I’ve chosen photo number one.
● introduction
Taking photos is my hobby. If I have an opportunity to take a good picture, I never miss it. I have a picture to show you.
● where and when the photo was taken
This photo was taken a few years ago in a park not so far from my house. I go there quite often.
● what / who is in the photo
In the photo you can see my cousin Liza. She is slim and fit. She is wearing the red t-shirt that suits her perfectly well and dark trousers. Her arms are bent at her elbows. In the background of the photo there are wonderful tall green trees.
● what is happening
Liza is jogging in the park and she is smiling. The sun is shining through the trees. The weather is perfect for jogging.
● why you keep the photo in your album
I keep this photo in my album because she looks really happy and cute here. I like to see her happy.
● why you decided to show the picture to your friend
You know, I've decided to show you this picture because you once told me that you would like to jog with someone but you don’t have a partner. I thought that she could make a good partner and you could jog together.
● conclusion
Now you know how Liza looks. Hope you will enjoy jogging with her.
That’s all I wanted to say.
