As I’ve mentioned, I snap a photo of anything that catches my eyes when I’m in a good
mood. So I take photos when my friends and I hang out or when I participate in social
activities of the university and meet amazing people. However, when it comes to
practicing for professional
photography, I prefer taking photos of scenery and foods.
Vocabulary
In a good mood (idiom) a cheerful, well-disposed state of mind
When it comes to Sth/V-ing (adv) as for something; speaking about something
14.5. What kind of photos do you like to take? Why?
Food and scenery are definitely my inspiration. I just can’t
sit still when beautiful
breakfasts and stunning landscape keep appearing on my Instagram everyday. What is
more, it is my natural instinct that helps me to go find the simple uniqueness of my
university, namely the sunset, the lake, the trees and flowers and show people how
beautiful my university is. However, I’m not good at taking photos of people so actvities
or street-life is not my style.
Vocabulary
Sit still (idiom) to remain seated
Natural instinct (collocation)
the way people or animals
naturally
react or behave,

14.6. How (why) did you become interested in photography?
The situation was quite all of a sudden. I posted some scenery photos I took on the spur
of the moment on Instagram and received lots of compliments, even from those whom
I’m not following. Then I realized I should develop this skill, you know, should take it
seriously and keep up the good work. And the more I learn about it, the more passionate
I become.
Vocabulary
On the spur of the moment (idiom) do without planning, suddenly
All of a sudden (idiom) suddenly
To keep up the good work (phrase) used to encourage SO for continuing what they are
doing well
14.7. How often do you take photographs?
Not too often I must say. Since I really don’t like posting boring photos with the same
object all the time, so timing is everything. I believe my guts will know exactly when and
how I should flick to produce high-quality photos.
Vocabulary
Guts (n) to be used in reference to a feeling or reaction
based on an instinctive
emotional response rather than considered thought.
14.8. Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?
I think I’m gonna go for taking scenery photos. As a beginner, the knowledge of human
facial expression, the part that needs focus, the harmonization between them and their
surroundings are a bit too advanced for me. I can’t really make the person in my photo
become lively as I do with the scenery. Besides, looking at the beauty of nature and
capturing it is kind of mind-purifying to me and is a good way to escape from the artificial
world. So yeah, scenery is safer and more enjoyable.
Vocabulary
Mind-purifying (adj) make your mind naturally pure, free from negative thoughts
14.9. Who do you take photos of?
Although I’m not good at taking photos of people, I do take selfies with new friends
whom I meet when I participate in social activities. To me it’s more like a reminder or
something to look back, reminding me that yeah, this time last year I went out, I met
amazing people and had lots of fun.
