Oral Picture : At the beach

Introduction Setting

This picture shows a scene at the beach. There are many people enjoying themselves on the love and beautiful beach.

Scenario 1 a) – Wrong and Consequence

a) Describe what I see in the picture

Two boys are playing beach ball beside the sea. They are having fun together without any adult supervision.

b) Personal Response

I think that their actions are dangerous as they are just beside the sea. If they did not manage to catch the beach ball, the ball might fall and float into the sea. It might float quite far and the boys will swim in the sea to retrieve their ball. Without adult supervision, they might not be able to swim properly as the current might be too strong that they might drown. Their parents are also part of the responsibility to watch out for them.

Scenario 1 b) – Wrong and Consequence

a) Describe what I see in the picture

Next to them are a boy and a girl, who are swimming in the sea. They might be siblings. (establish relationship)

b) Personal Response

I feel that their actions are also dangerous as swimming in the sea alone is unsafe. I believe that they do not know the rules for safety at the beach. There is no lifeguard on the sea to save them if they are lost or drowning in the sea. Their parents are also part of the responsibility of watching over them.

Scenario 2 a) – Normal

b) Describe what I see in the picture

A boy and two girls are playing sandcastle. The boy is carrying a pail of water towards the two girls. They have made a nice sandcastle and have decorated it with seashells.

a)Personal Response

They must have worked very hard to build this beautiful sandcastle. It is not easy as I have experienced it before and I know that it is very difficult to make a good sandcastle.

Scenario 2 b) – Normal

b) Describe what I see in the picture

A girl is listening to an adult play the guitar. The adult might be her mother. (establish relationship)

b)Personal Response

I guess that the girl’s mother is a good guitar player as the girl is clapping for her mother with a wide smile on her face. I think she is trying to tell her mother that the song she played was excellent.

Conclusion

The beach is a place where tourists and families can go to enjoy. We should enjoy the peace and tranquility instead of doing dangerous things just like the siblings in the picture.
