Oral Picture 7

This picture depicts a scene at the beach. The beach seems to be buzzing with activities. There are many people there, spending their time there to enjoy the tranquillity and the sea breeze.

Scenario1 (normal)

There are two children swimming near the shore of the beach. They seem to be having a whale of their time as they look as if they are squealing with joy. Swimming is a good form of exercise. It can help to build up the fitness of your body and also relieve the stress of the busy urban-life. Thus, it helps a person both physically and mentally. The beach is a good place to swim as the skin can absorb better the vitamins of the early sunlight.

However, I hope that they do not swim too far ashore. We can never know what will happen in the future. If they have not done their warm-ups before splashing into the water, they may get leg cramps. The consequences are disastrous without adults by their sides. Dangerous marine creatures may also swim close to the shore.

Therefore, they should not be too engrossed in swimming and must be aware of their surroundings too. I will suggest an adult to be by their sides and supervise them.

Scenario2 (wrong and consequence)

An elderly man, who seems to be in his golden years, is reading a book under the tree. It is an ideal place to read a book due to the shade of the tree and the cool breeze of the sea. Reading is a good activity for elderly people instead of idling in the void decks of flats which many elderly do.

Two boys are playing soccer at the side of the tree. They are smiling mirthfully and seem to be carried away, playing. One boy kicks the ball and unfortunately hits the old man who is reading under the tree. Playing soccer at such a crowded place is not recommended. The ball may hit other people and cause injuries. The ball may even hit elderly people and cause worse injuries due to their fragility.

I will recommend them to play soccer at an area of the beach where there is not as many people. I will also recommend them to use a soft ball so that injuries caused will be less severe.

Scenario3 (normal)

There are two boys reading their books silently under an enormous umbrella. They seem to be enjoying the contents of the book. Reading helps to build up our language and also knowledge. We can glean nuggets of knowledge just by reading. Reading is a good as it can divert our attention on things and can also be carried out at different places to kill boredom.

There are different kinds of books to choose from, ranging from encyclopaedias to narratives. The choice of books develops our opinions and perspective of things. Therefore, we must make good choices of books that we read.

Scenario4 (normal)

A family is sitting on a mat and having a picnic. They are chatting away while enjoying the variety of food. Having picnic such as this is important in a family as it helps to strengthen the bonds between each family member. Each family must have periods where they spend together to relieve stress together and play.
Nowadays, both parents are working and thus do not have time to spend with their child. Not only is the physical health of a child important, their mental health is too important. Thus, I think that parents play an important role in the growing up of a child and that they must spend adequate time with their child.

Scenario5 (cause and effect)

A child has fallen down while riding a bicycle. He seems to be in excruciating pain. Tears are steaming down his cheeks as if the rain gutters has overflowed. A woman is kneeling by his side, trying to comfort him. The woman may be the boy’s mother.

I hope that the boy has used the equipment appropriately. Nowadays, children are using their bicycles to do stunts which are potentially dangerous. Inappropriate use of equipments such as bicycles will result in consequences which are very severe.

I hope the boy’s mother will apply the correct medicine to the boy’s gash to prevent infection. I will also hope that the mother of the child can supervise her child when he is riding the bicycle to avoid future injuries.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the beach is a good place for leisure activities and for family bonding. However, activities that are done there should be after prudent decisions. People should anticipate what will happen and carry out appropriate actions to avoid them.
