Describing a picture Preliminary English Test pet (B1). a) Introduction

In the photo on the right, the beach is next to the city. There are a lot of people 
sunbathing. It’s really crowded. In the background I can see many high buildings. The 
sea is on the left and it’s full of bathers. The sand is on the right and there are a lots of 
colourful beach umbrellas. I think it’s a modern big city, it seems a lively place. 
On the other hand, in the photo on the left, the beach is far from the city, and there 
are few people. At the back you can see green mountains and some little houses. The 
sea is on the right, there is no one bathing. On the right corner, there are two women 
next to rocks, they seem very relaxed, they are sunbathing in sun beds and they are 
reading a book. They look like friends, it looks as if they are having a great time. 
The scene in the photo on the right looks very noisy and it’s packed with people, 
while in the photo on the left, it looks very peaceful and quiet.

Personally, I prefer the photo on the left, because it looks like a perfect place to spend 
a summer’s day. I love going to the beach and swimming in the sea, but I don’t like 
beaches which are close the city, and the crowds.

A Firefighter (Elementary) 
 
In this photo I can see a man, I think he looks about thirty-five. I can’t see his hair 
because he is wearing a helmet to protect his head. He is wearing a firefighter uniform 
which is black and has long sleeves with yellow stripes. He is also wearing black 
gloves and has a radio around his waist, perhaps to talk to his colleagues. He looks 
worried and tired. He might be working, because behind him there is a 
building destroyed by the fire. He is holding a brown cat; I think he has rescued it 
from the fire.I think this work is very dangerous and hard, but it is very important too, 
and you must feel a very important person when you have rescued other people.
