Picture 1

This picture shows twopeople: A man and awoman.

The woman (on the left)

seems to be doing manythings at the same time:shes taking care of her

baby while working on

her laptop, eating asandwich and talking onher mobile phone All atthe same time! This is agood example ofmultitasking.


42/48

By contrast, in the pictureon the right we can see aman who is veryconcentrated sitting on

his couch, watching tvwith his remote control inhis hand. Hes probably

changing chanels and he

doesnt seem veryinterested in what hes

doing. If someone spoketo him he wouldnt react

at all. Hes probably not

very good at multitasking


43/48

Picture 2

Picture two shows whatseems to be a contrastbetween jobs traditionallydone by men and jobs

traditionally done bywomen. Except for thefact that here, the man onthe left, who is dressed in

a white cotton bath robe,is holding a baby whileironing. Meanwhile, thetwo women on the rightare posing in their

firefighters uniforms.

Picture 3

Picture 3 shows the contrastbetwen the large family in thephoto on the left and the one-child family on the right. Thephoto on the left seems to bean old, black and white familyportrait where we can see theparents sitting in the centre ofthe picture and their sevenchildren standing around them.They are all staticly looking at

the camera and do not show alot a lot of affection to

eachother


45/48

Picture 3 (cont) By contrast, in the picture

on the right, the twoparents are literallysqueezing their only child,covering him with kisses.The family in this pictureseems be to of asiandescent: Perhaps theyare from China. In China,parents are only allowedto have one child so,according to Dr Leman,China is a nation ofperfectionists,consientious, list-making

people
