SAMPLE.

1.      Our lifestyle has changed dramatically in recent years.

2.      People have become very mobile.

3.      They visit remote places and commute to work every day.

4.      That is why transportation undoubtedly plays an essential role in people’s lives.

5.      These two pictures show modern means of transport.

6.      The first picture depicts a big sea liner standing in the harbour and in the second picture you can see a very busy motorway with a lot of cars standing in the traffic jam.

7.      Both pictures have some things in common.

8.      To start with, the weather in both pictures is quite good.

9.      I suppose it must be summer as it is the best season for travelling.

10.  Then, in both pictures we can see means of transport.

11.  What is more, both means of transportation are rather popular with people who are travelling long distances.

12.  However, the pictures are different.

13.  Firstly, I would like to point out that in the first picture there is a liner while in the second picture there are a lot of cars.

14.  Secondly, in the first picture people are expecting the ship to leave the port while in the second picture people are in their cars driving to reach their place of destination. 

15.  Thirdly, in the first picture the action takes place in the port while in the second picture we can see the motorway.

16.  As for me, I would prefer to travel long distances by ship( ВАШ ВЫБОР ИЗ ЭТИХ ДВУХ) rather than by car( ВАШ ВЫБОР) because ( ВАШ ПЕРВЫЙ АРГУМЕНТ С ДОКАЗАТЕЛЬСТВОМ).

17.  One more reason is that ( ВАШ ВТОРОЙ АРГУМЕНТ).

18.  As you see, the choice of a means of transport depends on one’s preferences and the cost.

19.                      That’s all.
