Question

Compare the pictures. Use ideas from the dialogue in Ex. 1. While speaking link your ideas. Use: and, too, as well, whereas, but, on the other hand, etc.

Answer

The photographs show two families. Photograph A shows two parents with one child whereas picture B shows a family with grandparents, parents and two children. Both families look very happy. Being an only child means the girl doesn't have to share her things or room with her brother or sister. On the other hand, having brothers and sisters means they have someone to talk to and hang out with. They have to share things, too.
