Holiday Hw Wk 10

This picture depicts a man and woman performing at an old folk's home. The man is currently performing for the old folks. He is probably doing a traditional dance or playing a game with the old folks. The old folks seem to be enjoying the people's company and are even joining along. In my opinion, the men may have been trained in opening up to people and performing.I think the elderly find this activity interesting as being cooped up in the home all day is not good and it is good to have some exercises to stretch.
A performance that impressed me was a skit i saw in primary school. The actors were so realistic that it was almost hard to imagine that it was just a performance. After that, the whole school resounded with the sound of applause for them. However if it were me, I would not consider a career in acting, as I am very shy and quiet, and cannot express myself well.
I agree that some people worry too much about things. However, I also feel that being uncaring is also not good. I usually get worried about daily things like handing up assignments, upcoming tests and quizzes and exams. However, as long as you believe in yourself and do your best you will have confidence, you have no need to worry about anything.

Holiday Hw Day 8

This picture depicts a woman playing with a group of children. From the surroundings, this appears to be a childcare center and the woman must be a childcare worker there. They all seem to be enjoying themselves by playing together. Playing together helps to form friendship bonds between them. I feel that after this activity, the children would probably move on to another game or settle down for lessons.
I would like to run a car repair shop one day. I have always fascinated by cars, and have learnt a lot about car repair from my father. Furthermore, there will be more and more hybrid cars on the roads in the future, thus i can have my shop specifically target hybrid cars. my strongest skill relating to work or employment would be having beforehand knowledge of car repair, so when my business starts I will have no problem. Running a business may be difficult however, when competitors start to appear, as we would be competing to persuade the customers to patronize our shop.
Difficulties a woman faces by pursuing a career and having a family would be that she would be at work most of the time, unable to take care of her children as they grow up. These employers can help these women by giving them certain days off, for example once a week to take care of their children.

Holiday Hw Wk 6

This picture depicts a group of girls cheering for their school's participants. They seem rather excited, which may be because their school is winning/ They seem to be having a good time at the competition, judging from their expressions. In my opinion, it is good for them to be cheering. The reason for this is that by doing so, it shows that the girls actually care about the event. This will also help to instill in them a greater sense of belonging to their school.
There was one occasion when I wrongly accused my brother of taking my things when he actually did not. I was very angry at him and ignored him when he claimed to be innocent. It was after one week that I found out that he was innocent after all. From this experience, I have learnt not to jump to conclusions and falsely accuse others. I believe that when one makes a mistake, we must admit to it. However, some people may find it hard to admit their mistakes, probably because they do not want to be embarrassed or are just stubborn.
I believe that everyone can be good at sports. There are many different sports to choose from, and anyone can find at least one sport that suits them. However, there are those who excel at sports compared to others. in my opinion, the main reason for this is the amount of effort put into playing the sport. If someone truly loves the sport, he or she would spur themselves to constantly improve. I believe that everyone, regardless of gender are good at sports. As long as they have the interest, they can be good at the sport.

Holiday Hw Day 4

This picture depicts a wheelchair-bound man being helped onto a bus. Someone is helping to push him onto the bus up a ramp, and another is waiting at the top of the ramp to receive him and pull both him and the wheelchair onto the bus. I believe that this man is someone who even though became disabled was able to overcome all obstacles to become well again. The people around him must be thinking that he deserves respect for pulling through everything to survive. I think that next he would travel to different hospitals and encourage the sick and disabled there as well.
A area of natural beauty I have been to would be the Singapore Botanical Gardens. The scenery there is stunning, and the sound of birds and insects chirping are carried on the wind. Yes, I would recommend it to others, as it is a place of relaxation. As for me, it made me feel as though I was somewhere else, letting me forget my troubles momentarily.
We should protect the natural habitats and wildlife, as once they are gone, they can never come back. Right now, mankind's activities have polluted the Earth, and are slowly destroying the Earth and nature. The Earth has been polluted to such an extent such that if these activities are not reduced soon, nature will soon cease to exist, and the Earth may become uninhabitable. it is important to develop cities at the cost of destroying nature only if there is a need to, for example to house a growing population.

Holiday Hw Day 2

This picture depicts a hair-dressing course. It is a practical session where trainees have a chance to have a hands-on approach to hairdressing. They are practicing on false heads of both genders. Some trainees seem to be enjoying themselves, as can be seen from the broad grins on their faces. These are the enthusiastic few, who are new to hairdressing and tend to overdo it a bit. Others, however are the more seasoned trainees, who are equally as enthusiastic but concentrate on doing a good haircut, practicing and refining what they already know. Since all of the trainees in the picture are dark-skinned, I am led to believe that this may be a course organized by a community club or organization for the Malay and Indian minority groups.
My favorite hairstyle is a long fringe to the side and thinly-cut hair. I enjoy going to the hairdresser as I can cut my hair in any particular style I want or according to situations. For example, if the weather is hot and humid, I cut my hair short to feel cooler. Also. my hairdresser can suggest different styles to try, and we can chat about current affairs while my hair is being cut.
I believe that security cameras in public places are necessary to enhance our security. If a crime is committed, the culprits may be caught on tape by the security cameras, making it easier for them to be tracked down and caught. However, security cameras may make people feel less relaxed as they give them the unsettling feeling of being watched. also, if you wanted to do something private, there would be someone sitting behind a screen somewhere, laughing at your antics.
