start with the 1st picture. This picture shows a family which are enjoying their leisure time at the seaside. In the foreground we can see all its members playing with the sand. In the background there is beautiful turquoise sea. The second picture depicts a family which are spending their free time in the mountains. In the foreground we can see all its members beating through high grass. In the background there is a picturesque view of the towering mountains.
These pictures have pretty much in common. First of all, in both pictures we can see how families spend their free time together. Secondly, these families are quite big in size. There are five embers in each family. And finally, it is obvious that it is summer time and most probably both families are on vacation.
These picture are also different in many ways. The families are involved into different activities. In the first picture parents with kids are building a sand castle while in the second picture the family is hiking in the mountains. Also, they are dressed differently, the people in the 1st picture are wearing colorful swimming suits whereas in the second one the people are dressed in shirts and shorts and are wearing backpacks, most probably full of food and water.
4-5 When it comes to how I like spending my holidays and what I would prefer, to be blunt I would prefer to be in the first picture, as I associate my holidays with the seaside which does not require a lot of effort from my side, I can lie on the beach, get tanned, swim, dive and enjoy my life.
