Oral picture: Grandpa in Hospital

Oral Picture : In the Hospital
Introduction Setting

This picture shows a scene at a hospital ward.

Scenario 1 a) – Normal
a) Describe what I see in the picture

Grandpa is lying on the hospital bed with his leg in a cast. A nurse is beside him, checking whether he is recovering well. Grandpa seems to be recovering fast as he nodded his head to the nurse to express that he was alright.

b) Personal Response

I think that the nurse is efficient as not all nurses are willing to ask or check on their patients.

Scenario 1 a) – Wrong and consequence

A boy and a girl are playing catching in the ward. They might be siblings.

b) Personal Response

I feel that they are not respecting their Grandfather in bed. They will also disturb other patients in other wards.

c) Consequence

Their mother, who is sitting on the chair beside Grandpa’s hospital bed, looks very angry. She is fuming mad. She could be going to scold them and tell them about the importance of being respectful to their elder resting on the hospital bed.


Conclusion

When we visit a patient in the hospital, we should not play or make too much noise as to allow the patients to get enough rest.

Oral Picture: Staircase

Oral Picture : Safety and Cosideration

Introduction Setting

This picture shows a scene at a staircase.

Scenario 1 a) – Wrong and Consequence + Cause and Effect

a) Describe what I see in the picture(Wrong and Cause)

A boy in school uniform had dashed down the staircase and knocked against a teacher who was carrying a lot of books. He was also going to knock against another teacher who was carrying a cup of hot drink.

b) Effect

Both the teachers have a very worried look. Some of the books carried by the teacher had fallen of onto the staircase and two students in uniform picked up the books for her.

c) Consequence

The hot drink in the hand of one of the teachers might be dropped onto the staircase, causing the drink to splatter onto others clothes and dirty the staircase. The boy running down the staircase could be rushing off for something important but I think that he should not run down the staircase. If the bump against the teachers or someone else was serious, that person would get injured.

Conclusion

When going down or up the staircase, we should always be considerate to give way to others and follow the rules for safety.

Oral Picture: Monkey Bar

Oral Picture : At the beach
Introduction Setting

This picture shows a scene at Yu Yang Primary School’s Fitness Corner. It might be after school time as there is not much students at the fitness corner. These students could be staying back to play.

Scenario 1 a) – Wrong and Consequence
a) Describe what I see in the picture

Two boys are playing soccer. Their expressions on their faces shows that they are having a great time exercising their legs.

b) Personal Response

I think that they should not play soccer in the fitness corner as there are many obstructions. If they accidentally kicked the soccer ball too hard and it is possible that it will hit someone and that person would get injured. I suggest them to go to an open field or a spacious area with no obstructions instead.

Scenario 1 b) – Cause and effect
a) Describe what I see in the picture (Cause)

A girl who has fallen from the monkey bars is wailing in pain. Her right elbow has a bruise and is bleeding profusely.

b) Describe what I see in the picture (Effect)

A boy is running towards her frantically. He is concern about her and is reaching his hands to help her up. I am sure he is going to report her to the teacher in the general office to inform her parents and bandage her wound.

Another boy hanging onto the monkey bar looks worried. He could be afraid of falling off onto the girl as the girl is just under him. He is trying his best to hang on. If I were him, I would do my best to hang on even if I cannot hold on to the monkey bar any longer. I will wait for the other boy to bring the girl away first.

Conclusion

The fitness corner is where students exercise. We should all be extra careful to avoid any mishaps or accidents. Safety comes first when playing.

Oral speech - Beach

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.
