Фотографии. 1) семья делает покупки в супермаркете: отец рассматривает упаковку продукта, тележка полна продуктов; 2) женщина лежит на кровати с банковской картой и планшетом — заказывает товары онлайн.

Возможный ответ.
Ryan, hello! I want to tell you about the two photos I've picked for our "Tastes differ" project. The first shows a family shopping together in a supermarket — the father is checking a packet of food, and their trolley is already full of groceries. The second shows a woman lying on her bed, holding a bank card and a tablet as she shops online. So instead of going round the shops together as a family, she's buying everything from the comfort of home, which is exactly the contrast our project is about. Shopping in a store definitely has its perks: you get to see and check the goods yourself, and staff are there if you need help. Shopping online saves loads of time, and it's so easy to compare prices between different shops. But there's a flip side to each. In-store shopping eats up time and often means queuing at the till. Online shopping means you can't check the quality in person, and delivery can take days to arrive. Personally, I'd choose shopping online without a doubt. It's just so much more convenient, and it saves a huge amount of time. Anyway, that's what I think. Drop me a message with your thoughts. Talk later, Ryan!
