This picture depicts a scene of a particular nursing home where a young man in his twenties is holding a session for the elderly residents there.From what I see,I think that the man standing in the middle of the picture is a professional guidance teacher who is trying to get the elderly to imitate his actions.Most of the people there,including the helpers and the elderly,seem to be interested in what the man is telling them.I think that the reason why this man is hired to do this is to keep the elderlys' minds stimulated so that they have something to keep their minds occupied,thus delaying or preventing diseases such as Alzeihmer's.As a result,it is of utmost importance to keep the elderlys' minds in tip-top shape to reduce the chances of illnesses like dementia.

This picture depicts a scene of several children playing a game of tag in the form of 'mother hen and the eagle' with an adult,probably their teacher.They are playing in a wide,spacious field and seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.Although this appears to be an informal shot in which the children are unaware of,the adult teacher seem to notice it,although she is too preoccupied with the game to care about it.In my opinion,everyone is having a great time playing this game because it lets them enjoy and relax in life at the same time,especially for the adult teacher who can play in a care free manner to let go of the realistic world,albeit for a short period of time.Therefore,I think that the childhood memories one experiences is the most carefree one as it does not involve matters of the adult world which is not as simple as what one encounters during childhood.Overall,it causes no harm if an adult occasionally reminiscence the innocent childhood memories back in the old days.

This picture depicts a scene of 4 school girls in their uniforms cheering in unison at a particular stadium field.Thus,I think that the school is currently holding its sports meet and that there is a competition happening.These 4 girls are clapping their hands in enthusiasm and their elated expressions in the form of jubilant smiles are plastered onto their faces.In my opinion,these girls are cheering on for the team they are supporting and that team has most likely won one of the sports event.Also,I think that perhaps one of the reasons why the supported team had won the event had something to do with these girls' cheering.With friends who cheer them on to win the race,the team members must have been encouraged by their 'never-say-die' attitude,thus giving them a boost in confidence and adrenaline,pushing them to their very best to win the race.This kind of comradeship is indeed worth treasuring.

This picture depicts a scene at an outdoor area where a number of wheelchair-bound people are waiting to board a bus specially designed to accommodate their physical handicap.At the entrance of a bus,there is a middle-aged man dressed in a flowery shirt holding out a helping hand for a handicapped person who is attempting to go up the ramp leading to the bus.Behind the handicapped person,another man clad in a T-shirt,probably one of the organization's helpers,is gripping on to the wheelchair handles tightly to push the man up onto the ramp.From what I see,I think that this simple action alone reflects how much the society cares for its needy citizens which in this case,are physically disabled people, by providing transport services catered especially to the needs of these people.The fact that the society does not leave any of its people out just because of their handicaps is heartwarming.As human beings,we should not neglect difficulties faced by these people,even though their troubles might seem insignificant to us.An act of kindness,however small,will most probably make the day for these people.Therefore,I conclude that how the society treats its needy people reflects the kindness and compassion of the society.

This picture depicts a scene of 5 women practicing on some wigheads.They are most likely apprentices who are trying to master the art of cutting hair and washing heads,as seen from the bottle of conditioner on the table.Some of them,like the women on the extreme left and extreme right,are frowning in concentration as they snip off the dummies' hair expertly while the others are chatting and smiling happily,presumably to ease their boredom.However,they all seem to have the passion for this line of work from the amount of their enthusiasm and effort put into this hands-on practice session.It also seems that most women grow their hair long as seen from the picture where the apprentices are practicing mostly on wigheads with long hair.However,at the right foreground of the picture,there are two wigheads with short hair which are cut by other people.Perhaps this is to prepare for some customers who may want short,boyish cuts.After all,I think it is helps the trainees gain as much experience from creating a variety of different hairstyles to suit their customers' individual needs and at the same time,keeping up with the latest trends in the current fashionable hair-dos.
From what I see,I think that this picture was taken without any of the apprentices' knowledge because if they had known that they were caught on camera,they might not have looked so relaxed and focused on their work.Also, I think that they might not have behaved naturally under the camera.
To sum it all up,I think that as long as these apprentices continue to persevere in their efforts to perfect their hairstyling skills,then they would probably be successful barbers in the future.

Due to the escalation in the murder incidents in East End,the FBI carried out a covert operation to uncover the murderer responsible for the victims' plight. With the recent case about the fabrication of evidence that wasn't found out until three months of barking up the wrong tree.

T2W1: POOR

Used to living a life of opulence, Sonia could not adjust to the new life of destitution in the slums of the city. Even with the lush vegetation and enviably well-maintained parks surrounding her, she felt left out. For the first time in her life, she was not a part of the life of decadence. Call her one addicted to the life of materialism, but here, she truly simply had nothing, and nobody could bring her to salvation.
