Oral Picture Day 4This picture depicts a scene of wheelchair-bounded people boarding a bus which specially accomodates to the needs of the disabled. The bus has a door open very widely and has a ramp which is broad enough for a wheelchair to go up the bus. From this, I can tell that the bus is specially prepared for the disabled, so that travelling from one place to another will be more convenient for them. In the centre of the picture, a disabled man seating on a wheelchair, is seen using the ramp to enter the bus. A man is helping him by pushing the wheelchair up the ramp for him and another man in the bus, is seen giving a helping hand to the man in the wheelchair. Both of the man are really courteous and helpful, I believe they are volunteers in this particular voluntery organisation for the disabled. In the foreground, around the man in the wheelchair, there are many volunteers too, I can tell this because all of them are wearing tags, to show that they belong to an organisation. All of them seem to be very patient, waiting for the disabled man to board the bus successfully. In between the volunteers, another disabled woman is seating on a wheelchair. She is seen to be smiiling very happily. I believe this is the very first time she is taking a bus since she became disabled. Thus, she may be very excited. I think after this, they might be visiting a place of attraction in Singapore, organised by this organisation for the disabled to be exposed to the outside world, instead of being limited to places due to their disability. In conclusion, I think this voluntary oragnisation helps the disabilities to regain their confidence by bringing them to places where others can go. In this way, the disabled willl not feel restricted due to their disability.
Oral Conversation Day 2
2. I feel that CCTV or security cameras in public places is a good way to make sure that the public is protected by perpetrators such as thiefs and robbers. By installing CCTVs, those with bad intentions will think twice before commiting the crime, or causing hurt to others as their actions are being recorded by the CCTV. This makes them highly possible to be caught by the police even when they flee from the scene. CCTVs are defitnetly necessary. CCTVs makes the public feels safe, as they will feel that robbers or thiefs, for example, will less likely "take action" in places with CCTVs installed. For example, many shopping centres have CCTVs installed so as to ensure the safety of customers, and to prevent thefts, shoplifting cases from happening. In this way, the public will feel safe shopping there, and will frequent more often. Another example will be the installation of CCTVs in dark alleys, or HDB lifts. This is also to prevent crimes from happening, such as thefts, murders, or molestation. In general, CCTVs are to protect the public. In my opinion, I feel security cameras make people feel more relaxed. Unless you are out to commit a crime, one should feel the same way as me. Security cameras only appears to be a disadvantage to perpetrators as their actions are monitored every second. Security cameras act as an obstacle to those with evil intentions. In conclusion, I feel security cameras are important and should be installed in public places ad they ensure the safety of people.
ORAL PICTURE - DAY 2
This picture depicts a scene of a hairdressing school, with trainees having practical, hands-on sessions with dummies provided by the school. The trainees are seen to be using dummies as they are not experienced enough, or have just learnt about the art of hairdressing not long ago. Once they are skillful enough, they can proceed to having live models for practice. Starting from the left of the picture, the first woman is seen to be very focused, not allowing herself to make a mistake when she snips off the hair of the dummy. She is paying full attention when she is practicing, from this, we can tell that she has a great passion for hairdressing. Beside her, another woman is holding a pair of scissors on her right hand, while, on the other hand, she is estimating the amount of hair to snip off from the dummy. She seems to be very happy or rather excited. From her facial expression, we can again tell that she iss very passionate towards hairdressing, and is keen to be a future professional hairstylist. Beside her, a woman is also smiling very happily, showing her teeth. Just like the woman on her right, she has a great passion for hairstyling. On her left, a woman is seen using a tong curling a wig, to blow temporary curls. Just next to her, another woman is seen to be in full concentration, styling the wig on the dummy. She seems to be doing a rather difficult job, as she seems to be a little stressed. On the table infront of them, there are hairclips, hair conditioner, and some other equipments useful for hairstyling. I believe that after practicing cutting hair on the wigs, the woman will proceed to practice the skill of washing the hair and massaging the scalp of clients, as the conditioner on the table says so. In conclusion, I believe these woman will be able to become professional hairstylists if they carry on being so passionate about the art of hairdressing. As long as they dont give up, they will be able to succeed. |
