Oral Practice -- Day 4

PICTURE DISCUSSION:
This picture depicts a scene of a wheel-bounded man trying out a new launch which allows people in wheelchairs to board public buses more easily. The people in the background, I believe are the staff members of the public bus company as they are all wearing the same logo shirt. The Malay women beside the wheel-bounded man seems to be the supervisor of the staff members. A man wearing t-shirt and sneakers is pushing the wheel-bounded man up a ramp connecting the ground to the bus. Mean time at the door of the bus, a dark-coloured skin man, who seems to be the bus driver, is reaching his hand out to the wheel-bounded man so as to help him into the bus. I suppose that the people in he background would be very glad that now the wheel-bounded people can have another convenience whenever they would like to travel around in a public bus. I think that after the wheel-bounded man have boarded the bus, the wheel-bounded woman would be the next to board the bus. The wide smile on her face showed her excitement in boarding a bus and I think after she has boarded the bus more of the other wheel-bounded people that were with her but not in the picture, would also board the bus and all of them can go for an outing together.

CONVERSATION 1:
I remember visiting a well-known tropical rainforest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last December. The rainforest was indeed a natural beauty. It is such a miracle to see a rainforest in a developed city like K.L. As I walked along the rutted lane of the rainforest, the richness of the soil immediately filled my nose. The trees here were like large pillars of almost a hundred feet tall and the thick canopy above my head provided a wonderful shade. The cool breeze that blew past my cheeks made me feel refreshed. This rainforest is the most beautiful place I've ever been. I feel very relaxed when I was in there like all my worries had been gone with the cool breeze and time really flies when I got there. I would definitely recommend my friends and others as it is really a rare experience that we people who have always been living in a city full of tall buildings and concrete floors. This place would surely be a different and and unforgettable experience for anyone of us.

CONVERSATION 2:
I feel that we each have a responsibility in protecting natural habitats and looking after wildlife. In my opinion, we are destroying the nature in a large extent. Over the years, human activities such as deforestation and poaching have caused much negative impacts to the natural habitats of wildlife, causing these animals to lose their homeland and worse to come, face extinction. We humans have only thought of ourselves all along and through the clearing of lands and disturbing the ecosystems in the forest to build new buildings and shopping centres. It is important to develop cities. Without the development of cities, income of such cities would have been a problem and this would pose as a threat to we humans. However, the conservation of our natural habitats should also be taken note of. We could think of ways to minimize the negative impacts our activities could have for the natural habitat and the wildlife such as replacing a natural habitat of wildlife somewhere else when we have destroyed one.
