THE ANSWER
Hi, … I hope that you haven’t forgotten about the project we are going to do together. You know, I have found a couple of great pictures for it.
In the first picture there is a busy city, it must be New York. We can see skyscrapers with a number of advertisements on the buildings and a traffic jam. Also there are crowds of people everywhere. In the second one a picturesque village is quietly situated not far away from the mountains. We can’t see any people in the photo but we understand that they like living here very much. I think that both of these photos properly illustrate the topic of our project. The first one shows the problems people face if they live in a huge city while the second one underline the advantages we can get if we choose living in a smaller place. Both pictures together provoke reflection and arguments about our topic.
These two pictures have a couple of differences. Firstly, they underline two different ways of living: in a huge city or in tiny village. Secondly, the presence or absence of crowds of people everywhere in the pictures is a significant difference too.
I suppose in the project we have to mention the disadvantages of living in a big city. It’s obvious that in the city you have to constantly deal with various types of people and for introverts it must be hard. Secondly, air pollution is becoming a big challenge nowadays. Living in a city means living between cars and their smoke. Also you have to waste a lot of time in traffic jams. The stunning and quiet view of a village in the second picture is presented as opposed to busy life in a city.
As for me I can’t imagine my life in a small town or a village in the future. I’m sure I need the activeness and entertainments which big cities offer.
I want to know what you think about my ideas as soon as possible so, please, call me back.
