I am going to compare and contrast two pictures.
1. give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
In the first picture there is a woman sitting on the sofa probably at home and reading an e-book. In the second picture there is the same woman I guess in a train standing and reading a printed book.
2. say what the pictures have in common
These pictures have a few things in common. First of all, judging by the lady’s look it is the same person is in both pictures. Secondly, in each picture this woman is reading. The woman also is alone and she is slightly smiling.

There are some differences as well. First, the woman is dressed differently in each picture. In the first picture she is wearing a bathrobe and in the second one she’s wearing a T-shirt. She’s reading an e-book in one picture, while a printed book in the other. Also, in the left picture she’s at home, whereas in the right one she’s on a train. Moreover, the color of her hair is different too, black in picture one and light in picture two.
4. say which of the ways of reading a book presented in the pictures you’d prefer
Personally, I would prefer reading e-books.
5. explain why
As for me, I like reading a few books at the same time. Because, having one e-book reader allows a person to have all the books they want in one place. It’s like a personal library. It’s not comfortable for me to carry a couple kilos of regular books in my bag.

Well, there are two pictures in front of me, and now I am going to compare and contrast them.
To begin with, I’d like to say that both pictures are related to one theme. It is “bears”. The first picture shows us a bear sitting on some rocks in a zoo. It is being photographed by a lot of people. The second picture shows us a wild bear looking into the distance.

Despite the fact that these pictures have much in common, they are quite different. In the left-hand photo the bear is surrounded by a number of photographers while in the right-hand photo there is noboby but the bear itself. In addition to it, it seems to me that the bear in the first picture looks happier than its counterpart in the second picture.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that these pictures are quite interesting and worth discussing.

Well, I have two pictures to compare and contrast. From the very beginning, I’d like to say that both pictures are connected with a very important topic. It is human environment. The first picture shows us an urban environment with high modern houses, much traffic, and the like. The second picture presents the countryside, which is very quiet, and nothing special is happening there.
If you take a closer look, you’ll find a lot of common details in both pictures. In the first place, I’d like to state the fact that there are some buildings in both pictures. In addition to it, there is a road running through the scene, and greenery in both photos.
As far as differences are concerned, it is obvious that the houses are different in the pictures. Absolutely! In the first photo we can see a number of skyscrapers and other city constructions made of reinforced concrete plates. In the second photo we can see plain small country-houses, which are nothing out of the common. Besides, the roads differ from each other in the pictures. In the left-hand picture, the road is wide and full of cars, buses, and other city vehicles. In the right-hand picture, the road is unsurfaced, and utterly empty.
As for me, I’d prefer an urban environment, though it is more polluted and less comfortable to live. The reason is that a big city has more opportunities for personal development and making a successful career.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that these pictures are quite interesting and worth discussing.

However, the photos differ from each other to a considerable extent.

Now I am going to give a talk comparing and contrasting two photographs.
To begin with, I’d like to say that these photos are connected with a very important topic. This is “family life”. In the left-hand photo you can see a happy family consisting of four persons. It seems to me that they are celebrating Christmas because there is a Christmas tree in the background. In the right-hand photo you can see another family consisting of three members. I guess they are having a birthday party because there is a birthday cake with the definite number of candles in it, and there are also birthday presents on the table.
It is at once apparent that both pictures have much in common. It goes without saying they depict a happy moment of family life. The people are dressed up, and they are also in good spirits. By all appearances, they are having a good time. There is one more detail that makes the pictures alike. I mean children. Both pictures show us happy children who are surrounded by their loving parents.
As to the differences, I should point out the fact that the children are of different sex in the pictures. It is a girl who is in the left-hand picture, and it is a boy who is in the right-hand picture. What is more, the number of persons is different. There are four persons in the first case while there are three persons in the second case.
Frankly speaking, it is difficult for me to decide what celebration to choose because they both seem to be awesome. Nevertheless, I’d prefer Christmas because it is a holiday for not only getting presents but also for making them.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that it is very important to have a happy family and to celebrate occasions together.

Well, I see two pictures, and now I am going to compare and contrast them.
As a first step, I’d like to say that these pictures are about spending free time together. In the first picture you can see a group of young people who are quad biking in winter. In the second picture you can see a party of friends who are going to watch TV.
If you take a closer look, you can see that these pictures have much in common. First of all, I’d like to point out the fact that both groups of people are sexually mixed. I mean there are males as well as females in each group. In addition to it, they are approximately of the same age.
Despite all the similarities, these pictures are rather different. It is obvious that the number of persons is not the same. There are three persons in the left-hand picture while there are four persons in the right-hand picture. Moreover, the first group is in the open air, in a thick forest. By all appearances, it is frosty and windy there. The second group is inside a house. They are sitting on a couch and feeling pretty comfortable.
As for me, I’d prefer having a party at home because I don’t like extreme activities. Frankly speaking, I am not a sporty person, and, what is more, I hate winter.
In conclusion I’d like to say that it is just awesome to have good friends to spend free time with.

Well, I have two pictures to compare and contrast.
Right at the beginning, I would like to point out the fact that the pictures are all about reading. The first picture shows us a girl reading something from her iPad at the moment. The second picture presents another girl reading a book.
Obviously, these photos have much in common. First of all, it is a beautiful young lady that should be mentioned as a common element of both situations. You can see that she is really carried away by reading, and she doesn’t pay attention to what is happening around her. Frankly speaking, it seems to me that the girl in the first picture is the same as in the second picture. Anyway, they look so much alike that I could hardly say they are different. They have one and the same shape of body, form of head, hair length, and the like. What is more, both girls are smiling, and their smile is scarcely perceptible.
If you take a closer look, you can’t help noticing some differences. Firstly, in the left-hand photo the girl has brown wavy hair while in the right-hand photo the girl has reddish-brown hair. Secondly, the book itself is different. In the first case the girl is reading an e-book downloaded into her iPad while in the second case it is a paper-book that is being read. It should also be noted that the action is happening in different places. The first girl is sitting on her comfortable couch at home while the second girl is standing in a streetcar.
As for me, I’d prefer e-books to paper-books, because a lot of e-books can be easily downloaded from the Internet for free, and in addition to it, they are more comfortable to read.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that reading is a good way to spend free time no matter what way of reading you choose.

It stands to mention that these pictures have much in common. Firstly, the main characters in both situations are females of approximately the same age. They are sporty, and they like keeping fit. Secondly, the girls are wearing similar T-shirts, which are suitable for doing sports best of all. What’s more, both young women are smiling, which means they are in good spirits and experiencing great pleasure in physical exercises.
Along with similarities, there are a lot of differences in these photos. First of all, the girls are doing sports in different places. The first girl seems to be in a gym or a fitness center while the second girl is jogging in an open area. Besides, if you look at the girls’ clothes, you see the difference of their colours. In the first case it is white while in the second case it is red.
As for me, I’d prefer jogging in a park. In my opinion, it is much healthier to do exercises in the open air breathing fresh air in and enjoying the surrounding nature.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that there are many ways of taking care of your health. You choose your own considering your preferences, purposes, and physical state.

Здравствуйте, мои любимые читатели.
Описание картинок на английском языке на ЕГЭ — одно из тех заданий, к которому нужно долго и тщательно готовиться. Конечно, вам может показаться, что здесь все максимально просто, но в действительности неподготовленный студент может попасть в типичные ловушки этой части теста.
Содержание (кликайте и переходите к нужной части):
- План и полезные фразы
- Образцы описания с аудио записью
Поэтому сегодня я хочу подробно с вами обсудить план этого задания, для чего его придумали, а также дам вам парочку показательных примеров, на которые можно будет опираться.
Кстати, для подготовки к ЕГЭ сеть авторитетных школ английского языка в Москве и МО BKC-International House предлагает специальные курсы, которые позволят учащимся очень хорошо подтянуть свой язык и морально подготовиться к формату этого нелегкого экзамена.
Тем, кто любит (или кому подходят!) дистанционные занятия, я от души рекомендую Foxford. Там будут рады помочь сдать любой экзамен на 100 баллов! Записывайтесь к лучшим преподавателям по английскому (и не только!) и готовьтесь качественно!
Что это и зачем придумали?
Описание картинок — третье задание в устной части теста. Здесь проверяются ваши способности быстро формулировать монолог длиною в 2 минуты по существующему плану. Кроме того, проверяется ваш грамматический и лексический уровень, а также умение вести неподготовленную речь. Данное задание считается одним из самых легких в устной части, особенно если ставить его рядом со сравнением картинок.
План действий
Первичная формулировка задания в 2020 году будет звучать следующим образом.
Представьте, что эти фотографии взяты из вашего фотоальбома. Выберите одно фото, чтобы рассказать о нем вашему другу. Вы начнете через 1.5 минуты, и должны будете говорить не более 2 минут.
А сейчас обратите внимание, что у вас есть целых 1.5 минуты, чтобы уже внимательно рассмотреть картинки, составить себе план ответа и даже вспомнить все слова, которые вы можете забыть во время ответа. Поверьте, эти 1.5 минуты дают вам нереальную фору.
После этой формулировки у вас есть небольшой план, по которому вы и описываете картинки. Он не меняется, поэтому уже сейчас вы можете начинать готовиться и запоминать его.
- Где и когда была снята эта фотография.
1-2 предложений для этой части будет достаточно.
- Кто или что изображено на этой фотографии.
Здесь также можно не очень сильно заострять внимание. Хватит и 2-3 предложений.
- Что на ней происходит.
Самая объемная часть ответа, где вы можете проявить себя. Рассказывайте все, что можете в этой части, но помните про время!
- Почему ты хранишь эту фотографию в своем альбоме.
Здесь ответы могут различаться у каждого человека, но в основе их может лежать фраза «to recall good memories».
- Почему ты показываешь эту фотографию своему другу.
В отличие от других частей плана, здесь вы можете просто заранее придумать пару готовых предложений, а за те самые 1.5 минуты просто проверить, подойдут ли они.
Полезные фразы в помощь
Well… — Ладно. — Если вы не знаете, с чего начать, говорите это слово. Оно даст вам фору в 1—2 секунды.
In the photo … — На фотографии…
I took this picture… when/because —Я сделал этот снимок… когда/потому что…
In the foreground/background of the picture… — На переднем/заднем плане картинки…
At the very particular moment — В этот самый момент…
Образцы и примеры
Сегодня я хочу вам дать образец, запомнив который вы сможете без каких-либо сложностей справляться с этим заданием. Также я покажу вам примеры, как лучше всего отвечать на этом задании.


Первое, что я делаю — это оцениваю, на какую из фотографий я могу говорить больше всего, где я могу использовать свои лексические знания максимально эффективно.
Итак, начнем! Аудио запись также прикрепляю.
- I have chosen the first photo. (Начинать с этой фразы лучше всего. У вас появляются лишние три секунды, а экзаменатору сразу становится понятно, что вы будете описывать.)
- I took this photo when we were having a family dinner at my grandparents’ house last winter. That is how we usually spend weekends during the winter time so I have at least a dozen other similar photos.
- In this photo you can see all my brothers and sisters, and my grandparents as well. They look happy as the dinner has already started and it is absolutely delicious. There is lots of food, the room is dimply lit and atmosphere is very cozy.
- As I have already mentioned, we are having dinner in this picture. What is more, we are talking, discussing some school issues and having fun. Well, it is not shown in the picture, but I had taken it a few seconds before mother brought in a delicious turkey.
- The reason why I keep this photo is because I really love my family and I adore such evenings. We gather together, share some school stories and enjoy ourselves. Another reason for keeping the photo is the opportunity of recollecting those memories any time I need it.
- I wanted to share this picture with you because as far as I know you are going to have some family weekend soon, so I would like to remind you how important and pleasant it is to keep such sweet memories.
- That is all I wanted to say. (Не забудьте про эту фразу, ведь ею вы показываете экзаменатору, что ваш монолог окончен).
Помните, что клише в вашем ответе, который вы натренируете, могут в значительной степени помочь вам. Поэтому давайте потренируемся еще на одном примере.


- So I want to choose photo number 2.
- This photo was taken last summer when I and my father went to our favourite lake to do some fishing during the weekend.
- In the foreground of the picture we can see me and my dad smiling as we have caught the biggest fish I have ever seen. Here I am wearing light clothes as that summer was extremely hot. In the background of the picture we can see an almost deserted beach as only local people know about this place.
- In this picture my father is sitting on his knee while I am standing. We are holding the fish we caught several minutes before. The sun is shining so brightly that my father is wearing sunglasses.
- I decided to keep this photo so that I could remember that amazing weekend and that great experience. I can open it and remember every detail of it any time I want.
- So as you are choosing what to do on the forthcoming weekend, I decided to show you this picture. Maybe you will be inspired to do something like that.
- That is all I wanted to say .
Ну вот, мои дорогие, мы и разобрали такую важную для любого из вас часть экзамена. Что еще я бы хотела добавить, так это напомнить вам о важности постоянной практики и умении контролировать время. В этой части ваше «чувство времени» должно работать как никогда хорошо.
- Чтобы развить это чувство, приобретите учебники-тренажеры по подготовке и выполняйте задания регулярно. Успех вам будет обеспечен! Кстати, специально для тех, кто готовится и готовит к ЕГЭ по английскому языку, я создала специальную страничку с рекомендованной литературой — в частности, в электронном виде.
- А для самого лучшего эффекта найдите компетентного репетитора, который натренирует вас так, что все ваши сомнения и неуверенности перед экзаменом развеются как дым… Кстати, как-то я писала целый обзор о том, как и где искать опытного и квалифицированного репетитора, который подойдет именно вам!
А я хочу напомнить вам, что впереди нас ждет еще много материалов, советов и полезностей, что бы помочь вам справиться с тестом без проблем. Подписывайтесь на рассылку моего блога и вы не пропустите ни одной полезной статьи.
До новых встреч, мои дорогие!
Ниже вы можете подобрать себе репетитора для индивидуальных занятий по английскому и другим предметам.

Надеюсь, Вы знакомы с предыдущей статьёй о задании 3, а это значит, что Вы понимаете, что у любого текста есть вступление, основная часть и заключение.
Вступление здесь:
I want to compare and contrast these two pictures. Далее идём по плану:
- In photo 1 you can see a family setting up a tent somewhere in the forest. In photo 2 there are two people lying in the sun on the seashore.
- On the one hand, these two pictures have some things in common. Firstly, both of them depict a family enjoying nature. Secondly, there is only one adult in each picture.
- On the other hand, these photos have differences. In picture one we can see two children whereas in picture two there is only one. In the second picture the people lying in the sun are relaxed, while in the first picture the family members are concentrated on their action: they are setting up the tent. I think that the family in picture one prefers active holidays whereas the people in picture two prefer to spend their summer time in a relaxed way.
- As for me, I prefer spending my summer holidays actively
- as I enjoy active lifestyle in general. To tell the truth, I really find lying in the sun for a long time boring.
In conclusion, I think that the way a person prefers to spend his or her summer holidays depends on his or her personality. Tastes differ[1]. That’s all for now. Thank you for listening.
На что нужно обратить внимание:
первый пункт плана: здесь выпускники часто забывают назвать либо action, либо location.
Как исправить: можно взять любые фотографии с сайта ФИПИ и проговаривать первые два предложения, пока шаблон не усвоится. It’s a bit dull but helpful.
In picture one I can see a man/woman/girl/boy swimming/running/hiking/ in the sea/ in the park/ in the forest. In picture two there is a person cooking/ doing exercises/ playing volleyball in the kitchen/ in the gym/ at the sports ground.
лексика: недостаток лексики. Из разных источников я слышала мнения о том, что картинки на пробнике в апреле были сложными для описания, поскольку на одной из них был изображён учёный в окружении пробирок.
Задание 4 предполагает высокий уровень владения языком, поэтому, экзаменуемый, конечно, должен знать слово scientist, а вот что касается пробирок и белого халата, то эта лексика уже специфическая и, безусловно, владеют ей не все.
Как исправить: просмотреть картинки с сайта ФИПИ, подумать, какая лексика понадобится для описания каждой. Можно составить себе модуль или несколько для заучивания и повторения необходимой лексики на Quizlet. И активно использовать её для описания фото на практике. Можно готовиться с одноклассником или любым другим study buddy.
(Читайте о том, как проходит экзамен по английскому языку в рамках ЕГЭ-2021 в другой нашей статье, – ред.).
пункт четвёртый: всегда первым делом смотрите на него, так как в нём, по сути, и содержится ответ на вопрос о том, что общего у этих фотографий, и чем они отличаются;
всегда обращайте внимание на то, как этот пункт сформулирован, поскольку, если там написано you’d prefer, а Вы отвечаете I prefer, ответ не будет засчитан. На странице 6 открытого банка заданий ЕГЭ ФИПИ встречается и задание в следующей формулировке: «say which of the celebrations presented in the pictures you preferred as a child», отвечать, соответственно, нужно: when I was a child I preferred… Моя коллега любит повторять: «Вопрос – половина ответа». Не стесняйтесь проговаривать пункты плана. Конечно, отлично будет если Вы сможете их перефразировать. Это было бы замечательно. Но если Вы их повторите, ничего страшного, зато Вы будете знать, что осветили все аспекты плана. О том, что ещё нужно помнить во время устного ответа на экзамене, читайте здесь.
