Describing a picture

1. Complete the description with the words below.

¹______________ photos show a group of people who are all surrounding one person and looking at them. The ²______________ theme in the two photos is celebration. The first photo ³______________ a very old man at the centre, ⁴______________ the second photo shows a young woman in her twenties. It must be the old man’s birthday because he is sitting in front of a birthday cake, and the other people must be members of his family because they are all different ages. In ⁵______________ to the first photo, the people in the ⁶______________ photo must be the woman’s friends as they are all roughly the same age as her. In the ⁷______________ photo the people are also wearing party clothes, ⁸______________ in the second photo they are just wearing jeans and T-shirts. Another obvious ⁹______________ is that the woman isn’t sitting down – she is walking through a door into a house. Judging by the expression on her face, she wasn’t expecting to find everyone there. So, ¹⁰______________ the first photo, it must be a surprise celebration.

 Both     common      shows       whereas       contrast       second       first      but     difference    unlike
