Picture comparison

• give a brief description of the photos (action, location)
• say what the pictures have in common
• say in what way the pictures are different
• say which of the ways of shopping presented in the pictures you’d prefer
• explain why

Action / Location

The photos show the ways of shopping. In the photographs there is buying things online and in a traditional supermarket.

We can see somebody ordering or have ordered things on a website being at home or in the office in one picture and the woman choosing vegetables in the supermarket in the other one.

Similarities

• One thing the photographs have in common is a trolley for putting purchases.
• Another similar thing is the way of payment . It doesn’t matter which shop you use, a real or a virtual one, you can pay with a card.
• Both of them introduce the possibilities of choosing what to buy.

Differences

• You carry your shopping in a carrier bag when you visit the supermarket. By online shopping you have the goods brought to your home.
• There aren’t any people in one picture whereas we can see a customer shopping in the supermarket in the other one.

• Unlike the website, you can see, touch and smell the products in the supermarket.
• Internet shopping is usually cheaper.
• Most shops aren’t open 24 hours a day.

I’d prefer

• traditional shopping to shopping online… ( I see it as a means of taking down stress and raising my spirits).

• shopping on websites to visiting real shops. I like doing it in comfort without being distracted.

• I like trying things on and choosing what suits me best.  
• I would like to rely on shop assistant’s help.

• I can’t bear standing a queue at the cash desk.
• Neither would I like to carry heavy carrier bags to my home.
