1. Describe the pictures:

• First image (snowy landscape):
• The picture shows a mountainous landscape with snow-covered peaks.
• There are small, red houses by a body of water.
• The sky is partly cloudy, giving a calm and serene atmosphere.
• The image suggests a cold, winter environment, possibly from the Arctic or Northern Europe.
• Second image (beach):
• This picture shows a busy beach with a clear blue sky.
• There are many colorful umbrellas and sunbathers on the sand.
• The sea appears inviting with some people swimming and walking along the shore.
• It’s a warm, summer environment with a vibrant, lively atmosphere.

2. Explain whether you prefer summer or winter:

• I prefer summer because I enjoy the warm weather and long days.
• Summer allows me to spend more time outdoors, doing activities like swimming or hiking.
• I find it relaxing to be at the beach or to travel to sunny places.
• Winter can be cold and dark, and I don’t like the shorter days.

3. Discuss whether you could imagine living at a place where it is always warm or cold:

• I could imagine living in a warm place because I like the idea of enjoying outdoor activities year-round.
• However, it could become tiring if it’s too hot for too long.
• I could also imagine living in a cold place, especially if I enjoy winter sports or the peacefulness of a snowy environment.
• On the downside, constant cold weather might limit outdoor activities and make life more challenging.
