Hi! I’ve found two photos for our project on preparing for exams. The first photo shows a girl sitting at a desk and studying by herself at home. She is using a laptop and taking notes in a notebook. The second photo shows four students preparing for exams together in a library. They are reading books and discussing something at a table. These photos are suitable for our project because they show two different ways of studying. In the first picture, the girl can concentrate better and work at her own pace. However, she cannot immediately ask anybody for help if she has a problem. In the second picture, the students can support one another and exchange ideas. On the other hand, studying in a group can be distracting and some students may spend too much time chatting. Personally, I prefer preparing for exams in somebody’s company because I find it motivating and useful to discuss difficult topics. That’s all for now; I hope you like these photos.
