oral examination day 10-conversation

I agree that some people just worry too much about things.Whenever,and wherever they are,they would worry unduly.I had a friend whom always worry about things.Before the exam,she would worry about how hard the questions would be and what kind of questions would be tested.After the exams,she would worry about how well she would fare in the examinations.

As life is not a bed of roses,there are bound to be ups and downs,and of course,worries.Wories are a part of our lifes,but if we were to worry all of lifes,life would become a displeasure for us.As the saying goes,"let natural takes its course" things will slowly work out for you.We cannot live life without worries,but we should learn to face worries.As the truth is the cold,hard fact,you cannot change it.However,what we can do is to change our minset and face life with a positive attitude.Life goes on whether we live with worries or without worries,thus why should we worry and make our lifes unhappy?

oral examination day 10

This is a picture of the old folks in the old folks centre.In the foreground of the picture,a young man wearing jeans and a t-shirt is teaching the old folks how to wash their hands.I can tell that this is a old folks centre as there are many old folks gathering around here.In the background of the picture,I can see posters teaching the correct techniques of hand washing pasted on the walls of the washroom,perhaps serving as a reminder to the old folks on how to wash their hand correctly.

The man wearing jeans and a t-shirt is probably a volunteer at the old folds centre,teaching them how to wash their hands.There are also medical personel at the back,taking care of the old folks' health.These old folks probably came to this centre for activities as they are homeless or lonely while their children are at work.

I think that it is a good idea for people to act as volunteers to help out the old folks or the needy.The old folks has contributed their best of years,their youth to the nation and the society.It should be the time that we repay them now.It is also part of our job to take care of the old and the needy.

If I were to give this picture a title,I would give this picture a title of "heart warming" as I am touched by the young man serving as a volunteer at the old folks centre.

oral examination day 8-conversation

Some of the difficulties faced by women who wants to have a career and start a family is that they are unable to cope with both aspects at the same time.For them to be a successful business woman,she would have to put in all her best,heart and soul into the work.If she were to handle post of a managerial position,they would have to work overtime almost everyday,thus neglecting their family.

Employers can help these women by giving them less workload for them to spend time with their family.Thus,with lesser workload,they can take time off to foster bonds with family members.Employers could also set a family day for the company,in coordination with the five day work week,giving employees tickets to tourists' destinations such as the zoo and the science centre. As it is a five day work week,people do not need to work on weekends.With a family day that the company organises,employees would get to spend time with their family members,while pursueing their carrer at the same time.

oral examination day 8

This is a picture of teachers playing games with children in the childcare center.In the foreground of the picture,a little boy playing as the "eagle" is trying to catch the "little chicks",with the teacher playing the "mother chicken"protecting the "chicks".I can tell that this is a childcare center as there is alot of children around,as their parents had gone to work and left them in the care of the childcare centre.Also in the background of the picture,I can see a playground for kids,thus implying that this place is specially set for children to play.Therefore,this place is a childcare center.

This picture is probably taken in the field of the childcare center as indoor may not have enough space to carry out such playing activities.The ground that the children are standing on are also grass patches,implying that they are outdoors.Perhaps the adults in the pictures are the employees of the childcare center taking care of the children.A girl wearing a hairpin with a dress of stars in the left foreground of the picture seems to be enjoying this game.From the smile on her face,she seems to be enjoying herself.

I think that it is a good idea for children to play games,as children should be enjoying their childhood.Childhood is the best of their lifes.Childhood is freed from worries,and with playing games,they can develop friendship with other people too.Thus,if i were to give this picture a title,i would call it "childhood".

oral examination day 6-conversation

From my opinion,everyone can be good at sports,as long as they have the determination and strive hard to succeed.As the saying goes"practice makes perfect",with constant practice,you can improve in the sports you play.

Some people are better at sports than other people because of the hard work they have put in.My friend,amos was a reserve badminton player in our primary school.However,he trained very hard in badminton and is now the honourable captain of Raffles Institution today.Thus,everyone can learn to be good at sports.However,there are some cases where people are just born with the talent to play sports.They are very gifted and with enough guidance,they will become very strong.Although saying this,it does not mean that training is unesscessary,for champions are made,not born.With hard work and determination,everyone could become good at sports.

oral examination day 6

This is a picture of some pupils supporting their team in a sports event.Four girls in the foreground of the picture appears to be shouting and screaming,rooting for their team.I can tell that it is a sports event because this picture is taken in a stadium.In the foreground of the picture,the ground that the girls are standing on is the field.There is also a running track in the background of the picture.Furthermore,there is also alot of people in the background of the picture whom are sitting at the spectators stand.Thus,there is probably an event going on.

Perhaps these people are the students of the school's sport events,giving their support for the teams as they are wearing the same uniform.The girl wearing glasses in the foreground of the picture and the girl next to her are clapping,giving their support.From their expression,the part of the sports event probably has reached the climax that the girls are so anxious,screaming and jumping.The girl who is jumping is probably thinking,"go on,win it!run faster!"

I think it is a good idea for people to particpate in sports event actively.In the way,people through sports,can strengthen their relationships with each other and at the same time,stay healthy.

If i were to give this picture a title,I would call it "Sports event".

Oral examination day 4-conversation

From my personal opinion,protecting natural habitats and looking after wildlife are part of our tasks.We should preserve the natural habitats and not destroy them.Nowadays,natural habitats are being indiscrimately destroyed by humans.Natural habitats such as forest are destroyed by humans in order to create materials such as paper and to make way for buildings,roads and factories.Dams are also built along rivers,altering their natural course to create hydro-electric energy,upsetting the natural habitats of wildlife.

From my point of view,humans are destroying natural habitats to a large extent.With their natural habitats destroyed,animals are in danger of extinction.For example,the melting of the ice in the poles and antartic region caused by global warming which results from the acts of human is causing polar bears to face the threat of extinction.For the next generation,we may have to bring them to the museum to watch polar bears.

Human and wildlife could learn to live coherently.Developing cities at the expense of destroying natural habitats only add to our own troubles.For example,with the forests destroyed,it only worsens the greenhouse effect and quicken global warming.Thus,we should learn to protect natural habitats and look after wildlife.

Oral examination day 4

This is a picture of the disabled going to a event.In the foreground of the picture,there is a man wearing a flowery shirt extending his helping hand towards a disabled man.I can tell that the disabled are going to a event as there is also a disabled woman in the background of the picture waiting to get onto the bus.



The people in the picture are probably the organisers that organises the event for the disabled,therefore they are in charge of transporting the disabled to the event location.Also,they are wearing a t-shirt of the same logo,implying they come from the same organisation.I can see a young man pushing a disabled man up a ramp onto the bus.The disabled man in the foreground is dressed formerly.He maybe going to a event.



Before this picture was takne,the people may have all came from a location of welfare organisation before going to the location where the event is taking place.



I think that disabled going to events are good.Although they are disabled,they can still live their lives to the fullest and contribute to the society.Thus,if i were to give this picture a theme,I would give it a title of "Life".

Oral examination Day 2-conversation

My favourite hairstyle is those of that short,neat looking hair type.Firstly,with these type of hairstyle,I would have no problems with the discipline master or my form teacher for my hair being too long.Therefore,I would not face punishment such as detention with issues regarding grooming.Also,with a short haircut,I would save the hassle of combing my hair before I go to school unlike my brother,who needs to comb his hair and put on gel in order to look neat and presentable.

Furthermore,your hairstyle serves as a important factor in the overall impression to others.There was once instance where my brother went for a job interview to vie for a outlet manager post.In the end,he lost the other candidates not in terms of qualifications but in terms of overall impression.As my brother was running late,he did not comb his hair.Therefore at the interview,his hair was messy and he looked untidy.

Hairstyle shows about your character.Thus,in conlusion,hairstyle plays an important role in your life.

English oral examinations-Day 2

This is a picture of some pupil taking part in a hairstyling workshop.I can tell that it is a hairstyling workshop as the people in the picture are working on wigs instead of people's hair.In the foreground of the picture,a woman with ponytail hair seems to be not confident and unfamiliar with the cutting process.Thus,she has a puzzled expression on her face.

Perhaps these people are participants in the hairstyling workshop.They are probably a group of friends who share a common interest and thus joined the workshop together to learn hairstyling.Besides the woman with ponytail,the other participants are also learning haircut.
They seem to be enjoying themselves.

Before this picture was taken,they probably had attended a briefing about hairstyling.It could be some pointers to note about hairstyling for a successful haircut.

After the hairstyling workshop,I think they might head off to shopping since they are a group of friends for a get-together.They might also buy some some guide books about hairstyling as they are taking up a hairstyling workshop.

I think that is a good thing for people to learn new things.In this way,people can upgrade themselves and contribute more to the society.Regardless of age,people should work constantly to improve themselves.If I were to give this picture a title,I would give it a title of"Learning",as learning is a lifelong process.
