PICTURE 3
This is a picture of a sandcastle building competition. The venue is probably at the beach since sand is an essential material in sandcastle building. It must have been a fine and cooling day, since there are many visitors at the background occupied in their own activities. At the center of the picture, A group of children accompanied by 2 adults are building a sandcastle. They have already built an impressive rounded base for the sandcastle. The children looks very determined in the competition and I can even see a boy carving out a deep hole around the base which probably could be a moat. They should be a family except for the woman at the right, who is probably the timekeeper or the guide as she is teaching the family to place their hands firmly on the base to make it firm and stable. Furthermore, there is a lanyard hung around her neck, holding a card that likely states her identity. Looking at the strong team spirit and the coordination, it would not be a surprise that they might win the competition.
The other team at the background, on the other hand,looks disorganised as some of them are standing and there is no sign of cooperation or teamwork at all.
The intense competition is unnoticed by the visitors who were having a whale of a time, occupied in their own activities such as sunbathing, picnicking, burying themselves in sand.

CONVERSATION 3
I have once participated in Inter-class sports on basketball. I was really adamant on winning the competition. In fact, all my team members shared the same sentiments. Although we played aggressively, nevertheless we lost by a close shave. However, through this competition, our class fostered an invaluable bond. It did not mattered whether we won or lost, but the journey that counted, the intangible friendship, the team spirit.
Yes, i feel that students are overly preoccupied when i come to indoor activities. It leads to a sedentary lifestyle, which in my opinion is not a healthy lifestyle. Outdoor activities on the other hand will be a refreshing respite from their hectic academic schedule.
