Picture Two

I think the people in the picture are celebrating National Day and also the birthday of the woman who sits on a chair in the foreground. The cake on the woman’s hands tells me that it is the woman’s birthday. The fans on the people’s hands with certain words and the tiny Singapore flats on the people’s hands tell me that it is National Day. Thus, I guess that the woman sits on a chair in the foreground was born on National Day. Everyone is celebrating National Day as well as the woman’s birthday. The woman in the foreground is ecstatic as so many people celebrate her birthday. The celebration is probably held in a park as there are trees on the right hand side. The day is a sunny day as some of the people are wearing hats and some are holding umbrella. I think the two female who are beside the woman may be her daughter or her relatives since they have almost the same size as the woman. I think the woman will feel proud because she was born on the day which Singapore was set up. She will also be sensation because plenty of people celebrate her. I think this will be a unforgettable birthday for her too.

Picture One

I think the people in the picture are attempting the low element which also known as ‘spider web’ and they are students from a school. The participants are gathered around at the campsite as shown in the background. The boy in the foreground is trying to go through the spider web. His teammates who are beside and behind him are helping him to balance himself in order not to touch the threads that form the spider web. The boy, who is beside him, is bending down and put his hands on his teammate’s waist to support him. The boy and the girl who are behind him are holding his legs so that he won’t touch the thread so easily. Another girl who is also one of the participants is cheering for them. Every participant looks extremely elated and I think they will be proud of themselves as they have been united as one. Having outdoor team-building activity can build up the bond between teammates. The participants will also learn the importance of teamwork from the activity. After this activity, I think that the participants will know that teamwork is really essential in daily life because when the work which cannot be done by their own selves, will always be done by a team. I think this is why their school holds this activity.

Tell me about how you prepare for a trip away from home

The most impressive trip in my memory is the trip to Japan. Japan is one of my favourite countries. I like Japanese food. I like Japanese culture. And I like Japanese language. When I was 14 years old, I knew that I had an opportunity to go to Japan a month after as I aced my End of Year Exam. I was extremely excited. From that day onwards, I began to learn Japanese so that I could talk to Japanese if there is any chance. I also researched the information of Japan online. I researched about Mount Fuji which is a dormant volcano and also the highest mountain in Japan. I researched about the delicious food of Japan such as sushi which is one of the traditional foods of Japan. I researched about tatami which is a traditional floor covering in Japanese house. I also researched about Japanese culture and knew that Japanese Empire had been communicated with Chinese Empire in the past. Some of the Japanese culture came from China. Japan and China actually kept in touch friendly and peaceful in the past. I even research about Japanese News in order to know that who is the president of Japan nowadays and who will be the next president. This is my preparation for a trip away from home.
