Oral Picture Practice Set 2: Picture 5
Introduction
This picture depicts a scene at a swimming pool. Swimming is a good form of sport as well as a good leisure activity. Many people were there to swim. Both children and adults. They seem to be enjoying themselves.
Scenario 1: Wrong and Consequences
A girl is running on the pavement near the pool. As she is running, she accidentally knocked into a boy and the boy slipped and fell from the edge of the pool. A middle-aged lady saw what was happenning and rush up immediately to hold him back.
I think that they should not run at the swimming complex as the floors at the swimming complex are rather slippery and wet. If the boy falls into the pool and does not know how to swim, he will drown. I would suggest for them to play in a shallow pool with a beach ball. That way, it will be more safety.
Scenario 2: Cause and Effect
A man is struggling in the water. He might be having leg cramps and the lady not far from him is rushing forward to lend him a helping hand.
The man should have do some simple stretching exercises before going into the pool to prevent such incidents to happen again. I applaud the woman for its kind act as she will be a perfect role model for children to follow.
Scenario 3: Normal
There are two boys, age of a student, playing with a beach ball. Both of them have a float around their waist. With the presence of the swimming float, I guess that they do not know how to swim. Furthermore, the pool seems to be a deep pool.
It is dangerous for the children to play in the deep pool as the water may be too deep for them. If they lose their balance, they may drown. It is also against the rules for children to play in the deep pool. I suggest they play in the children pool as it is more shallow and more safety.
Conclusion
No matter where we are, there is always a spoken or unspoken set of rules. Rules are set to prevent danger and it also allows us to be more precaution. Therefore, safety always comes first.
Swimming is also a good form of sport for people of all ages to enjoy and relief stress. It also strengthens the heart and lung muscles which keeps us fit.
