پاسخ نمونه بخش 2
I’ve very much been the kind of person to prefer to have all my photos stored on my phone and in the cloud. I’ve had far too many prints in the past end up damaged or lost and feel that if I’m going to take a photo, I’m going to want to keep it for as long as possible.
However, I have so many photos on my phone that it’s sometimes hard to remember all the ones I have, and somewhat difficult for me to quickly find the ones that matter to me the most.
Not long ago I moved to a new country and left behind all my friends. Although I was really excited about moving to a new place, I was naturally quite sad about saying goodbye to people who’d meant the world to me.
Before I left, my friends organized a huge farewell party in my apartment. Almost everybody that could attend came, and I was blown away by how much people cared.
Right before the house party ended, we took one last group photo. Everyone looked really happy and like they were having a good time, and there was me in the center smiling from ear to ear.
A month after I’d moved into my new apartment I was looking through my photos and came across this one from my leaving party. It made me smile yet again, and I decided that I was going to have it printed and framed so I could look at it with nothing more than a passing glance. I wanted to be reminded of that place I called home for so many years, and this was the perfect way to do it.
My bedroom isn’t really very big and there isn’t a lot of space to hang photos on the walls, but there was a free space, just large enough on one of my shelves for me to put this photo, which is where it sits to this day.

پاسخ نمونه بخش 3
What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking a photo with a phone?
مزایا و مضرات عکاسی با تلفن چیست؟
There are definitely more pros than cons in my opinion.
One of the key advantages is that phones are small, light, and extremely portable. Most people are carrying their phone with them at all times, and therefore they’ve always got a camera with them. They don’t need to think much before taking a photo — just get it out and take the photo.
In the past, people would have to deal with film, both loading it into the camera and getting the photos developed at a professional studio. Nowadays this is a non-issue, and film cameras are exceedingly rare; they’ve become almost a collector’s item. This is a strong benefit to using a phone to take photos.
I think one of the major disadvantages is quality. Although the lenses and cameras have come a long way in recent years, they’re not as good as a professional grade camera. It’s rare for a camera on a phone to outperform a traditional camera, but sometimes it happens.
لغات و اصطلاحات پاسخ نمونه
Pros and cons (phrase – مزایا و معایب)The pros and cons of something are its advantages (pros) and disadvantages (cons). You’ll usually think about the pros and cons when making a decision. It’s often used with the phrasal verb weigh up and people will weigh up the pros and cons of something.

Non-issue (noun – نه چندان مهم)A subject that’s a non-issue is one that isn’t very important. Maybe it used to be important in the past, but it no longer is.

Do you think photographers are artists?
به نظر شما عکاسان هنرمند هستند؟
Sure, of course I do!
Photography has long been regarded as a form of art, and even photographers that use their camera on their phone can definitely be regarded as artists.
In my opinion, photographers don’t need as much skill as a painter, although to compose a good shot would require a lot of practice and training. Understanding what makes a good photo is a skill in itself, and a lot of people take classes in photography to sharpen their skills even further.
Like painters, the skill of a photographer doesn’t determine whether they should be considered an artist or not. There are some painters that are pretty poor at their craft, but few wouldn’t consider them to be a real artist. Similarly, I believe that everyone who takes a photograph is an artist in some way. Perhaps the photo isn’t very good, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t art.

Compose (verb – چینش فضا برای عکس)To compose a photo means to arrange the parts in a way that will make it look the best.

Example: He did a lot of research online about different ways to compose a photo.
In itself (idiom – به خودی خود)It’s the short version of the full phrase, “in and of itself” which means without considering anything else. It’s used for emphasizing that what you are saying about one particular thing is true without considering anything else.
Example: Some of the medicines were out of date, which was in itself dangerous.
Sharpen (verb – تقویت کردن)To sharpen your skills means to improve them.
Example: The program will give young athletes the chance to sharpen their skills.
What are the benefits of children learning how to paint?
فواید نقاشی یادگرفتن توسط کودکان چیست؟
I think all skills are beneficial in some way. Very few children aspire to be professional painters, but it can be fun nonetheless.
Painting and drawing can help a child learn hand-eye coordination, which is an important skill for them to learn as early as possible.
Painting can be a really fun activity for kids too. Most kids find painting relaxing and really enjoyable. It can also be a way for parents to spend quality time with their kid.
I think another benefit is it can help a child express their emotions and creativity. Through the use of different colors, they can express themselves without using words.

Example: He spends quality time with his children every day.
Can anyone become a famous artist through hard work?
آیا کسی می تواند با سخت کوشی به یک هنرمند مشهور تبدیل شود؟
I’d say yes. Becoming well known for one’s art is definitely possible but would be an uphill battle.
There are very few artists that are household names today, and they’re usually the classical painters and artists. There are a few contemporary artists that people tend to know about, but they are few and far between.
I do believe that most things in life are possible through hard work. A little bit of luck is always helpful, but it’s the effort that pays off.
It may be easier than ever, with social media and the internet to become well known. With an effective online marketing strategy, combined with real world efforts most people can become well known.
I think it’s something that would snowball though. Once someone has a little bit of recognition, it would be easier to get more and more faster and faster.
