In the first picture I can see to many people on the trailway but I can´t see any women because the woman didn´t have many rights and they didn´t used to work out of home. All man of the picture weared suits, also I see some beautiful houses because in that periode the country had many money and the madrids architecturre increased a lot.
In my opinion ,the B picture was taken in the civil war because I can see a town destroyed by a howitzer. This town can be Madrid because I know that many buildings were destroyed by the Nationals airforces. After war life was so difficult for the people who thought in a different way.
In picture A I can see many men in the center of Madrid. The men are very well dressed, as if they were to a wedding.
but in the image I can’t find any woman. I suppose it is because in those times a woman had less rights than a man.
In picture B I see a house completely destroyed and there is nobody in the streets. I suppose it was times of war and destruction
Also when you are describing the house in picture B, I think it would be best to include ‘that is’ because you have used a long adverb and adjective together.
“In picture B I see a house *that is* completely destroyed…”
Finally, when you use “it was”, the noun has to be singular.
“it was *a time* of war and destruction.”
Apart from that, there are no spelling mistakes and it is organised really well! Good job!
Next time, try to include more tenses: present perfect, 2nd conditional (how would you feel if you lived in these times?).
In picture A there are a lot of people in the center of Madrid. I think they are busy because I can see all the people running from one place to another. Everyone wears elegante suits. Although they were in a hurry and also had to work a lot, they lived in peace. However in picture B, I can see all the House destroyed. The Life was very difficult during the Civil War. The bombs devasted the city. Thousands of lives were lost due to the Civil War. In that moment, Life was terrible.
i liked that that you used clear examples and included lots of extra detail. Be careful with capital letters, for example, you don’t need to write ‘Life’ with a capital ‘L’. Also, as you are writing about life in general, you don’t need to put ‘the’. Finally, check your spelling of ‘elegante’.
Think about this question: how would you feel if you were living in these times?
In the first photo I can see a modern city full of street live. People are well dressed and look wealthy, they might be on the way to work, to the cinema or to a restaurant to have dinner with friends. In the second photo I see a devastated city after the bombs. People are afraid of going out. There aren’t stores were they can buy food or other things that they need.

The diference it’s that before the war everyone were together but when that war started that changed and I think that after the war, surely people would not go out on the street, because they haven´t money .

The first picture shows a bussy city, where citizens enyoing a normal day in their lifes. It looks that many of them are going to work as they are wearing their suits.
The second picture shows a city after bombing. It is very sad to see that destruction, devastation and asolation.

The pictures are quite different from each other: meanwhile in photo A we can see what can be considered a normal day: some men taking the tram, they are wearing suits because they are probably going to work, so it’s seems everything’s fine with their lives, in photo B we can only see destruction and chaos. It perfectly shows the consequences of any war: devastation, death, sadness…The last things any country should ever live.
In picture A, I can see a city where people wait for the tram. It must be Madrid because they are at Puerta del Sol. Maybe people in this photo, go to work, have their routines and have enough money to live.
In picture B, I can see a destroyed city. It can be destroyed by the consequences of the Civil War. In this photo, there are no people, because they might be afraid of war.

Obviously, people always live worse during any war. Between all of them, the most horrible are always the civil ones. In many cases the fight is even between brothers.

I think that both pictures have been taken in a city which I don’t know. However, one was taken during the Second Republic and expresses how was the life; so I can see, because of the photo which was a very pacific stage on Spain. At the contrary, the other photo is the result of a battle of the half of the country against the other half. This situation divided many families. This photo also shows what were the consequences of the war, such us the dead of many people in the war. Finally, with regard to the life, I think that it wasn’t very calm.
That is my point of view.
Hi Darìo,
I like that you shared your thoughts about what was occurring at the time in each photo. I would like you to try and make more specific comparisons between the two photos. For example, what from picture 2 makes you think that life wasn’t calm? Also, what about picture 1 makes you think life was calm? Try to use more of the photos with this 🙂
Also:
Pacific (is an Ocean) —> Specific
At the contrary —> On the contrary
“dead of many” —> death of many
In picture A I can see a lot of people that ha like in a great life with a republic, the second republic. However in picture B I can see damage streets. I think in that time there was an economic crisis and the life was difficult for the population. I think our economy has improve a lot but now after this war against the coronavirus our economy probably will fail.
I thing that in picture number 1 they are in peace, they are quiet, but in picture number 2 the buldings are destroyed and I can’t see people in de road.
I thing that after a war, for example the civil war people are not the same and they can’t be like before the war.
I would like you to expand your ideas more.
What are the people doing in picture A?
Why/ how were the buildings destroyed in picture B?
How would you feel if you were living in this time?
Check your work for punctuation. Remember to read through your work to see when you need to pause or stop.
I think picture b is very diferent than picture a, because I can see in picture b many houses or whatever are in the floor destroyed, must be the problems of civil war. But, in picture a there are people who are walking very “calm” and normal, there is not problems in that picture than in the other. In conclusion, picture a, people had a good way of life but, in picture b hadn’t.
I think that in picture letter a Pople had a good live but when the civil war started people didn’t has a good live .
In my opinión wars are bad and we have to stop all wars people would like it
If i were in picture letter b, i wou,d stay in my house.
I think in picture A the live was better for people of middle class and upper class, and people live quiet. Most of the people of picture A have food and a house.
In picture B no one was happy or in peace people doesn t have food,people die and most of business were destroyed .
I think that in the first photo there are too many people because I think they are doing a show or taking something together.
And in the second photo I think it seems all destroyed by the civil war.
These are good ideas, but I would like some more detail. What could the people be talking about in picture A? How would you feel if you were living in this time?
In picture (a) I can see a normal city with people taking a normal life.
The estructures from the city are in good contitions.
However the picture (b) shows completly the opposite. It’s a city but is destroyed because of the Civil War.There isn’t people walking trough streets or cars and trains oassing trough the city.
These are very good descriptions. Could you give an example of what a ‘normal life’ was like in picture A? How would you feel if you were living in these times?
Spelling:
estructures= structures
contitions= conditions
completly= completely
oassing= passing
trough= through
Please check your work for spelling mistakes next time!
I think in the picture A they lived in peace and calm, but in the image B it is just the opposite. Everthing is destroyed, I think because of the civil war because lots of Spanish territories were destroyed and the people from the citys left them.
The civil war was an unestable moment for the people of the citys. They were in real danger.
You make some good observations and add lots of extra detail about the Civil War. Can you describe what the people are doing in picture A? Or make a guess? How would you feel if you were living in these times?
Be careful, when you write a word ending in -y and need to change it to a plural, you need to change the -y to -ies
It is clear that both pictures have been taken in a city. However, the situation of each city was different; In picture A the people are moving around in public transport or by foot while In picture B there’s no one in the streets. This fact must be because of the destruction: the buildings have fallen appart, everything is in ruins and there is dirt everywhere. It seems to have been victim of a war. If I had to choose between these photos, I would choose photo A because it seem that the people living there can aim for a better life. However, I also feel sorry for the people that must have lost their house in picture B.
This is a very thorough description, well done! I also like your use of connectors, they really help the sentences to flow. How would you feel if you were living during these times?
Just be careful with the phrase ‘victim of war’. We would usually use this when talking about people, not buildings.
I think that picture A was when the ecomy were growing, tourist come into Spain…Those times were better than picture B when the Civil War were destroying things. Directed by Francisco Franco, Nacionalists had more soldiers than Republicans that only had 30% of Nacionalist soldiers. The civil war finished when thre Nationalists won after two years of fighting.
I liked the extra details you gave about the event; you obviously know a lot about history! There needs to be more description for these photos. What are the people doing in picture A? How would you feel if you were living in this time?
Remember to read through your work to check for spelling mistakes.
I think that in the picture (A) People lived better than in the picture (B), because i see a disaster.Many houses are destroyed.However if wars didn’t exist, people would live better.
These are good observations, however I would like to see more detail. What are the people doing in picture A? How would you feel if you were living in this time?
Remember to use a capital I when talking about yourself.
On one hand in picture A, I can see many people in a trolley camp. I think people in picture A,lived better because it could be in the second republic and before the Civil War nothing was distroyed .
One the other hand in picture number 2, I can see a big house detroyed. I think it was destroyed because it could be in the Civil War in that period if you didn’t like nationalists they exploited your house
These are good comparisons. Can you add more description about what the people are doing in picture A? What is a trolley camp? How would you feel if you were living in this time?
Remember to check your spelling!!
distroyed/ detroyed= destroyed
exploited is a false friend. I would say ‘bombed’ instead
In the first photo I can see many people in a normal live, that photo could been taken before the Civil War, but in the second photo I can see many buildings that are destroyed, nobody is in streets, that photo must been taken after the Civil War.
The Civil War was one of the most destroying wars ever. Spain was divided in two side: the nationalist and the republicans. The nationalists who supported Francisco Franco and the republicans who supported the second republic.
I liked the extra detail you gave at the end to explain to the reader. what the Civil War was. Can you explain what was ‘a normal life’ according to picture A and how that changed in picture B? How would you feel if you were there?
Spelling:
live= life
live is the verb, ‘I live in Alcalá’, life is the noun ‘my life has changed since I moved to Alcalá.’
MSM 6ºA
In picture A I can see a very civilized city. I think that this picture is before the civil war because the pIn people seens to be very quiet, without danger.
Althougth, in picture B it shows one house in ruins. It might be cause of the shellings in the Civil War. Living in this period would be chaotic. Based in my family expirence, live in poswar was very dificult with robberies in the houses, schools, churches and many hungry in general.
I liked that you used your own family’s experiences to imagine what it was like to live in that time. Can you explain what the people are doing in picture A? How do you think they are feeling?
Spelling:
Althougth= Although
expirence=experience
poswar= post-war
dificult= difficult
Grammar:
Remember if you are describing a verb (live) then the easiest thing to do is to change it to a gerund.
“living in post-war was very difficult”
To make your English sound more natural, instead of ‘many hungry’, we would say ‘lots of hungry people”.
HR6ºA
In the picture A I see many people walking andm some people are in the tramp number 4. The type of life in the picture A was normal and the people maybe go o his work or to buy something.
In picture B Ithink that is the post war afther the nationalist won the war. The hause is completily destroid. the civil war destroyed many parts of Spain.Spain was in crisis and people was desesperated and the life in Spain was very hard.
Hi HR!
I like that you have given specific examples from the photos to make comparisons! What other things in the photos can you use as examples to make other comparisons? Also be sure to read over you writing before, some mistakes you can notice on your own! please revise over the following errors:
“andm”
“maybe go”–> may be going to
“Ithink”
“hause”–>house
“desesperated”–> hopeless
in the first photo (a) i see they are before the civil war and all the citizens lived in peace and calm.but in the other photo (b) it might be after the war i can see the destruction of houses people that have lost its houses and their shops they couldn´tbuy food and there were famines. in conclusion if i had to live in that time,the present would become very small.
Hi Claudia!
I like that you gave examples from photo B to support your statement about it being after the war! What about the first photo makes you think the citizens were living in peace, use examples from the photos to support your statement. Remember your punctuation, the beginning of a paragraph/sentence should Always have a capital letter, also “i” should be capitalized. Let the photos help you make more comparisons!
NSD 6ºB In picture A, their lifes seem busy because there are many people in the photo running from one place to another. Everybody is wearing very elegant suits and some are wearing hats. However, in picture B, the photo shows one of the streets of that place destroyed and seems that nobody is leaving in the houses behind the amount of wood pieces. In this picture seems that the life was very difficult because there wasn’t probably a restinction of wars. Eventhough, it seems that in picture A, there was already a restinction of wars. In both pictures, there are houses in the background, but in picture letter B, they are destroyed and the ones in picture A they aren’t,they are taller than the ones in letter B too.
Hi NSD!
Very good comparisons of the two different pictures! I like that you have provided specific examples from each photo and compared them to each other. Instead of saying their “lifes seem busy” we would say, “their lives seem busy”!
In the first photo, I think that most of the people might have a stable life, because they all are living in peace.
But in the second photo most of the people that are there must be living in terrible conditions, because of the war, the destroy constructions, and because you have more probabilities to die.
Hi Noa!
I like the comparisons that you have mentioned! What examples can you give from the first photo that might show the people are living a stable life? Just like you did with the second photo!
I thing that they lived beter in picture A. In that age (that was called reformist etape ) the economy was rising up and spain was in a constant evolution of rights, schools, colective teaching…..
In picture B…. This age is the civl war I thing . It could be a republician city or a nacionalist but what seems very obius is that people have fighted there. They lived in a constant fighting, nacionalist had the best soilders while republicians picked voluntary soilders for fighting, the civil war finished with the victory of the nacionalists.
Hi DS!
In what ways do you think they lived better in picture A? Support you statement with examples. Also, practice comparing the photos to eachother for example, in picture A there are many people in the street however in picture B there are fewer people. Please read over you writing and look for spelling mistakes:
“I thing”—>
“etape” —> this is a Spanish word, you can use word reference to look for the word in English!
“fighted”–> fought

“In picture B no one was happy or in peace. People didn’t have food.”
Spelling:
live=life
live is the verb, life is the noun.
How would you feel if you were living in this time?

I think that in the first photo there are too many people because I think they are doing a show or taking something together.
And in the second photo I think it seems all destroyed by the civil war.

I think in the picture A they lived in peace and calm, but in the image B it is just the opposite. Everthing is destroyed, I think because of the civil war because lots of Spanish territories were destroyed and the people from the citys left them.
The civil war was an unestable moment for the people of the citys. They were in real danger.

Hi dronix08,
You make some good observations and add lots of extra detail about the Civil War. Can you describe what the people are doing in picture A? Or make a guess? How would you feel if you were living in these times?
Be careful, when you write a word ending in -y and need to change it to a plural, you need to change the -y to -ies
“people from the cities”
Good effort! 🙂

It is clear that both pictures have been taken in a city. However, the situation of each city was different; In picture A the people are moving around in public transport or by foot while In picture B there’s no one in the streets. This fact must be because of the destruction: the buildings have fallen appart, everything is in ruins and there is dirt everywhere. It seems to have been victim of a war. If I had to choose between these photos, I would choose photo A because it seem that the people living there can aim for a better life. However, I also feel sorry for the people that must have lost their house in picture B.

Hi JDH!
This is a very thorough description, well done! I also like your use of connectors, they really help the sentences to flow. How would you feel if you were living during these times?
Just be careful with the phrase ‘victim of war’. We would usually use this when talking about people, not buildings.
Overall, excellent job! 🙂

I think that picture A was when the ecomy were growing, tourist come into Spain…Those times were better than picture B when the Civil War were destroying things. Directed by Francisco Franco, Nacionalists had more soldiers than Republicans that only had 30% of Nacionalist soldiers. The civil war finished when thre Nationalists won after two years of fighting.

The Civil War was one of the most destroying wars ever. Spain was divided in two side: the nationalist and the republicans. The nationalists who supported Francisco Franco and the republicans who supported the second republic.

I liked the extra detail you gave at the end to explain to the reader. what the Civil War was. Can you explain what was ‘a normal life’ according to picture A and how that changed in picture B? How would you feel if you were there?
Spelling:
live= life
live is the verb, ‘I live in Alcalá’, life is the noun ‘my life has changed since I moved to Alcalá.’

In picture A I can see a very civilized city. I think that this picture is before the civil war because the pIn people seens to be very quiet, without danger.
Althougth, in picture B it shows one house in ruins. It might be cause of the shellings in the Civil War. Living in this period would be chaotic. Based in my family expirence, live in poswar was very dificult with robberies in the houses, schools, churches and many hungry in general.

Hi Manuel,
I liked that you used your own family’s experiences to imagine what it was like to live in that time. Can you explain what the people are doing in picture A? How do you think they are feeling?
Spelling:
Althougth= Although
expirence=experience
poswar= post-war
dificult= difficult
Grammar:
Remember if you are describing a verb (live) then the easiest thing to do is to change it to a gerund.
“living in post-war was very difficult”
To make your English sound more natural, instead of ‘many hungry’, we would say ‘lots of hungry people”.
In general: very good work! 🙂

Hi HR!
I like that you have given specific examples from the photos to make comparisons! What other things in the photos can you use as examples to make other comparisons? Also be sure to read over you writing before, some mistakes you can notice on your own! please revise over the following errors:
“andm”
“maybe go”–> may be going to
“Ithink”
“hause”–>house
“desesperated”–> hopeless

I like that you gave examples from photo B to support your statement about it being after the war! What about the first photo makes you think the citizens were living in peace, use examples from the photos to support your statement. Remember your punctuation, the beginning of a paragraph/sentence should Always have a capital letter, also “i” should be capitalized. Let the photos help you make more comparisons!

NSD 6ºB In picture A, their lifes seem busy because there are many people in the photo running from one place to another. Everybody is wearing very elegant suits and some are wearing hats. However, in picture B, the photo shows one of the streets of that place destroyed and seems that nobody is leaving in the houses behind the amount of wood pieces. In this picture seems that the life was very difficult because there wasn’t probably a restinction of wars. Eventhough, it seems that in picture A, there was already a restinction of wars. In both pictures, there are houses in the background, but in picture letter B, they are destroyed and the ones in picture A they aren’t,they are taller than the ones in letter B too.

I thing that they lived beter in picture A. In that age (that was called reformist etape ) the economy was rising up and spain was in a constant evolution of rights, schools, colective teaching…..
In picture B…. This age is the civl war I thing . It could be a republician city or a nacionalist but what seems very obius is that people have fighted there. They lived in a constant fighting, nacionalist had the best soilders while republicians picked voluntary soilders for fighting, the civil war finished with the victory of the nacionalists.

In what ways do you think they lived better in picture A? Support you statement with examples. Also, practice comparing the photos to eachother for example, in picture A there are many people in the street however in picture B there are fewer people. Please read over you writing and look for spelling mistakes:
“I thing”—>
“etape” —> this is a Spanish word, you can use word reference to look for the word in English!
“fighted”–> fought
