Do you like taking photos?
I do actually. I love taking photos when I’m on holiday or when I attend special events. My phone is full of holiday snaps and selfies with various friends. However, my favourite thing to take photos of is my niece. She’s only 2 years old, and I love the idea of capturing moments of her as she grows older. It will be so fun to show her these photos when she becomes a teenager.

Comments

  1. I do actually. I love taking photos of wildlife. My phone is full of snaps of different animals what I see in Italy and when I go on holiday. My favouritest is a photo I take of a lion in Africa.

    1. “I do actually. I love taking photos of wildlife. My phone is full of snaps of different animals that I see in Italy and when I go on holiday. My favorite is a photo I took of a lion in Africa.”

      Your answer is great! Just a couple of corrections:
      – Change “what” to “that” to make the sentence clearer.
      – “Favoritest” is not a proper word. Instead, use “favorite.”
      – The last sentence should be “My favorite is a photo I took of a lion in Africa.”

  2. For sure! Because I reckon photographs are meaningful to record our real life. Take my family photos as an example, one of the most my favourite one is my family photo there was four of us in, my parents and my sister and me, at that time I think I was about 2 years old, so mum was holding sister, an 8 was in my father`s arm,and felt so safe I believe. The reason why I think this picture is precious is we can not go back even though I had no any impression at that moment, but I can recognise the place where did we taken it. I upload it on my iPad now , so that I could find it out when I am missing my family.

      Great job overall! Just a few corrections to make your answer even better. Keep up the good work!

  3. Well, it depends in who I am with. For example, I’d like to reckon photos with my best friends and my siblings. I feel comfortable when taking funny pictures with them. And I love to see these photos whenever I miss them.

    1. Well done! Your answer is quite good. Just a few small corrections:

      “Well, it depends on who I am with. For example, I like to take photos with my best friends and my siblings. I feel comfortable when taking funny pictures with them. And I love to see these photos whenever I miss them.”

      Keep up the good work! Is there anything else you would like help with?
