Oral Day 10

Picture
This picture depicts a scene at a old folks home. The man in the middle of the picture seems to be doing an action with many other elderly following him. The man might have received professional training before as he seem to be trying to get the elderly to actively participate in the activity which he is doing. The elderly seem to be quite interested as most of them are following his actions.

Conversation
I agree that some people worry too much about things. These people tend to give themselves unwanted trouble by worrying too much. Worrying too much about things might result in a person turning mad or even losing their mind. My family, my school work are some of the things that can make me worry. People should make themselves more relaxed and enjoy the peace at a garden or something to deal with and forget their worries.

Oral Day 8

Picture
This picture depicts a scene at the outdoor of a childcare centre. There are many children playing games with the teacher. These children seem to be enjoying themselves as there are smiles on their faces. They must be feeling very happy and estatic. Children being children, they all love to have fun. Hence, I feel that everyone, including the teachers are enjoying themselves. I think that at the end of this activity, the children will go wash up and freshen up themselves before going to have their lunch.

Conversation
Some of the difficulties faced by women in wishing to pursue a career and have a family is that that must be able to balance both sides equally and not paying too much attention in one of them only. They must not be putting much too much effort in one side and ignoring the other. They must be able to maintain and balance both family and career. Employers can help such women by giving them more time off, not so much of overtime and be more considerate if they have to take leave off. The advantages of working at home is being able to save money as there is no need to rent or buy a place to work. On the other hand, the disadvantages of working at home is that there is not enough resources.

Oral Day 6

Picture
This picture depicts a scene at a sports stadium. It is most probably a school sports day event. The girls are watching a race which is currently going on. They seem to be very happy and estatic as the are clapping their hands and cheering their favourite team or atheletes to win. They are very supportive. One of the four girls is getting very hysterical or over enthusiastic as she to be cheering very vigourously. Behind these girls are a few boys sitting on the ground. They are most probably the next event's athletes and they are preparing themselves for their race. There are also quite alot of students seated at the spectators' seats.

Conversation
Yes, I believe that everyone can learn to be good at sport, but only if they put in their best. Some people are better at sport than other people is because these people are willing to put in more and extra effort to practice, hence the result will be different for them. It is fair to a large extent to say that men are better at sport than women. This is because most men have a better body build than women. This is an inborn aspect, thus it is understandable that men are better at sport than women , but not all.

Oral Day 4

Picture
This picture depicts a scene of two men pushing a disabled man on a wheelchair up a bus using a ramp. This is most probably a trip for the disabled as there is another woman behind who seems to be sitting on a wheelchair too. There are many people wearing the same design on their shirt, which I believe is most probably from a volunteer party. The volunteers might be taking these disabled out for a trip so that the disabled will not be bored if they are only restricted to their wheelchair. Many of them have a tag hung on their necks which I think is for better identification. I think that the people standing around the man in the wheelchair are preparing to offer help if the man needed help. I think that the bus will set off to their destination after everyone has boarded the bus.

Conversation
2. My view on protecting natural habitats and looking after wildlife is that it is very important. However, it is only possible if we protect these natural habitats and look after wildlife as a whole, be it as a country or a nation. I think to a very large extent that we are destroying nature. The many things that human has done has resulted in global warming, destroying the nature by deforestation or other means. Sadly, I believe that is it important to develop cities, even if this damages nature. The main reason why I believe it is important as if we do not develop cities, we would not be able to hold the increased in the whole population. There would not be enough housing and developing areas if we do not develop the cities.

Oral Day 2

Picture
This is a picture showing a scene at a hair dressing learning centre. There are many women who are learning their hair dressing skills here. They seemed to be enjoying their lesson as there are smiles on some of their faces. They will trim and cut the hairs of fake mannequin(?) on the table. There are many hairclips which I assume that the women will be using them to clip up the hair of the fake mannequin(?). On each side of the table in the centre of the picture, one side has many fake female head while the other side is filled with fake male head. The women who are attending this hairdressing lesson are most probably trying to pick up a new skill in their life so that they can apply this skill in the future if they need a job.

Conversation
2. Yes. I agree that CCTV or security cameras are necessary in public places. The CCTV or security camera is a way to ensure that no illegal acts such as stealing, robbing or theft can be minimised to the least. When there care CCTV or security cameras installed, those who have an intention of stealing will think twice before carrying out these illegal acts and land themselves in jail. Thus I believe that such devices is necessary in public places.
I think that security cameras somehow would make people feel less relaxed as they would feel that they are watched upon every minute or even second. Even if these people does not have a bad intention to steal, they are still watched upon every second. However, weighing the advantages and disadvantages on installing CCTV or security cameras in public places, I feel that the advantages has outweighed the disadvantages. If I were to choose to feel more relaxed or more safe, I would definitely choose to be more safe.

Views about detective stories and games

I find the detective stories and games to be very interesting and is a good way to exercise one's brain cells. It will definitely aid greatly when one wants to train his/her thinking skills. Detective stories and games are very brain intriguing and it is a good test to test for one's IQ. When solving for detective stories and games, it requires alot of thinking skills and analytical skills. I feel that I will be able to think fast and analyse the situation if I ever meet up with detective cases. Provided that I continue to read more detective stories and play more such games. Overall, I find detective stories and games to be very helpful in my life!

Journal Week 10

It was a repose task as we had meet with many vicissitudes. Everyone had disparate derogatory views to perform the task and could not come to a conclusion. As a result, we all felt very lugubrious.
