9th form Photography

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about photography. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).

Remember to say:

• why people like taking pictures
• why taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past
• what the best photo you have ever taken is

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about photography. People have always wanted to capture beautiful images on camera.

I believe people like taking pictures because photos help them to remember and keep in their memory forever the happiest and most important moments they experience in their lives. Also, it’s a great hobby and people spend days searching for perfect spots and they are happy after capturing their unique, breathtaking  photos.

To my mind, taking photos is more popular today than it was in the past because it has become much easier. We have got digital cameras that have simplified the whole process greatly. There is no film in digital cameras you have to develop. So, it saves money as there is no need to go to the photo lab and pay them to get the pictures. The moment you press the button, the photo is ready and you can see it. What’s more, many people have cameras on their mobiles which they use to take photos of everything they like.

Personally I have one really great photo. It was taken last year in Rome. You can see my mother and me in the picture. We are standing near a beautiful fountain in the center of the city. The sun is shining and we are smiling.

In the end I would like to say that photos help us bring back one of the most precious things in life — our memories, which can always be with us when we look at this or that picture.
