1. Saying which picture you’re talking about:

- The picture at the top shows people doing an exercise class.
- In the second photo, there are some people playing tennis.
- In the one at the bottom, there’s a match going on.

- They might / may / could be playing an important final.
- Perhaps / Maybe it’s been a very long match.

3. Comparing the pictures:
- I think the tennis players are fitter than the people in the exercise class.
- Playing tennis like that is more exciting than doing an exercise class.
- These people are moving much more quickly than those people.
4. Contrasting the pictures:
- Tennis is a competitive sport, but an exercise class isn’t.
- An exercise class is usually an indoor activity, while tennis is usually played
outside.
- Those people are playing to win, whereas the others are doing it to get fit.
- They get paid for taking part. On the other hand, these people have to pay to do
this.
- You need a proper court to play tennis. In contrast, you can do this kind of
exercise anywhere.
5. Saying which you’d prefer to do:
- I prefer to do exercise with lots of other people.
- I enjoy fast-moving sports more than slower activities.
- I’d rather do something non-competitive.
- I find racket sports more fun than doing the same exercise again and again.
