Speaking exercise

Describe your favorite photograph:
Where was the photo taken? Who took the photo? What can be seen from the photo? Explain why it is the favorite photograph for you.

I would like to talk about photo taken by my friend. It was a photo taken when fireworks show. It was New Year Firework show in 2021, when we stayed at a hotel. The hotel displayed a fireworks show, my friend stayed at the room and see the firework show thru the window. It was a ski resort, so around the hotel, the mountain was covered with snow. The fireworks lightened up the world. My friend took a photo for this moment, when we back to SH, we checked out the photos we have taken in CBS. This one was a really charming photo, it records our memory. That night, we said goodbye to 2020, and we hope a happy new year for 2021.

We used phones to take photos. When people go for traveling, they want to use camera for more qualified photos. When people want to take photos for a big moment, like wedding or family photo, camera will be better to take more better photos.

I would like to talk about a photo taken by my friend. The photo was taken during the fireworks show. It was the New Year Firework show in 2021 during our stay at CBS. The hotel had a fireworks show, my friend and I stayed at the room and saw/watched the firework show thru the window. It was a ski resort, so the mountains were covered with snow. The fireworks lightened up my world. My friend took a photo of this moment, when we went back to SH, we checked out the photos we had taken in CBS. This one was a really charming photo, it recorded our memory. That night, we said goodbye to 2020, and we hoped a happy new year for 2021.

We used phones to take photos. When people go for traveling, they might want to use a camera for more qualified/ higher resolution photos. When people want to take photos for a big moment, like wedding or family photo, cameras will be a better choice/ option.


I like to talk about Yunnan, which is located in North of China/Northern China. It’s famous for its weather and culture. It’s said that throughout the year, the weather is just like spring, it’s a good place to live. It’s a beautiful place with extraordinary landscapes. If you are a person who really enjoy nature, this area is pretty good. It has a lot of minority groups, so you can learn and know about different cultures.
