You know, every summer we go to the seaside to have a good rest. So, I took this photo two years ago when our family went to Egypt on summer holidays. It was our first trip abroad.
In the foreground of the photo you can see my little brother Dmitry. He is riding a camel on a sandy beach. He looks very happy because he has never done it before. The camel is covered with bright colourful blanket made of wool. It also has got some funny pompons (decorations) on its head. The day is quite hot and sunny and there are no clouds in the sky. So, not to get sunburnt Dima is wearing a T-shirt.
The sea is very calm. You can notice several snow-white yachts (ships) against the skyline. Every day they take people for offshore excursions where one can watch dolphins and exotic species of fish.
As a rule, I always take a lot of pictures while travelling. I often show them to my friends and relatives to share the best and the most thrilling moments of our journeys. That’s why I keep them in my album.
I was really astonished (impressed, struck) by a funny look of the camel. It seems to me that the animal has got a smiling face. I decided to show this picture to you because I think it might improve your mood. I hope you find it amazing, too.
That is all I wanted to say. (обязательная фраза для экзаменатора, свидетельствующая о завершении коммуникации)

I've chosen photo number 2. (Обязательно начните ответ с этой фразы, предварительно выбрав номер фотографии).
First of all, I should admit that winter is my favourite season and I try to spend a lot of time outdoors when the weather is not very frosty and cold. So, this picture was taken on a wonderful winter day in the local park. I usually go there with my friends at weekends.
Can you guess who is in the photo? Right, in the foreground of the picture you can see my best friends Dasha and Nastya. They are having fun playing snowballs. They are both in a good mood and laughing. In spite of the fact that it is winter, they are wearing light clothes. Nastya is wearing a red tracksuit and a hat that her granny has knitted for her. Dasha prefers to wear jeans wherever she goes. Also, she’s got a trendy white hat.
The ground is covered with plenty of fresh snow. In the background of the picture you can see bare trees which, I hope, don’t spoil the view.
You know, I keep this photo in my album because we are school-leavers and soon we’ll go to study in different towns that’s why I try to capture the best moments we spend together which will remind me of our friendship and school years.
I decided to show this picture to you because I want you to learn how cute my friends are and to tell you how much I will miss them after leaving school (how much they mean for me).
That’s all I wanted to say. (фраза для экзаменатора)
