EL Oral Communication: DAY 7

PICTURE DISCUSSION

This picture depicts a scene at a hawker centre. In the picture, there are people cleaning the area. Some are spraying water on the stools and tables such as the woman in boots on the right, while others are wiping the area. Probably someone who has been infected with a contagious disease had been there, and the people are trying to decontaminate the area. Or maybe it is less serious; they are just trying to clean the area to rid it of pesky pests such as cockroaches.
On a normal day, the hawker centre most probably would be bustling with people having their meals...........

CONVERSATION

The apartment I live in is kept clean by sweeping and mopping daily. My family members and I do not step into the apartment with our shoes on, to prevent dirt and grime from the soles of our shoes to dirty the apartment.
In my opinion, hygiene is of utmost importance. By being hygienic, many illnesses can be kept at bay. For example, as a hygienic person washes his/her hands regularly, most of the bacteria/viruses are killed. However, being too hygienic may not be best either. Whenever a person is OVER hygienic, he/she may become paranoid about germs and the ilk, and this may affect the person socially; as he/she is too afraid of germs, he/she refuses to shake hands with others. A person's immune system may also be impaired because when the person becomes over hygienic.
