photos to illustrate it and I want to tell you about them.
In the first photo, there is a family in a supermarket with a big shopping trolley, which is full of food-stuffs. In the second photo, there is a young woman who is typing something on the laptop and holding a bank card. Apparently, she is buying something online. I have chosen these photos because they _are relevant to our_ project. They both show the process of shopping but in different ways. _The key difference between the PHOTOS is the place where people do shopping._ _In the first photo, they_ go to a shop, take things, pay and go away, carrying our purchases. _In the second photo, I can see_ online shopping, when people make purchases from a gadget, pay online and wait for the delivery.
Despite their differences, both of these types of shopping have their advantages. When you go to a brick-and-mortar shop, you can make it a family event. Each member of your family can choose something to their liking. So no-one will be forgotten or upset. In case of online shopping, it can considerably save your time. You don’t have to go out and can make purchases in the comfort of your home.
Talking about disadvantages, I think we should also cover them in our project. After a visit to a real shop, a family will have to carry home a lot of heavy carrier bags. It is not fun. With online shopping, you cannot be sure that after delivery, your purchase will be exactly what you expect it to be. Sometimes photos on a screen don’t show the colour or the size right.
So, if you ask me, I prefer online shopping because it is fast and convenient. Even if there is a problem with my purchase, it is very easy to take it back.
That’s all from me now. Get in touch soon.
