PICTURE:

This picture depicts a scene of five women each practicing to cut a dummy’s hair. I guess all five of them are training apprentices who are currently having a hands-on session on the hair of the dummy. I think they are in training and not professionals as they are practicing on dummies’ hair instead of hair of real humans.

Starting from the left, the women with a white sleeveless shirt have a very calm expression on her face as she combs the hair with her right hand. She may be thinking how to cut the dummy’s hair before starting. Unlike the other four women who held their scissors with their right hand, she holds the scissors with her left hand. I guess she is probably left-handed. Next to her is a woman wearing a white spaghetti-strapped top. I guess she is trying to estimate the length that she is going to cut for the dummy’s fringe as she pulled the hair upwards. She seems to be enjoying herself as she is smiling happily at that time. On her left, a woman wearing a patterned shirt is grinning, showing her teeth, as she styles the hair of the dummy. I can see that she has a great passion for hairstyling. The woman next to her, wearing a v-necked shirt, is combing the hair of the dummy. Finally the women on the very right of the picture, she is in full concentration. She seems to be having a hard time as she looks a little stressed.

I think after they finish styling the hairs of the dummies, they will proceed on to practice the skill of washing the hair as there is a bottle of conditioner on the table.

I strongly believe they will become professional hairstylist in no time if they carry on being passionate about the art of hairstyling.

CONVERSATION:

1)I do not have a favourite hairstyle. I usually let the hairstylist decide wad type of hairstyle he or she is going to cut for me. As long it of a certain length that I could tie it up, I am fine with it. This is because I do not look as good with my hair short. I have mixed feelings about going to the hairdresser. I do not like the feeling of having a sudden change of hairstyle as I think I am too used to the previous haircut. However I need to cut them regularly as I need to keep them neat. I think hairstyles are quite important. When someone first look at you, they see your face, which is somewhat “shaped” by your hair. Many say that first impression counts, that why having a hairstyle that suits you is quite important. However, I think the character of the person is even more important. You can change your hairstyle easily, but in order for one to change his character, it might take years.

2)I think that the installation of CCTV or security cameras in public places has its pros and cons. CCTV protects shops against thief and other crimes. It can also be used as an evidence in court. Policemen can use these tapes from the CCTVs to aid them when they are solving crimes. Hence CCTV are quite useful. However, the CCTVs is also a monitoring device for any other people in that same place. Without knowing, you might be monitored from the minute in step into a shopping. Nobody likes the feeling of being monitored, even though you have a clear conscious. People might feel restricted instead of the intended feeling of you are safe from thieves. In all, such devices are necessary, but it must get the understanding of public in order to let them feel safe from crimes.
