Read the article below carefully. This is a part taken from an informative
speech about smoking. Answer the questions that follow:

EXCERPT FROM AN INFORMATIVE SPEECH ON SMOKING

It is general knowledge that smoking is bad for your health. Yet, the number of
smokers globally increases each year. In 2018, according to the World Health Organization
(WHO), in the world, about 1.1 billion people use tobacco. The number might rise to 1.6
billion by 2025.
Tobacco kills; something that smokers tend to ignore until they get cancer or another
terminal disease. In fact, it results in 6 million deaths per year. That means that there is
one tobacco-related death every six seconds.
That said, lack of information about the effects of smoking is a significant contributor
to this pandemic. A survey conducted in China showed revealed that only 38% of tobacco
smokers knew the habit could lead to heart disease and only as few as 27% were aware
smoking could cause a stroke.
Ignorance is no defense. So, today, I am going to present the adverse effects of
tobacco and back them up with facts and real-world statistics.

Message from a Champion
Carefully read the article below and answer the questions that follow.
DREAMS DO COME TRUE
(An excerpt)

(1) It is a matter of record that I only had traditional formal schooling

until Secondary School, Grade 12. It was only recently that I reached
University level through the alternative education program. We were dirt
poor. I had to work since the age of five; to help my mother feed my three
siblings and me. Many days, I was lucky to have one full meal. On days
when we had no food, I would drink lots of water just to fill my stomach. But
my mind and spirit were never hungry. I read anything I could get my hands
on.
(2)At night when I couldn’t sleep because of the cold, I would read the
labels on the carton boxes that served as my bed on the street pavement.
(3)I even read the newspaper that my lunch or dinner came wrapped
in. I read signs everywhere, even on moving vehicles. I learned
measurements and weights by constantly reading the rates and tariffs at the
warehouse where I worked as a stevedore, a docker in your parlance…
(4)I am a fighter, not just because it is my profession. I was a fighter
long before I first set foot in a boxing ring. All my life I have fought to live.
Every single day in my youth, I fought for survival. Now, I do it and get paid
for it. Then, I was lucky to get a piece of bread for it.
(5)And for me, the morning did come. Warm, bright, and simply
amazing- a lesson in what can be achieved if you have determination … if
you ignore the odds against you …and as you are taught here at this
magnificent institution, never, ever quit. Think of David and Goliath. Look at
me. I am not big, and I never had five smooth stones to throw at any
obstacle, but determination is a power tool. I won a lot of fights.
(6)Miracles do happen. Dreams do come true. Being poor does not
mean one must die poor. Hard work and persistence will set you free from
the shackles of poverty. But it is faith that will keep you to the very top.
