Task 1:
Describe the picture. Answer the following questions in your description:
- What do you see in the picture below?
- What might this picture illustrate?
- What does the picture make you think of?
Write your answer in
100–120 words.
Additional tasks:
Task 2 (essay topics)
Imagine that the picture from task 1 is given to you as a visual prompt for an essay. Think of and write down 3 essay topics relevant to the picture.
Task 3 (finding mistakes)
Read the description below, which answers task 1. What are its weak points?
The picture shows a strange thing. This thing is white. It has three shadows. The shadows
are on three walls: red, blue and yellow. The shadows are different, because the shape of
the thing is strange.
The picture shows that if we look at something we see only one side, and if we look at
another side, we see something else. It means that if we want to know what this something
really looks like, we must look at it from different sides.
This picture makes me think that when we see or experience something, we should
understand that we don't know what it really is and we must remember that it can be
different from what we see.
