Oral Picture: Grandpa's Birthday Celebration

Oral Picture : Grandpa’s Birthday Celebration

Introduction Setting

This picture shows a scene of Grandpa’s birthday celebration. It seems to be a very happy birthday celebration.


Scenario 1 a) – Normal

a) Describe what I see in the picture


A short row of children are lining up, waiting to give their presents to an old man sitting on a chair at the front of the queue. The old man must be their grandfather who is celebrating his 80th birthday. An old lady is standing beside him. She might be his wife.


b)Personal Response


From their facial expressions, the children seems to be delighted and eager to wish their grandfather happy birthday. If I were them, I would also feel the same way although I do not have a grandfather.


Scenario 1 b) – Wrong and Consequence

a) Describe what I see in the picture


Two boys are fighting over the present they are supposed to give to their grandfather. They might be brothers as there is only one present for them to give.


b) Personal Response


I think that they are being disrespectful to their grandfather as they are creating a ruckus over a small matter. They should just give the present together. It would be more appropriate and respectful.


Consequence


Their grandfather might get angry and will not be able to enjoy his birthday. Their parents might also scold them for being disrespectful to their elder on such a happy occasion.


Scenario 2 a) – Normal

a) Describe what I see in the picture


There is a whole row of delicious and scrumptious looking food on a long table. There are people around, scooping food from trays and bowls. There is also a big cake stating “Happy birthday Grandpa”. It is decorated with cherries around it.

b)Personal Response


This must be a special birthday for grandfather as it is a big celebration with scrumptious food and the whole gamily are celebrating.


Conclusion

This is definitely a great birthday celebration. We should avoid any unnecessary dispute and enjoy the birthday celebration. I have joined many birthday celebrations and most of them does not have any dispute.
