•In this photo I can see two women. They are parading up and down the catwalk.

•On the left we can see a young woman. She is in her twenties. She is wearing a blue checked miniskirt, a grey patterned T-shirt and black and yellow shoes. She is tall and thin. She has got fair skin and wavy dark hair. She seems serious.

•On the right we can see a young woman. She is about twenty. She is wearing brown checked trousers, a wool sweater, a light brown belt and a coat. She is carrying a bag. She is thin, tall and she has straight, blonde hair. She seems sad.

•In my opinion, it is an interesting photo, if you like fashion.

•In this photo I can see a man and a baby. They are at home, probably in the living room.

•On the left we can see the man holding the baby with his right hand and vacuuming the carpet with his left hand.

•The man is probably in his thirties. I am not sure because I can’t see his face. And the baby is very young, a few months only.

•The man is wearing a pair of white socks, jeans, a white T-shirt and a dark red shirt. The baby is wearing white nappies and rompers.

•The man seems stressed and the baby seems shocked.

•The living room is untidy. The are a lot of things on the sofa and on the floor: toys, a teddy bear, cushions, a striped blanket… There is a picture on the wall.

•In my opinion, it is a very funny photo.
