Как сравнить две фотографии по шаблону
(задание С4)
Одно дело владеть английским языком, другое дело выучить стандартные фразы и научиться употреблять их в подходящей ситуации. Что же, второе — одна из ступенек по лестнице наверх «up to the top» и, так как ЕГЭ по английскому языку — это стандартизированный экзамен, то в этой статье мы поговорим о том, как сравнить две фотографии согласно требованиям этого экзамена.
Станда́рт (от англ. standard — норма, образец) в широком смысле
слова — образец, эталон, модель, принимаемые за исходные для сопоставления с ними др. подобных объектов.
Иными словами, стандарт — это определенный шаблон, по которому Вас оценивают эксперты. Отступление от стандарта грозит Вам лишением баллов. Да, печально, но уже со школьной скамьи приучают нас быть одинаковыми, стандартными, иначе… Ну да ладно, перейдем ближе к делу, а именно к сравнению двух фотографий на английском языке. Данное задание (задание 4) относится к высокому уровню сложности и содержит много подводных камней, которые надо обойти. Вот пример сравнения двух фотографий, которое, кажется, вполне нормальным с точки зрения здравого смысла, но содержит ошибки с точки зрения стандарта.

Прочитайте внимательно это описание:
Well, both pictures show an animal, the bear. I would like to start with the first picture that shows a big polar bear in the zoo. The bear is sitting on a stone with its paws up. It is not looking at people, it looks aside and it seems that it is tired of so much attention. A lot of people have gathered near the open-air cage, taking pictures. As the people are wearing warm coats and caps, it is probably late autumn. The colours in this picture are grey and dark.
As for the second picture, it also shows a bear, but it is a brown bear. It is completely different from the first one as it shows the bear in the wild. In contrast to the first picture, the second one is full of bright colours: yellow flowers, green grass. It shows a summer day. The bear is busy, it is carrying a log. I like this picture more and not only because I like summer but also because I believe that keeping wild animals in zoos is inhuman. Although some people say that it is necessary for some educational purposes, to say nothing of entertaiment.
All in all, both pictures make me think of wildlife. As for me, I am sure that wild animals should live free in their natural habitat because they are part of nature.
