Smoke is Harmful

Nowadays many people like to smoke. However in my opinion, I believe smoking is harmful in some ways.

The first point I would like to tell you is smoking helps people to relax and improve their concentration. For example, some of our students ask the teacher to have a break, because they can’t concentrate on the subject. Also I believe it is about freedom. For example we can’t tell them to stop smoking while we see them in the street, because it is their choice. I would also argue that it has become kind of stylish. For example the businessmen smoke cigars to show that they are rich and powerful. The main reason that I feel this is a hard life forces them to smoke. For example after working for a long time in the office.

In my opinion, smoking is harmful in some ways. The first argument is because of heart attacks. Another argument is difficulty in breathing; for example our lungs can become heavy and black. A further issue is preventing smoking in the mall, because smoking will affect the people in the mall and will pollute the air. Finally, smoking will affect the teeth, because they will become yellow and dirty and finally will fall out.

As you have seen, smoking is very harmful and it causes heart disease and will affect people in the mall. In the end smoking is about freedom and helps people to relax and improve their concentration.

Line Graph Population Growth 1750 to 2150

This line chart shows the information about population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150. These estimates are by the United Nations World Population prospects and the Population Reference Bureau.

In 2000 the population was 6.1 billion in the whole world. United Nations world population prospects expected over ten billion population growth in 2150, whereas in 1750 it was less than one billion. What’s more from 2000 to 2050 the population will rise by about a half. Furthermore the United Nations world population prospects predict the population will gradually increase from 2050 to 2150. What it shows in the graph is that between 1950 and 2000 there was a sharp increase from 2.1 billion to 6.1 billion. Finally, if we go back from 1750 to 1900 the growth didn’t reach one billion.

As we have seen, the population of the world is still growing, whereas between 1950 to 2000 there was a sharp increase but not much change from 1750 to 1900.

Reflection (3)

In semester two we concentrated on two types of writing, the description of graphs and the problem and solution.

In the graph we started with pie charts then two pie charts. For example Valentine’s Day Gifts and the UK government. After that bar charts such as City Growth and Top Ten Date producing countries. The last chart was table chart like Hurricanes and Tornadoes.

In the problem and solution we have done two writings. The first one was traffic in Abu Dhabi and problem and solution in obesity. In this writing we have to write four paragraphs. The first paragraph is the introduction. The second and third paragraphs are problem and solution including examples. The final we must choose the most viable solutions.

Line Graph

Three African Cities

The line graph gives information about the average monthly temperatures in three African cities - Mombasa, Cairo, and Cape Town. Each city has its own different climate, with very different characteristics.

The hottest place shown on the graph is Cairo. In July and August, average temperatures rise to over 80º Fahrenheit. However, Cairo also has the biggest variation in climate.Temperatures drop to as low as 55 degrees in Cairo’s winter, during January and February. This is equal to Cape Town’s lowest temperature in July. In fact Cairo and Cape Town are almost opposites in temperature. Cairo is hottest when Cape Town is coldest.

Cape Town does not have the range that Cairo has. Its maximum temperature is 70º F from November to February, after which it drops gradually to about 55 degrees in its winter. In contrast to Cairo or Cape Town,

Mombasa is warm all year round. Its temperature fluctuates very little, ranging from a low of 75 to a maximum of 83 in March.

In conclusion, location is very important in deciding climate. When it is winter in Cairo, it is summer in Cape Town, but Mombasa, being tropical, is warm all year round.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes

This table shows the differences between two very strong winds, hurricanes and tornadoes.

There are several features of the winds. The minimum wind speed for hurricanes is 74 miles per hour, whereas for tornadoes it is 40 miles per hour. However the maximum wind speed for hurricanes is between 155 to 200 miles per hour, whereas tornadoes have got 250 to 300 miles per hour. The hurricane classification scale is the Saffir, Simpson C1to C5, whereas the tornadoes classification scale is the Fujita F0 to F5. Hurricanes can last one week on average, but tornadoes only last a few minutes or sometimes up to a few hours. In addition a hurricane has 300 miles of average width of storm. However tornadoes have 100 to 600 meters and some up to 1.5 km wide. Hurricanes can usually be predicted in advance, whereas tornadoes can’t. Finally, hurricanes start over warm oceans, but tornadoes usually start over land.

As you have seen, the tornadoes cause much damage in a few minutes with maximum wind speed 300 miles per hour, but a hurricane's duration will be one week on average.
