Task 6
Well, in the first photo I can see a lady playing in the middle of a tennis match
while the second photo shows a girl doing gymnastics on a river bank. In the same
way, they generate energy when they exercise and I guess they feel very happy.
The lady in the first photo looks like she tries hard to play tennis because I see she
focuses on what she does. The girl in the second photo seems like she enjoys
herself when she does gymnastics because she is relaxed in the photo. In my
opinion, people generate positive energies when they do exercises. That makes
people feel more effective with their health, brain.
Task 7
Well, in the bottom picture I see that a boy is doing some housework while the
girls are chatting with each other; however, a girl in the top picture is playing
skydiving alone and she feels happy. Similarly, they all feel happy when they do
the things they like.
