Oral Day 8

Picture Discussion
This picture depicts a scene of an open field play area outside a kindergarten. This may be their break time and they are playing games. Even their teachers are sporting enough to play with them. The children are split into different groups and they seem to be lining up one after another, with the teacher as the front person. It seems like they are playing the game "Eagle catching the little chickens". They are having a whale of a time. and definitely enjoying themselves to the fullest. After this activity, i think the children might go back inside and shower before taking a nap to cool themselves down and have a short rest after the tiring activity they just had.

Conversation
2. Some of the difficulties faced by women wishing to pursue a career and have a family is that they do not know how to juggle both at the same time, hence leaving them all stressed out. Thus, women nowadays prefer to focus on their career first before settling down to start a family. It might be too stressful for those who are not able to take it. In the day, you receive stress from work. At night, you still have to go home and take care of the family, both young and old. It might turn into a chore. Employers can help these women by giving them incentives, for example give them more days off as pay leave so that they can better manage their time, have a more balanced lifestyle and not neglect their family at the same time. Working from home has both its pros and cons. The advantages are that it is convenient, because you do not have to travel all the way to and back from workplace everyday. However, the disadvantages are that it is not good cooping yourself up at home. In the long run, you might become anti-social because you work alone, and you do not even interact with your colleagues and such.
