Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project “Comedy or Horror?”. You have found some photos to illustrate it but for technical reasons you cannot send them now. Leave a voice message to your friend explaining your choice of the photos and sharing some ideas about the project. In 2.5 minutes be ready to:

— explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;

— mention the advantages (1−2) of watching these two types of films;

— mention the disadvantages (1−2) of watching these two types of films;

— express your opinion on the subject of the project – which type of film you’d prefer to watch and why.

You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12−15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
