Bridge: I would like to tell you more about this picture.

What/who is in the photo: In the photo you can see my little sister sitting on my father’s knee.
What is happening: Dad is giving her a present which he bought a couple of weeks before. In the background there is a Christmas tree.
Why you keep the photo in your album: I keep the photo in my album because it reminds me of my darling family. Also the shot is very good.
Why you decided to show the picture to your friend: I decided to show the picture to you because you wanted to see some shots from my holiday. Also I just wanted to share my feelings.
Finishing phrases: I hope you liked my picture. This is all I wanted to say.

Introduction phrase: I have chosen the photo number two.
Legend: Taking photos is my hobby. If I have an opportunity to take a good picture, I never miss it.
Where and when the photo was taken: I took it last summer when I was visiting my uncle and his family in Saint Petersburg.
What/who is in the photo: The people in the photo are my uncle's stepdaughters, whom I tend to call sisters because we treat each other like sisters.
What is happening: At the moment I took the picture they were taking photos of each other. The sister who is standing near the Russian flag is called Anna. She is slim and fit. She is wearing a white blouse what suits her perfectly well and dark trousers. A girl who is taking a photo with her phone is my sister Olga. She is also slender and attractive. She is wearing a dark dress with some coloured patterns. In the background of the photo, there are wonderful buildings in various architectural styles. This photo was taken on board the ship while we were on the boat trip.
Why you keep the photo in your album: My sisters like selfies and prefer portraits if they ask somebody to take a photo of them. Such photos will eventually form a portfolio for their Instagram profiles which my sisters have been planning to collect for a long time. I keep this photo in my album because they look really happy and cute here. I like to see them happy. Why you decided to show the picture to your friend: This is the reason I'm showing you this photo as well. I know you have never been to Saint-Petersburg and you have always wanted to go on a boat trip. Don’t give up on this idea. A lot of positive emotions are waiting for you.
Finishing phrases: I hope you'd get some inspiration from it like I did more than once. That is all I had to say.

This shot was taken by me.
I took the photo in September during my trip to Egypt. It was my first excursion to the local sights of this mysterious country. People in that country are unique in some sense. They wouldn't be able to live in a modern city full of polluting cars and factories. Moreover, their desires and values are incomparable with ours. Most of the people dream to become rich and successful but they mostly care about welfare of their family. That is the priority number one for them. They have their own specific mentality. I wanted to see how they live.
In the foreground of the photo local citizens are going to the river. In the background you can see giant mountains.
I keep the photo in my album because camels look very beautiful. Also it is the only picture from my trip to Egypt.
I showed the photo to you because I was hoping that you would be interested to see my adventure. The photo means a lot to me.
I hope that next holidays we will go to Egypt together. That is all I had to say.

I would like to tell you more about this picture.
I took this photo on the sixth day of our expedition. In the foreground of the picture two men are gathering oranges. The weather on that day was fantastic. We came to the local village to see how people live there. They were very friendly. We hit it off immediately. They were kind enough to invite us to their apartment. One of them even told me the history of this place.
In the photo they are gathering oranges which they use in different ways. We left the village with bags full of ripe oranges.
I keep the photo in my album because it reminds me of those local people who were very kind and friendly. Also the shot is very good.
I showed this picture to you because as I know you are interested in cultures of other people. That is why I thought that this photo may be useful to you.
I hope that you liked the photo. This is all I have to say.

I took the photo in august during my adventure to Africa. I was visiting local parks. We were looking for wild creatures. I had never visited the country before. Also my friends and relatives said that it would be too dangerous to go there. But it didn't stop me after all.
In the background of the picture you can see two hippos. They are just looking at us. In the foreground of the photo tourists are watching on those two giants trying to understand whether they are kind or not. Then they came closer but we had to move forward.
I keep the photo in my album because I’d never seen creatures like these before. They really surprised me.
I decided to show the picture to you because as you told me you're a big lover of wild animals.
Hopefully, I will visit Africa with you! It would be a very exciting trip. This is all wanted to say.

I’ve chosen photo number 2.
As you know, I like taking pictures. Recently I decided to go to New Zealand on the one week trip. The main reason for going there is to explore wild nature.
I took the photo on the first day of our glorious expedition. The photo was made near the local mountains. We walked almost every day and I was very tired.
In the foreground of the photo my friends are going toward the river which is the main source of life there. They are fully equipped with different kinds of things. Breathtaking landscapes made us forget about everything. We were just enjoying the moment watching at these beautiful wonders of nature.
I keep the photo in my album because it illustrates the beauty of nature. And, moreover, I consider it as one of my best shots.
I decided to show the picture to you because as you told me you want to visit New Zealand, too. Probably, you will go in the same area where I was.
So, hopefully, I will go to New Zealand with you next summer. This is all I wanted to say.
