U3. Look at the photos

Дата публикации: Apr 13, 2014 5:18:59 AM

Look at the photographs and say what you think the relationship between the people might be and how good the relationship seems to be.

In the first picture I can see two young women.

It looks to me that they are quite close friends because they let each other to step in the private space of one another.

In the second picture I can see three women in a cafe.

I get the impression that they are collegues or classmates who dropped in a cafe by the way from the office or the school.

I suppose that they are rather acquaintances than close friends because they sit and communicate with each other rather formal without crossing the border of their private spaces in opposition to the two girls in the first picture.

In third picture I can see three person in a subway car.

It seems that there is an evening and they’re all coming to home but no one of them feels comfortably.

There is too tight to sit freely.

Furthermore, the guy in the left fell asleep and took the girl’s shoulder as a pillow.

Everybody doesn’t want to let the others to get into one’s private space but they have to because of the cram.

Hence, they are very sad and tired and want to be home as soon as possible.
