10. Comparing the pictures
Main similarities
between the two
pictures
Well, both these pictures show people in successful situations.
Describe the
pictures
In picture A the audience is clapping the rock group, so the
performance has been a success. The performers look happy.
Picture B is a picture of someone getting a degree or diploma or
something. So they must have passed the exams.
Main differences
between the two
pictures
I suppose the main difference between the pictures is that the
second one is an example of academic success, whereas the first
picture shows success in the performance. Another difference is that
in picture A a group of people have been successful together. In
picture B the person has been successful on their own.
