Who is this person? What does he do?

Doctor in a white coat using a stethoscope to examine a child sitting up in a hospital bed, both appear calm in a clean and bright hospital room

Who is this person? What does he do?

Three school children in uniform with backpacks walking on a path toward school buildings surrounded by small trees and greenery, calm and focused atmosphere

Various professionals including a doctor with a stethoscope, a teacher writing on a chalkboard, a pilot standing near an airplane, a lawyer speaking in a courtroom, and an artist painting on a canvas. The background suggests a classroom or educational setting. The mood is positive and focused, highlighting people engaged in their respective occupations. No visible text in the image.

Read the poem below. Hover over the red words to see their definitions.

The writer writes and the poet sings

The painter paints some beautiful things.

The doctor heals and the lawyer appeals

The pilot flies planes over the hills.

Teachers teach well, the drivers drive

The actor makes some characters alive.

The player plays and the dancers dance

The merchant sells goods with good chance.

All are busy throughout the days

Or they wander through pleasant ways.

Whatever they do, whatever befall

The farmer must have fed them all.
