Both photographs represent a sort of achievement, it be a feat, like in the

first one (a group of mountain climbers which have reached a high peak), or
an academic graduation, like in the second one. Nothing in attaining a goal
matters quite as much time is required, but the great deal of effort, the sort
of psychological and physical strength to take over the specific difficulties in
your path. Its for that reason that both situations should be regarded
separately. Climbing brings out a feeling of companionship, stressed by the
fact that several persons become fairly coordinated. It makes the mental
break down unlikely, since they back up each other. They seldom show their
weakness, even when weather conditions and an all sorts of adversities,
even gloomy circumstances, might become overwhelming.
On contrary, the collaborative work is rather less necessary in the second
case. Studies involve an effort extended along several years, overcoming a
great deal of tasks and subjects, and possibly as many failures as victories.
But it is a lonely path. Even when a student is supported by their classmates
or teachers, his own decisions affect anyone else apart from himself. That is
why a lot of students, frequently suffering lacks of self-confidence, tend to
consider backing out of their entire careers at halfway. During a graduation
ceremony they express satisfaction for a well-done work, a strength that
nobody knows as deeply as they do. Every cloud has a silver lining, and the
inner world of doubts and fears comes to end.
The last difference but not least depends on how we consider
achievement in both cases, so to say: an ending or a beginning. Climbers
conclude symbolically their voyage when they place a flag in the peak of
a mountain. Unlike climbers, most students dont consider themselves at the
end of a path when they graduate. In fact, it is quite usual they face
hopefully the future, and consider it as a beginning. If you prefer so,
education could be represented not as a destination but a road which
lengthens beyond whatever forecasting. It is just a stage to broaden the
horizon of your life.

What are the adventages or disadventages of living in different places?
Both photographies represent sorts of modern cities and urban layouts, and
they mirror fairly well the differences between them. The first one: a coast
city with quite a bit high buildings, contrasting with the sea and shore
spreading out widely. The second one: a middle-class neighborhood possibly
placed on the residential outskirt of a city. Obviously, functions and way of
life in each case involve different outlooks. Living near the sea implies
accepting the overwhelming growth of population in summer. Unlike most
people think it is difficult to deal with such amount of tourists, because it

determines the economic plan and the own social services of the city. The
city get almost empty at the end of the summer, and the main inhabitants
often have no tasks to carry out during the rest of the year, since their life
turn around tourism. On contrary, population in this kind of neighborhood
full of hard-worker only decreases in summer. Precisely because they are the
main tourist breaking out their life routines, the systematic schedule, the
lack of time and joyful places. These are disadvantages. The organization of
this kind of urban layout is thought to live, to some extent, near the places
of work. Houses are evenly distributed and public services proliferate, such
as nurseries, hospitals, and schools. All these are advantages.
Nevertheless, here it is, the sea is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape that
makes it worth. Walking along the shore or the port in winter is quite
relaxing and most people find peace in that. It is the perfect scenery to think
it over. Whats more, the own fluency of people in the coasts brings out a
great deal of international activity that makes inhabitants cities fairly
sociable, joyful, attentive, and open-minded. Whereas people in interior
cities often feel stressful, exhausted, worried, since the stream of life
doesnt stop from dawn to dusk.

Why would people keep these photographs?
Since a great amount of portable cameras were invented, and people from
different social classes could handle it, snapshots carried out a foremost
function: making reminders images which appeal to peoples thoughts and
emotions. Photographs are devices that let us be taken back to the past,
and it is not by chance that the first photographic plates were known as a
mirror with a memory. Little do we know all these photographs keep up
not only events, specific moments, but quite a bit variety of feelings
associated with an age; as for instance in the first photography (the child
about to win the race). Obviously a prize won in younghood doesnt matter
from an adult outlook, but it rather takes us to a time when were as nave
as fairly enthusiastic. So, in the second picture (these girls recently awarded
with a medal by their musical talent), a simple musical competition might be
the most important tryout in their life by far, and a simple award a source of
proud for your entire life. Another reason, regarding the second and the
fourth photographs, is the portrayed subjects, usually friends or family
members. From time to time we can go back and find those who, because
life circumstances, might be scattered or far away from us.
4. Which photograph is the most special?
As far as Im concerned, the second photograph is quite so much special
than the other. It shows an image of motherhood, a woman holding his baby
tightly on her side. This picture appeals an affective link which has no
comparison in the whole human sphere; mother and son, side by side,

showing us the natural cycle of life. A wedding, like in the second

photograph, undoubtedly is an important commitment, but at the same time
it is quite easily reversible. A birthday has to do with children reminiscences,
with some stages of your life. It is not unusual this kind of photographs give
us a bewildered look when we take them out of drawers at ages. That is
when you become conscious of that odd thing that time is. A feat
accomplished in common by a team may make you proud of your strength
at your adulthood, when your personal development reaches at heights.
However, not by chance motherhood is a universal symbol in which all of us
recognize quite a few powerful values such as love, sacrifice, and hope.
Images like that lead us all through the meaning of life.

Why is it important to ask questions in these situations? (School/ homefurniture)
It is a well known fact that not mainly patience but curiosity, indeed, is the
mother of the science. And this is why teachers say questions are quite as
much important as answers. In my opinion, asking any question, no matter
how absurd it could be, improves students capacities for solving problems
by their own means. Students that never keep into their doubts are likely to
become clever and insightful. Besides, a simple doubt, even if it may have
been thought rather insignificant, will probably make a student to fall
behind.
In the second photograph, on contrary, asking is not a matter of knowledge
but of taste. The woman is customizing a room, making the decision of what
ceiling paper should be used. Thus, she probably asks for an opinion
because her couple will live there as well. She is looking for a decision in
common, to be in tune with him. Asking is a demonstration of confidence. To
some extent, the own choice represents what a relationship is: a balance
between peoples wishes, communication, and harmony.
