Questions by the Examiners
[1] Why do you think these people are gathered here?
This looks like a blood-donation drive.
Immediately in this picture, I see two men having their blood pressure taken.
Afterwards I think they will donate their blood.
The other people in the background are waiting for their turn to have the nurses attend to them.
The place looks like a makeshift medical centre.
The facilities used by the medical personnel are simple but adequate for the purpose.
These blood donors are gathered here for a good cause.
Their contribution is important.
I am sure their blood will be properly stored in a blood bank.
Whenever there is a need, their contribution will come in useful for needy patients.
Judging from the facial expressions of the men in the foreground, they seem most willing and generous to donate their blood.
The rest of the people are also waiting patiently.
Hopefully, they are all able to donate blood to the blood bank.
They should know that they are doing a very meaningful thing.
[2] Who do you think is the busiest person in the picture, and why?
I think the busiest person is the nurse attending to the blood pressure taking in the foreground.
Of course, her other colleagues in the background, the two attendance taking assistants are also busy, but the nurse should be the busiest.
She is the busiest because she needs to attend to every one of the donors personally.
Before she straps the blood pressure armband around a person, she will need to check to see if the donor's medical record is in order.
Then she has to see if the donor is medically fit.
Then she has to ask if the donor has any previous experience in blood donation.
She cannot afford to make any mistakes in this checking.
She also need to record the blood pressure correctly.
After that, she needs to make sure she finds the correct blood vessel to collect blood from the donor.
She needs to pay a lot of personal attention.
She needs to put the collected blood away safely by making sure it is kept in a proper storage.
Then she has to go attend to the next person.
She may only rest after she is done with the last donor, unless extra helpers come along so that she can take a break.
These are the reasons why I say she has to be the busiest person here.
[3] How do you think the man having his blood pressure taken is feeling?
Judging from his facial expressions, the man seems calm and collected.
He should be feeling quite happy with what he is doing.
He is doing a good deed.
He is having his blood pressure checked and he should feel confident that he is healthy enough to contribute.
He is also mentally getting himself prepared to have his blood drawn from his blood vessel.
Some people are panicky and get all nervous when they think about having a needle poke into their body and having their blood drawn afterwards.
But not this man.
Like I've said earlier, he looks very calm and well-prepared.
That's why I think he must be feeling good and confident.
He is doing a good deed.
