  2. The both pictures show equestrian sport. The man in the first picture he look as ifhe just win a horse-riding competition he also is celebrating with a crowd of people whereas the second picture look like a jockey practice while the man seems to be celabrating only with his horse. Although both of them have a horse, one horse is white the other is black.

  3. In these pictures we can see different activities with horses. In the first one, we can see a very happy man, perhaps he is a jockey who is celebrating a victory, probably has won a horse-riding competition and the people around it are carrying him to receive the award. While the second picture, there is a man or young man alone with his horse, he seems to be resting after a show jumping, or is likely to be a place where kids do equine therapy.

    *HORSES*
    In this pictures I can see that there are two boys with your respective horses.
    The picture on the left shows a young man that I think he's celebrating a achievement because he seems to be very happy and proud of himself! Maybe he has won a horse-riding competition or maybe he has played hockey with your team.
    There are people celebrating with him. They seems to be happy for the achievement. Maybe they're fanatic of the team and I think that they are in a park outside of the city.
    On the other hand the picture on the right shows a teenager that hugging his horse for the photograph but I think that he's taking a equine therapy in a park or a stable with your teacher or professional person that knows about it.
    He seems to be enjoy this moment... I think that it's a great activity for him.
    I think that people feel strong with the horses because they're strong. So if they're strong you're strong. Probably people copy the style of life of them. I think that is very interesting for the person and for the animal because each part receive something, that it to say, form a unit to both or a strong link together.
    *GIFTS*
    In this pictures I can see that there are people doing different activities.
    The picture on the left shows a little boy with your father or maybe with your brother. I think that they are wrapping a present for a special person because they have a nice picture frame in their hands.
    On the other hand the picture on the right shows a beautiful woman that I think she's receiving a bouquet because this day (maybe) is her anniversary of wedding. Maybe the husband bought the flowers and the greetings card for she.
    They seem too happy because they are doing something very special for someone although the woman is receiving her surprise whereas the boy and his father are wrapping a present for someone.
    Other thing that for me is very important is the place because the woman could be at work and the boy with his father at home.
    I think that give or receive a gift is very important for a person because for me shows how important you are and how much this person loves you.

  6. In both cases we can notice pictures of equestian sports. In the first seems to be a competition show exhibition, wile in the second one is a horse riding competition. Although the feelings they´re exptresing are in the two cases happiness. Whereas one of the men´s celebrating a grate performance, the other only seems to be really confortable about his fellow and enjoying one o one time with him.
    However there´re a few differences at first sight, like the colour of the horses or the the jockeys in reference to their size, one seems shorter than the other.
    In reference to the question, this people might feel so close to their horses because of a strong affection and attachment for them; considering that they certainly spend a lot of time together.

    ( What makes people happy about giving or receiving gifts? )

    Well, in the first picture I can see a child with his dad, maybe. They`re wrapping a present which is a picture frame. It could be for Mother`s Day, whereas the other picture shows a woman who is focused on a greetings card and it seems to be that she has received a bouquet of flowers as a gift,which might be because of her wedding anniversary.
    In both pictures seems to be that people are at home and they`re really concentrated on what they are doing.
    I think that giving gifts makes us happy because we hope other people to like the presents. In that way you think you were able to choose the most suitable thing for that special person, and you feel proud of yourself.
    Otherwise, people who receive gifts feel happy because of the fact that it means you are important for other people and they always remember you.

    ( What might make these people feel so strongly about their horses? )

    Both pictures show people who are keen on equestrian sports, that`s why they are with their horses and wearing helmets.
    In the first photo I can see a guy who seems to be celebrating a thriumph, maybe because he has just won a horse-riding competition. The boy and the horse are surrounded by many people who are stroking the animal.
    Diferently, the horse and the guy in picture 2 are alone. Maybe they are used to play jockey together. They seem to get on well, what they would have achieved with some equine theraphy before and after the game, I think.
    Apparently, the guy who is celebrating feels so strongly with his horse because it has done well during the competition, whereas the boy on the other picture looks as if he`s reaaly proud of his animal and he seems to have a strong feeling towards it, so that, it is so important for him.

  13. In the first picture I can see a father and his son. They seem to be preparing and wrapping a present for a member of the family. They look very consentreted but at the same time they are seem to be having a good moment together. Finally I can say that In the picture frame the is a beautiful dog..
    In the second picture there is a women who has receive a bouquet of flowers. she looks suprising and happy with the litlle card in it. This beautiful present could be a gift for her aniversary day.

    I think giving presents make people happy, althoug spending time with the person who we love is more importante in a special day.

  14. What makes people happy about giving or receiving gifts?
    In the first picture I can see a father and his son wrapping a present for someone birthday. The present is a picture frame.
    And in the other picture is a woman receiving a bouquet with a greetings card for his anniversary. I think that is the perfect gift for a wife.
    In both pictures, I think they look very focused in the gifts and very happy.
    The differences are that in the first one they are preparing a gift to give while in the other she is receiving one.
    What make happy of these actions is that shows people interested in others.

  15. I think that both pictures shows love for horses or equestrian sport. In the first one I can see a man probably a jockey, who wins a horse riding competition and in the second one shows a girl hugging a horse. Both of them are using a helmet.
    The differences are that she is doing equine therapy and in the other he is with a lot of people enjoying an achievement
    What make these people feel so strongly about their horses is that both feel proud of them and also have confident on those animals

  16. Gifts.
    In both pictures I can see people with a gift. In the first one there is a man with his son wrapping a present, maybe for a parent or a special person because they have a nice picture frame in their hands while in the second there is a woman who is receiving a bouquet for his anniversary.
    The differences are that they are doing different activities. In the first picture they are preparing a present whereas in the other the woman is receiving one maybe for her anniversary.
    What makes people happy of giving or receiving a gifts is that shows how much you loves someone or how much important you are.
    Horses.
    What make these people feel so strongly about their horses is that they feel proud of them and have a special relation.
    In the first picture there is a man probably enjoying an achievement probably of a show jumping and in the second I can see a girl who is hogging a horse and doing equine therapy. Both look like if they are jockeys because they are using a helmet.
    The different is that in the first he looks happy and there is with a lot of people while in the second the girl is more calm and she is alone with her horse.

  17. What makes people happy about giving or receiving gifts?
    The special of those actions is that represent what people do in special occasions and how we demonstrate care about someone. That it makes people happy about giving or receiving gift.
    In the first picture there is a boy with his father o maybe his older brother wrapping a present for a member of their family, because they have a picture frame in which appear a little dog while the other picture shows a woman smiling, and in her hands she has a bouquet and a greeting card may be for a birthday or her wedding anniversary.
    The differences between both pictures are in the first one they are preparing a gift whereas in the other she is receiving one.

    What might make these people feel so strongly about their horses?
    Both pictures show people who love horses. I think they are keen on horses because they feel passion on those animals and they might have strong feelings about they do with them.
    In the first one, there is a man on his horse and a lot of people around him. It seems that they are enjoying an achievement, may be for winning a horse-riding competition or a show jumping, perhaps. While in the second one, there is a woman who is on his white horse, she is hugging it, and it seems she is doing equine therapy with it, because they are very calm. Both jockeys are using helmets.
    The differences of both pictures are that, in the first one looks like a competition because of the amount of people whereas in the second one she is more close with the animal, just calm and enjoying the moment.

    - What makes people happy about giving or receiving gifts?
    The people are happy when they give or receive gifts because it is one of the ways to demonstrate love or affection about someone, and the same to other for you.
    In the first picture there is a little boy and a man, probably his father. They are preparing and wrapping a present for give it to a special person for them. They look concentrate and taking a lot of care about what they are doing. While in the other picture there is a woman smiling and looking happy because she receives a bouquet probably for her wedding anniversary or her birthday. She looks focus on the greeting card, which came with the gift.
    The differences between both pictures are whereas she’s receiving, they are preparing a gift.


    - What might make these people feel so strongly about their horses?
    In my opinion these people feel so strongly about their horses because they have a special relation and they love what they do with them, also horses give them security.
    In both pictures I can see that the boys practice equestrian sports. Both of them look like jockeys because they are wearing a helmet.
    In the first one there is a man, celebrating with a lot of people behind him, maybe he wins a horse-riding competition or a show jumping with his horse.
    In the second picture there is a boy hugging his horse probably doing equine therapy.

  19. What makes people happy about giving or receiving gifts?

    I can see in the first picture a man and his son or maybe his nephew trying to wrap a very nice picture frame. I believe that they made it with their own hands. So, if it is a present the little boy will include a greetings card.
    In the second pic it is a woman who has already received a gift, an amazing bouquet. she looks like grateful with someone special for her.
    In my opinion those presents are perfect for women in an anniversary or an special day.


    What might make these people feel so strongly about their horses?
    In both pictures I see that showed equestrian sports, but horses are used for differents activities. Almost in the two photos, jockeys must been using helmets, the first man on the left is feeling so powerful and energetic,he seems like he had just won a horse-riding competition.
    The man on the right differently, it is looking so laid-back. In this case equine therapy helped a lot disabled people. For example, show jumping it is one of the methods used to make people more confidents with their own.

  20. Once again, congratulations on your work! I've noticed how you've made very good use of the vocabulary provided, such as 'bouquet,' 'wrap', 'equine therapy', etc. I've also seen good use of connectors to express contrast like 'whereas', 'while' and instances of your own vocabulary, such as 'amazing', 'achievement', 'calm', 'take care about something,' You have addressed the two questions provided to make a very complete description.
    Notice the use of some words or expressions. For example 'concentrate' should only be used as a verb: 'She has never concentrated on her studies.'
    Also, revise the use of 'look as if', 'look like'. I still see there are some problems with them.
    Thanks for participating so actively.
