【正确答案】Picture 1
Candidate A: In this picture, there is a boy sitting at the table, writing a letter to someone, may be his parents. He has a lot of things to say to his parents and, he misses them very much. He has finished the letter and it certainly is a long one, for we can see there are two pages. He's got the envelope ready on the table.
This is a good way; those who receive your letters can keep your letters for a long time. When they read the letters again it seems that they can touch you through the paper. There are different ways of communication in our life such as phoning, sending E-mails or other ways of telecommunications. But writing letters has its advantages: you can express yourself in an emotional way by writing down the words you want to say to you friends. When you talk through phone, you can seldom save the words you are talking. But you can keep the letters as long as you like. When we think of our friends, we may read the letters again and again. What's more, writing letters can exercise the handwriting, and practice the ability of writing.
Candidate B: Do you think writing letters to friends is becoming less- popular, why?
Picture 2
Candidate B: This picture shows that a girl is talking on a phone. She is talking to her Mum and she says: "Hi, Mum!" She must be working in some place far away from her mother and now she misses her mother very much or has some happy things to tell her. She is talking loudly and happily.
