Comparing and Contrasting

Our modern lifestyle is very stressful as we live in a hectic pace of a modern city. That`s why holidays play an important role in people`s lives. We appreciate them for giving us a short break and choose  the best way to spend our free time.

These two pictures show us different types of holidays. The first picture depicts some people admiring an archaeological site, it might be a temple. In picture B  I can see a holidaymaker in a  luxurious hotel with a pool.

In both pictures the weather is quite welcoming as the sky is so clear and everything looks peaceful. I think the first picture as well as the second one has been taken in the daytime. Another similarity is that everyone is having a rest, relaxing in their favourite way.

However, while the first picture features an ancient town, the second one shows a modern resort. Comparing these two places, I would like to point out that the resort in picture B seems more expensive. People might go to a place like the one in picture B because of the feeling of luxury that staying in a resort provides. There is only one person relaxing near the swimming pool while there is a group of people listening to their guide to gain a better understanding of ancient cultures.

The first reason why I would choose sightseeing is a sense of curiosity about the past. I also have a strong interest in architecture. Besides this, I am very active and hate just relaxing near the pool.
