PICTURE DISCUSSION 9.
This picture depicts a scene in a science lab, where students are conducting experiments with bacteria. The students are probably doing life science or biology and are hence wearing lab coats. I think that the students are having alot of fun doing the experiments as they are all smiling. I think after the activity, they would go out and hang out together.
CONVERSATION 9.
In school, i like english and chinese as the lessons are fun and they keep you thinking and interested in the lesson. Time passes quickly in these lessons and I do not find them boring as they are interactive and fun. I dont know what i would like to study after i graduate but im sure i'd find something interesting to study. I do not think everyone should go to university as not everyone would like to go to further their studies in univerities and thus they should be the ones making their own decisions.
I think science is an important subject as it helps you learn about chemicals, your body, and the way things work. If i were to encourage young children to take an interest them in science, i would let them conduct experiments and they might take an interest to science. I think that the view that boys make better scientists than girls is not true as you dont have proof to that.

PICTURE DISCUSSION 7.
This picture shows the cleaning of a hawker centre. I think that the people are cleaning the hawker centre so as to prevent pests such as cockroaches and rats from breeding, as well as to keep the hawker centre clean. On a normal day, the hawker centre would be crowded with people eating and buying food, as well as cleaners clearing the plates and bowls from the tables.
CONVERSATION 7.
I live in a HDB flat. I do not think that i am a tidy and organised person but i do not feel that i am that unorganised either. I keep my house clean by sweeping, vacumming and mopping the floor as well as make my bed.
I think that hygiene is really important as with bad hygiene, we might contract diseases and stomach aches if we do not wash our hands and keep ourselves clean. We would also be smelly and nobody would want to approach us then. It might be difficult to have good hygiene if you are a lazy person as you would be too lazy to keep washing your hands or being clean. Being too hygienic however, is also not good as you would hog the sink by washing your hands too much. It would also waste water.

PICTURE DISCUSSION 4.
This picture shows the scene of a disabled man going on holiday with his family. He seems to have difficulty moving up the ramp to board the vehicle but there are people helping him by pushing him up the ramp as well as puling him up. Beside the wheelchair-bound man are several people whom i think are his family members. I think that the man will enjoy his holiday as he has probably not gone overseas for a holiday in a long time since he became wheelchair-bound.
CONVERSATION 4.
I have been to melbourne in Australia with my family, where we went to the zoo and other places. We fed kangaroos, held koalas and saw many other animals. It was very fun and it made me very happy to go there. I would recommend it to others as it is very cool to come up close to animals and see all the flowers there.
I feel that we should protect natural habitats and wildlife reserves as it is very easy to destroy nature, and many people destroy natural habitats such as forests to expand their land and build new buildings. It is so sad to see all the animals living in the forests die when the forest is being destroyed because the animals have nowhere to go.

PICTURE DISCUSSION 3.
This picture shows a scene at the beach, where there is a group of children are trying to build a sandcastle. Beside them is an adult, probably there to guide them in how to proceed to build the castle. In the middle of the picture, i can see that the children have already set aside some space for which they will build their sandcastle on, as there is a moat around it. There are many things for us to do at the beach, for example, we could go swimming in the sea, play beach volleyball, build sandcastles, pick seashells as well as bury people in the sand.
CONVERSATION 3.
I once took part in a banner-making competition with my friends for guides. We took it quite seriously as we wanted to win, and we frequently met up after school to discuss the banner design as well as the colours and painting. Once the design was decided upon, we bought the paint and cloth and we painted the banner. It took us a long time to get the banner done as there were not enough people helping out, and we ran out of paint. After a few weeks however, we finished the banner and we were proud of our work. We managed to win the banner-making competition, and if i'm not wrong we came in second.
I feel that children nowadays should take part in more outdoor activities as they are usually at home playing computer or video games. Playing too much computer games can be harmful to one's health as it might lead to myopia as well as addiction to the game, which would cause the children to lose sleep as well as interest in their studies.

PICTURE DISCUSSION 1.
This picture depicts a scene at an old folks home where there are students entertaining the elderly by playing catch with them. I think that these students are at the old folks home as part of their Community Involvement Programme, also known as CIP. In the semicircle of seven elderly people, there is a student in the middle of the semicircle, throwing the beach ball towards the residents of the old folks home. While in between two of the wheelchair-bound men, ready to catch the ball if it flew out of the semicircle, is another student. The elderly residents look happy to have company, and they seem to be having fun playing 'catch' with the students as they are probably bored of the dull life they lead in the old folks home.
CONVERSATION 1.
I have a grandmother who is about 67 years old this year. She means alot to me and she taught me a little lesson on cooking and how to speak teochew, which is my dialect group. She looked after me alot when i was young and she would always buy me sweets and cook my favourite dishes when i came to visit. If i could do something for her, for example, on her birthday, i would cook a meal for her. Even though my cooking skills are not that good, I'm sure she would appreciate the thought behind my cooking.
I feel that elderly people should be looked after by their families instead of living a dull life in the old folks home. They should live in elderly-friendly homes, which have facilities that make moving around easier for them, with things for them to do such that they can have an active mind and lifestyle. I feel that nursing homes for the elderly should not be free of charge, as knowing Singaporeans, most people would take the advantage of the free care for their elderly parents and dump them in old folks home, leaving more elderly in nursing homes wasting their lives away.

Although the obese man was exhorted by his doctor to go on diets, he was indolent and sat in front of the tv eating bags of chips while watching the Olympics. He felt pathetic compared to the lithe gymnast and finally made up his mind to lose weight.

The irrational behaviour of the disgruntled man caused a bedlam among his family members. Once he got into a fit, no one could impede the man of his physical attacks. His family members were the people most vulnerable to his abuses, but they dared not report his attacks to the police.

The puny debris dispersed during the volcanic eruption. It looked awesome but it caused a conflagration in Japan. Fortunately, a sage came along to initiate the obliteration of the fire. The sage turned senile after living to longevity.

I believe that there should be a universal prohibition on smoking. It is absurd to allow the air we breathe to be tainted with smoke from cigarettes, as well as imprudent to allow such acts to contribute to air pollution and global warming.

After a decade of being free from volcanic eruptions, the villagers experienced a catastrophic eruption from the dormant Mount Merapi, causing a high mortality rate among the Indonesians living in that area. This caused a gamut of emotions as well as opinions among geographers as they had not forseen the eruption. This led to an inordinate uproar over the efficiency of the geographers and their equipment.

If you think that through your own hard work, you have made an appellation for yourself, i would have to demur to that opinion of yours as throught the fabrications of others, you have deluded yourself into thinking that. It is unfair for you to claim credit for what you and your workers have put effort in, and you ought to acknowledge that.
