photographs. After the other candidate has spoken, you also have

30 seconds to respond to what they said

How to get a good mark?

• Make clear which photo you are talking about
• Focus on both photos, rather than just talking about one of them.
• Speculate about what is happening in the photos and how the people are feeling.
