you are always asked to compare two pictures. To be precise, in the Z level task sheet, you are first asked to
choose one picture out of two and describe it and then asked to compare 2 pictures. In the V level task sheet,
you are asked to compare and contrast 2 pictures. To see sample worksheets for the whole Maturita exam, go
