In this part, candidates are given two photographs and asked to discuss each photo for about a minute, including answering a question about their partner's photo. The example response compares the two photos, describing what is clear and speculating about what is not clear. It then speculates about what the people might be discussing in each photo. The response concludes by answering the question about what is enjoyable about communicating in the ways shown in the photos.
