Picture Discussion:

This is a picture depicting several women trying to cut the wigs on the dummy human heads. I can tell that it is probably a temporary factory because there is only a table in the foreground of the picture, and no machines are shown in the picture. Perhaps they are trying to style the wigs in order to sell them away for money. The picture also depicts the women being confident in their skills and thus, they might be professional hairstylists. Also, they seem to enjoy what they are doing, with smiles on their faces. In the middle of the picture, a lady wearing a sleeve-less strap top is holding up the strands of hair on the wig and her scissors, probably attempting to trim the wig. She looks confident just like all the other women. Perhaps she might be thinking of the profits that she would earn from the wigs that would be sold, and the money would benefit her family. Before this picture was taken, the women were probably all at their homes, tidying up their homes before going to work, which is shown in this picture. I think that it is a good idea that the women also shares the burden of the family, earning extra income as well as doing the things that interest them, instead of staying at home and not being able to display their talents. If I were one of the women in the picture, I would be thinking to myself, 'This is easy money..'

Conversation:

My favourite hairstyle is short and simple hair. Personally, I feel that having short hair would not make me feel warm during days which are exceptionally warm, especially when living in Singapore, where the weather is generally hot throughout the year. The fact that I like my hair simple is that I would not waste time trying to get my hair right before rushing out when I am rushing for time. Furthermore, I am a rather lazy person and would not bother to style my own hair just for the sake of looking "nice". I enjoy going to the hairdresser, as I would have short hair again, after my haircut. As mentioned just now, I do not like my hair long. Personally, I feel that hairstyles are not important at all. As long as your hair is neat and tidy, it does not matter whether you look stylish or "cool" in the sense that your hair is unique. Furthermore, in schools which are slightly stricter, the teachers might not accept students with hair that they deem outrageous or far too long. Why create the unnecessary trouble?
