Hi, Peter! That's Simon [speak|to speak|speaking]. I'm calling to tell you about the photos I've [find|found|founded]for our project on pros and cons of scientific and technical progress. I've just sent them to you.
One of the photos [depicts|decides|directs]scientists developing new high-tech equipment. The [other|another|either]photo shows working plant. These photos are suitable [for|to|with]our project, as they show two aspects of scientific and technical progress – increase in labour productivity and environmental pollution.
In [this|those|these]photographs, we can see two scientists making equipment. A young man works on a laptop, which is also the result of scientific and technological progress. The second photo shows a working plant, from the pipes of which smoke is being poured, polluting the surrounding atmosphere.
In reality, scientific and technological progress has its pros and cons. One of the advantages is that with the advent of factories and industries, mass production of products [appear|appeared|appearing], productivity increased. But emissions into the environment lead to pollution of river and sea waters and air.
[As for|About|For]me, I am a supporter of scientific and technological progress. I cannot imagine our life without modern technical [mean|means|is meaning]such as a smartphone, laptop, plane, car, etc. We are accustomed to the abundance of products provided by factories.
[To start with|Well|Thirdly], that's all I wanted to tell you. Please, look at the photos and give [me|to me|mine]your opinion on them. Bye!
