Hi, Lucy! [It's me|Here], Natasha. I am calling because I [have found|discovered|have looked for]some pictures for our project on communication in the XXI century. Check your email, I've just sent them to you.
The first photo [duplicates|imagines|depicts]a girl talking to someone on her computer. She looks involved in the conversation, [due to|as|yet]she is waving her hand. The second photo [duplicates|imagines|depicts]two girls hanging out in a cafe and exchanging gifts. The girl [in|on|at]the first photo is [may be|obviously|absolutely]in her room. We can see her laying [at|behind|on]a bed. The girls [on|at|in]the second photo are enjoying a warm sunny day on a terrace. [Considering|Judging|Taking into account]by the position of the first girl she is relaxed, while the girls [on|in|at]the second photo are excited. We can use both photos, [however|as well as|as]they show two ways of communication we are using right now, [namely|certainly|supposingly], online and offline.
[No doubt that|However|On the contrary]both online and offline communication are widespread globally. Online communication became unavoidable in 2020 due to the pandemic. Online conferences and calls are very useful and convenient. One can talk or even handle a presentation straight from his or her room. [Therefore|On the contrary|Moreover], due to modern conference apps we are able to contact our friends even if we are miles apart or simply can never agree on time for our meeting. [In addition|On the other hand|Further], online calls can never replace offline contacts. You can't hug your dear friend or exchange gifts.[Furthermore|Besides|Overall], your Internet connection is never 100 % safe. You or your interlocutor may disconnect at any time. As well as your devices can run out of charge or have other troubles which will lead to the end of the conversation.
[On one hand|In my opinion|Namely], both online and offline meetings are great. I would like to switch them depending on the season. [For instance|Nevertheless|Consequently], from May till October when it's relatively warm we meet offline and from November till April when it's cold or freezing we meet online. We are all social animals [finally|rarely|after all], and we need each other.
[Well|In addition|To begin with], that's about it. Please check the photos and let me know your opinion on them. Bye!
