Képek általában minden vizsgán szerepelnek. De mit kellene, és mit lehet mondani róluk? Rovatunkban ehhez szeretnénk segítséget nyújtani úgy, hogy bemutatjuk, ugyanarról a képről mind a három fokon lehet beszélni. Természetesen csak ötleteket adunk, amit mindenki kiegészíthet még a sajátjaival. Ugyanakkor azoknak a nyelvtanulóknak is szeretnénk hasznos olvasnivalót kínálni az egy-egy téma szókincsébe való betekintéssel, akik nem készülnek vizsgára, akármilyen szinten tartanak is. Erre a hónapra a húsvéti tojásvadászatot választottuk témának.

In the picture, two mums and two kids are hunting for eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies in the grass. They are in a garden. I can see the wall of a house in the background. The picture was taken in spring, at Easter. The sun is shining and the weather must be warm. The kids are lightly dressed, they aren’t wearing a coat. They are collecting the Easter eggs and the Easter bunnies into a small white basket. They look excited and happy. When I was a kid my family always hid Easter eggs and small presents in the grass and I had to find them. I loved the Easter egg hunt but sadly I cannot do it any longer. I’m too old for that. But I have a little sister and I hid the chocolate eggs and bunnies in the garden for her last year. I found difficult hiding places for the eggs and it wasn’t easy to find them. She spent a lot of time in the garden but she couldn’t find all of the presents. I had to help her to find some of them. We laughed a lot and we had a good time together.

The picture must have been taken at Easter. Two kids and two ladies are hunting for Easter eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies in the garden of a house or a forest near a house. They’ve already found a lot of small treats, their little woven basket is almost full. They are about kindergarten age and probably they still believe in the tale of the Easter bunny. Older kids already are aware of the fact that it’s their parents who hide the Easter presents in the grass and not the mysterious Easter Bunny. I remember that I was kind of shocked when I realised that the Easter Bunny was just a make-believe figure, but I loved the Easter egg hunt anyway even after realising that it was just a tale.
Easter time was always very exciting and something to look forward to. Me and my brother usually got lots of sweets and the family had a delicious meal together. I could have hard-boiled eggs and Easter ham for days and I could never get bored of them. Mum cooked and baked yummy food, we played together and laughed a lot. We generally invited our grandparents over. Grandpa sprinkled us girls with perfume and went together with my dad and brother to the neighbour girls to sprinkle them, too. I was so envious of my brother when they came home after sprinkling the girls because they got a lot of chocolate, colourful hard-boiled eggs and sometimes even money. I thought that it wasn’t fair that girls couldn’t get as many presents at Easter as boys, but I could hunt for eggs at least. Easter is in spring when the weather starts to warm up after the cold winter and when children and grown-ups alike enjoy being outdoors in the sunshine. The painted eggs are beautiful in the picture, by the way, and I can’t wait to paint eggs this year in creative new ways. It’s always fun and the eggs make a good present for family members and friends. It’s a pity that we have to destroy their beauty when we eat them.

The picture shows a good start to a day filled with laughter and excitement. Eager children have been gathering Easter eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies around the garden together with their mums clutching their baskets tightly in their small hands. The annual Easter egg hunt seems to be almost over as their basket is almost full of Easter treats. The Eater egg hunt is always a flurry of activity. Like explorers on a quest, the children dart between bushes and under trees, their eyes scanning the ground for any sign of colour. Each brightly decorated egg is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Giggles and shouts fill the air as the Easter egg hunters unearth the hidden treasures. Some eggs lie in plain sight, while others require a keen eye and a bit of cunning to find, tucked away in the most unexpected corners of the garden. The thrill of the hunt spurs the kids on, their determination unwavering as they comb the landscape. Every find is met with triumphant cheers, as they proudly display their treats to one another, comparing sizes and designs with infectious excitement. But the true magic of the Easter egg hunt isn’t just in the discovery of colourful eggs. It is in the shared moments of joy and camaraderie, as friends and family come together to celebrate the arrival of spring and the promise of new beginnings. It is in the laughter that echoes through the garden, and the memories that will be cherished for years to come. The faces of the kids are flushed with excitement and their hearts are full of happiness.
Easter is a fun time for kids but for adults, it has a more significant meaning. It is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. It is considered the most important and holiest day in the Christian calendar besides Christmas. For Christians, Easter is a time of spiritual significance, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the victory of life over death. It is a time for believers to reflect on the teachings of Jesus, his sacrifice for humanity, and the promise of eternal life through faith. In addition to its religious significance, Easter has also become associated with various secular traditions and customs, including the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, and Easter egg hunts. These traditions often symbolize fertility, rebirth, and new beginnings, which align with the themes of renewal and rejuvenation that are central to the Easter holiday.
