What’s happening in photo A is that (a lot of cars are stuck in a snow storm.)

What’s different about photo B is that (it’s summertime/ the weather must be very hot/ it is in the countryside, not a city).

What they seem to be going in photo A is (trying to push their car through the snow.)

What I notice about the person in photo B is that (he is looking at something – maybe he’s looking at the sky to see if it’s going to rain.)

What must be most difficult for these people is (that the weather makes it difficult for them to do their jobs).

What I’d find difficult in this situation is (the frustration – not being able to do anything about it).
